Template talk:Mediawiki

Purpose

 * See: Project:PD help

This template creates links to Mediawiki. This is so that the Help namespace, which is public domain and can be freely copied and included in other sites, has correct links to Mediawiki:
 * on external sites, it creates an external link
 * on Mediawiki, it creates an internal link

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

What’s the point of this template?
I don’t understand the point of this template – why write   rather than  Foo , particularly as this creates an external link?

 * Some investigation (Project:PD help) reveals that it’s for automatically creating external links when the pages are included in a different project. I’ve written that up above.

Internal links
I’ve modified this so that on Mediawiki itself, it creates internal links, which is less disconcerting.
