}}This template links to a page on mediawiki.org from the Help pages. The template has three parameters:
- Pagename, optionally preceded by an interwiki link prefix valid on mediawiki.org
- (optional) Link description
- (optional) Special. Set this to "yes" for special pages, and the template will link to the local Special page if it exists (otherwise, it will point to mediawiki.org).
{{ #ifeq: MeritBadgeDotOrg | MediaWiki | This is so that the public domain help pages - which can be freely copied and included in other sites - have correct links to Mediawiki:
- on external sites, it creates an interwiki link to 'mw' (included in the default interwiki table for new installs)
- on Mediawiki, it creates an internal or interwiki link
All links from the Help namespace to other parts of the mediawiki.org wiki should use this template.}}
Demo of interwiki link
{{mediawiki|m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation}} gives either
[[m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation]] or [[mw:m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation]].
