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

Examples of simple usage
