Template documentation

This template links to a page on mediawiki.org from the Help pages. The template has two parameters:

1. Pagename, optionally preceded by an interwiki link prefix valid on mediawiki.org
2. (optional) Link description

This is so that the public domain help pages - which can be freely copied and included in other sites - have correct links to Mediawiki:

• on external sites, it creates an interwiki link to 'mw' (included in the default interwiki table for new installs)
• on Mediawiki, it creates an internal or interwiki link

All links from the Help namespace to other parts of the mediawiki.org wiki should use this template.

Demo of interwiki link

{{mediawiki|m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation}} gives either
[[m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation]] or [[mw:m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation]].

The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Mediawiki/doc. (edit | history) Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create) and testcases (create) pages. Please add categories and interwikis to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template.
