This template links to a page on from the Help pages. The template has two parameters:
- Pagename, optionally preceded by an interwiki link prefix valid on mediawiki.org
- (optional) Link description
{{ #ifeq: old.familab.org | www.mediawiki.org | This is so that the public domain help pages - which can be freely copied and included in other sites - have correct links to Mediawiki:
- on external sites, it creates an external link
- on Mediawiki, it creates an internal or interwiki link
All links from the Help namespace to other parts of the mediawiki.org wiki should use this template.}}
Spaces in Page Titles
These must be replaced with underscores, otherwise the urlencoding mangles them and you get a page not found error on mediawiki.org.
So need {{Mediawiki|Page_Title}} not {{Mediawiki|Page Title}}
Demo of interwiki link
{{mediawiki|m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation}} gives either [[m:Help:Calculation|Help:Calculation]] or [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/m%3AHelp%3ACalculation Help:Calculation], rendered as Help:Calculation or Help:Calculation, respectively.
