About
[edit]This template and the other related templates listed below produce a series of links for a specified page that is generally, though not always, of the form:
- Page (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
The six links are:
edit– edit the page;talk/subject– access its talk page (or if the target page is a talk page, its subject page);history– access its edit history;links– access the what links here feature;watch– add the page to one's watchlist; andlog– access its logs.
The major difference between the templates is the namespace of the page to which it is applied.
- General:
- Template:Pagelinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for any page in any namespace.
- Template:Ln (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
- Template:Lnt (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any talk namespace.
