Purpose
This helper template can be used to link to translatable pages in the user's language. It uses the special page prefix, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.

It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.

Usage
If the " " parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "  " parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).

Examples of simple usage
