Template:Ln/doc

About

This template and the other related templates listed below produce a series of links for a specified page that is generally, though not always, of the form:

Page (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The six links are:

edit – edit the page;

talk/subject – access its talk page (or if the target page is a talk page, its subject page);

history – access its edit history;

links – access the "what links here" feature;

watch – add the page to one's watchlist; and

log – access its logs.

The major difference between the templates is the "namespace" of the page to which it is applied.

• General:
  • Template:Pagelinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for any page in any namespace.
  • Template:Ln (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
  • Template:Lnt (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any talk namespace.

Usage

Namespace	Link to subject page	Link to talk page
General	{{pagelinks|FULL PAGE NAME}}	Same as for subject page
	{{ln|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}	{{lnt|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}
Article	{{la|ARTICLE}}	{{lat|ARTICLE}}
Template	{{lt|TEMPLATE}}	{{ltt|TEMPLATE}}
User	{{lu|PAGE}}	{{lut|PAGE}}
Category	{{lc|PAGE}}	{{lct|PAGE}}
File	{{lf|FILE}}	{{lft|FILE}}
Portal	{{lp|PORTAL}}	{{lpt|PORTAL}}
Help	{{lh|PAGE}}	{{lht|PAGE}}
Module	{{lmd|MODULE}}	{{lmdt|MODULE}}

Examples

{{subst:ln|Category|Help}} results (or resulted) in this code:

{{lx|1=:{{ucfirst:Category}}:|2={{ucfirst:Help}}|3=:Category talk|4=talk}}

Note the important colon in 1=:, unnecessary (?) for other Lx namespaces.
Substituting both Lx and Ucfirst finally arrived at (line breaks added manually):

 <span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[[:Category:Stubs]] <tt>(</tt>
