Extension:LinkAttributes

The LinkAttributes extension extends the link syntax to allow custom attributes, such as rel="author".

Usage
Extra attributes are added at the end of a link, separated with a pipe (|) or a broken pipe (¦), like this: my Twitter account|rel=me or my userpage|rel=me

Allowed properties are:,  ,  ,  ,   and.

In some places (such as inside templates with tables) the pipe can be hard to use, as it has special meanings to MediaWiki. Therefore a broken pipe (¦) will also work with this extension:. Note that the following will NOT add an attribute:. The extension has no way of knowing if  is supposed to be an attribute or the actual text to be linked, so the link would have to be written like this:. Also note that after installing this extension, pipe characters will no work in link texts.
