Notes

• Do not try to use this template with second parameter but with an empty first one: {{link||wikiquote}}. It would not work!
• If you want to display on the page another word then the one used in the link, just write a wiki-link without this template: [[wikipedia:Foo|bar]] (result: bar).
• If you want to create a link to non-English Wikipedia (or another wiki of the Wikimedia Foundation having many language sections), add its language code before the first parameter or after the second one, with a colon.

Examples:

code	result	comment
{{link|de:Artikel}}	de:Artikel	The language code is displayed on the page.
{{link|Artikel|wikipedia:de}}	Artikel	The language code is not displayed on the page.

(The address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Artikel redirects to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artikel.)

• The created link looks like an internal link. If you want the link to look as an external, just write an external link.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo Foo]	Foo
