Template:Wlc
Documentation
This page is a template. It contains some standardized, often used text, which can be transcluded inside other pages. As this template is widely used in our wiki, it may be protected in which case only staff members can change it. Use the discussion page to propose enhancements or fixes, or to voice your opinion.
This template provides a convenient way of referring to the wiki markup necessary to create a wikilink — i.e., the [[double-brackets]] syntax — without having to use a <nowiki> element or HTML entities like [ to suppress parsing of the link.
While such "fake" wikilinks are useful in help pages or on talk pages, they should not appear in articles (in the main namespace).
The resulting text is displayed using a <code> element. Variations on this, provided by similar templates, are listed below.
The name of this template is based on the fact that it displays the markup necessary to make a Wikilink, shown as code.
