Any parameter passed to this template will automatically be linked, unless it is already linked. Specifically, if the parameter includes the string ]], it will not be linked, otherwise it will be. In this latter case, if parameter 2 is supplied, it will be the display value of the link.
If no parameter is passed, nothing will be output.
- Examples
- {{Linked value|Bible}} will be converted to [[Bible]] which will display as Bible.
- {{Linked value|English [[Bible]]}} will be passed straight through (no conversion) and will display as English Bible.
- {{Linked value|Bible|English Bible}} will be converted to [[Bible|English Bible]] and will display as English Bible.
- {{Linked value|}} or {{Linked value}} will display nothing.
This template reduces the need to use the {{2 if 1}} and {{1 of 2}} templates.
There is no value in using this template on an article page. It should only be used within other templates.
