#REDIRECT [[Template:Link/Desc/Doc]]
+
This template is used to create a link to a page.
 +
 
 +
It's purpose is very similar to creating links with double square brackets.
 +
 
 +
The benefit of using <code>{{((}}link|</code> is that if a description is not provided
 +
the link defaults to the description the page provides by using [[Template:desc]], etc.
 +
 
 +
Just like with double square brackets, if you have preferred text for the link, you can provide it.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
For illustration, suppose we have two pages:
 +
* "[[Demo/Page with description]]" uses [[Template:desc]] to define a description.
 +
* "[[Demo/Page without description]]" doesn't use [[Template:desc]] and doesn't have a description.
 +
 
 +
{{demo table|
 +
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{link|Demo/Page with description}}</nowiki>|<!--
 +
-->{{link|Demo/Page with description}} }}
 +
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{link|Demo/Page without description}}</nowiki>|<!--
 +
-->{{link|Demo/Page without description}} }}
 +
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{link|Demo/Page with description|this page}}</nowiki>|<!--
 +
-->{{link|Demo/Page with description|this page}} }}
 +
{{demo row|<nowiki>{{link|Demo/Page without description|this page}}</nowiki>|<!--
 +
-->{{link|Demo/Page without description|this page}} }}
 +
}}
 +
 
 +
Here's how it would work if you had used square brackets instead:
 +
{{demo table|
 +
{{demo row|[[Demo/Page with description]]}}
 +
{{demo row|[[Demo/Page without description]]}}
 +
{{demo row|[[Demo/Page with description|this page]]}}
 +
{{demo row|[[Demo/Page without description|this page]]}}
 +
}}
 +
The difference is only in the first case.
