=== Usage ===
{{Messagebox|warning|class=mb-brainwatermark|2='''This template is used on a <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|hidelinks=1&hideredirs=1}} large number of pages]</span>'''.
This is a template for in-text linking to Wikipedia '''in articles''', as using a piped link with the <nowiki>[[wp:]]</nowiki> prefix creates a link that is hard to distinguish from an internal link and may confuse the reader. It's not necessary to use the template on discussion pages, because there the wp: prefix doesn't have to be hidden.


Like the other Wikipedia templates, it's best to use this template sparingly.
In order to prevent unnecessary server load, edits should be kept to a minimum. Please experiment in the template's [[{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|doc| {{SUBJECTSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}} | {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} }}/sandbox|/sandbox]] or [[{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|doc| {{SUBJECTSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}} | {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} }}/testcases|/testcases]] subpage, or in your own sandbox, and consider discussing your changes on the [[{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|doc| {{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}} | {{TALKPAGENAME}} }}|talk page]] before applying them.
 
{{messagebox|info|Editing a template causes '''all pages that use the template to be re-rendered'''. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the server since it fills up the [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Job queue|job queue]].}}}}<noinclude>
If the name of the Wikipedia article is the same as the desired text of the link, use just
<!-- do not edit this, edit the /doc subpage instead -->
<nowiki>{{wpl|name of Wikipedia article}}</nowiki>
{{doc}}
 
</noinclude>
If you want to put some other text in the link or format it in some special way, you need to pass it as the second parameter:
<nowiki>{{wpl|name of Wikipedia article|''alternative'' text}}</nowiki>
 
To avoid leaving a large space before a punctuation sign, leave the second parameter blank and use the punctuation sign as a third parameter. For example:
<nowiki>{{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}</nowiki>
results in {{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}

File:Warning icon orange.svg This template is used on a large number of pages.

In order to prevent unnecessary server load, edits should be kept to a minimum. Please experiment in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own sandbox, and consider discussing your changes on the talk page before applying them.

Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the server since it fills up the job queue.
