Template:Localized link/doc

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.

Simple usage
It is used in the same way normal wikilinks are used: One parameter to use the same link text as the page name, two parameters for different page name and link text.

If second parameter is not defined, link text will display the name of the target page in the language corresponding to the language of the current page (if exist; otherwise — English name).
