Thread:Project:Support desk/How do I create a link to the login page with(!) special parameters?

Hi guys,

I want to create a template with a link to the login page. This is the link I want:

[/Special:UserLogin?returnTo=&action=edit Login and contribute]

Basically, this link works as expected.

But there is one problem:

When I put this link inside a template, then it just won't show up.

I have this template:

I use the template like so:

So where you see the in the template, there MediaWiki should show the link.

But it does not. At that place I just do not get any output.

Am I doing something wrong?
