Template:Plain link/doc

This template will allow you to create a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) on a page without having the follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links.

Caution
When you link to a Wikipedia or other Wikimedia project URL, omit the preceeding "http:", or "https:", so that the URL begins with "//". This allows users to use the protocol they're using currently.

You can use magicword to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages..
