Template:Localized link and Template:Localized link/sandbox: Difference between pages

<translate>

== Purpose == <!--T:1-->

</translate>

<translate><!--T:8--> This helper template can be used to link to [[<tvar name=1>Special:LanguageStats</tvar>|translatable pages]] in the user's language.</translate>

<translate><!--T:9--> It uses the special page prefix <tvar name=1><code>Special:MyLanguage/</code></tvar>, 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.</translate>

<translate>

<!--T:10-->

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.

== Usage == <!--T:2-->

</translate>

{{Localized link/doc}}

<translate>

<!--T:11-->

If the "<tvar name=1><code>nsp</code></tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "<tvar name=1><code>nsp</code></tvar>" parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).

<!--T:25-->

When linking to a section within a page, the section is not displayed in the link text.

== Usage in translatable pages == <!--T:6-->

<!--T:12-->

On pages prepared for translation with the <tvar name=1>{{ll|Extension:Translate|nsp=0}}</tvar> extension, this template may be used in three ways.

</translate>

# <translate><!--T:13--> Substitute this template, then embed the wikilink target in a <tvar name=1>{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{^(}}tvar name=id{{)^}}...{{^(}}/tvar{{)^}}|lang=html|inline=1}}</tvar>, separate from the translatable text of the link.</translate>

#: <translate><!--T:26--> For example:</translate> {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|Learn more {{{{^(}}tvar name=1{{)^}}ll|Communication{{^(}}/tvar{{)^}}|about communication}}.|lang=html|inline=1}}

# <translate><!--T:16--> If link text is the same as the name of the target page, all of the code could also be embedded into <tvar name=1>{{tag|tvar|open}}</tvar>.</translate>

#: <translate><!--T:27--> For example:</translate> {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|Learn more about {{^(}}tvar name=1{{)^}}<nowiki>{{ll|Communication}}</nowiki>{{^(}}/tvar{{)^}}.|lang=html|inline=1}}

# <translate><!--T:28--> For standalone links, such as in a list or table, translate only the link text if it differs from the name of the target page.</translate> <translate><!--T:15--> This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.</translate> <translate><!--T:29--> Make sure to include the parameter name when adding translate tags inside template syntax.</translate>

#: <translate><!--T:30--> For example:</translate>

::: {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|* {{((}}ll{{!}}Project:About{{))}}|lang=html|inline=1}}

::: {{#tag:syntaxhighlight|* {{((}}ll{{!}}Communication{{!}}2={{^(}}translate{{)^}}About communication{{^(}}/translate{{)^}}{{))}}|lang=html|inline=1}}
