Template:Ml

[[{{{1}}}]]

Multiple Links

This template produces a link in internal link style and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearch, which, unlike Special:Whatlinkshere, is specific for the target section. This backlink requires that the extension Special:Linksearch has been installed, which is the case on Wikimedia wikis.

Usage:

{{ Ml | target_page | optional_anchor | optional_label }}

Do not put "#" at the start of the anchor.

Examples:

{{Ml|Help:Link}} gives Help:Link [1]
"{{Ml|Help:Link|Section linking (anchors)}}" gives "Help:Link#Section linking (anchors)" [2]
{{Ml|Help:Link||label}} gives label [3]
{{Ml|Help:Link|Section linking (anchors)|label}} gives label [4]
{{Ml|a}} gives A [5]

Wrong:

{{Ml|

a}} gives [[

a]] [6]

Linksearch with target page Help:Link - gives pairs of source page and full target
Linksearch with as target the sections of Help:Link starting with "S" - ditto

Compare:

Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Link - no indication of, or selection by, target section

Undefined parameter giving odd result:

{{Ml|a:{{{2}}}}} gives [[A:{{{2}}}]]
substituted (first part): [[A:{{{2}}}]]

Compare:

{{subst:ml|a:b}} gives A:b
