-=== Usage ===
+A simple template for linking to particular articles at WP without making what appear to be blue links.  May need slight text tweaking.
-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.
+*Parameter 1 = exact wikipedia title
+*Parameter 2 = preferred text (optional)
-If the name of the Wikipedia article is the same as the desired text of the link, use just
+Example:
- <nowiki>{{wpl|name of Wikipedia article}}</nowiki>
-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>{{wpa|clueless}}</nowiki>
- <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:
+yields:
- <nowiki>{{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}</nowiki>
-results in {{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}
-The image used in this template is [[:File:Wikipedia's W.svg]].
+{{wpa|clueless}}
