Template:AutoLink
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. Please do not alter it unless you are certain to understand its setup and parser functions and are ready to repair/revert all collateral damage if results are unexpected. Any experiments should be conducted and all improvements tested in the template sandbox, or in your user space, before applying anything here. |
To use this template, put {{AutoLink|target|word}} (if there is no word parameter, then the template will function in the same way as if it were the target). If the link location exists a link will be created, if not it will not. This template exists to avoid redlinks being created. If the page is created, the link will be formed.
This template also exists to allow templates to accept either plain text or wikitext for parameters, automatically linkifying the value if it is plain text, and an article exists there. (see Infobox Australian Place)
This template should not be used in the mainspace, as red links are good.
