{{ see also|article }} links talk view	See also: article	Top of article sections

{{ la|article name }} links talk view	Article name (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)	Anywhere on page, not in article namespace
{{ lat|article name }} links talk view	Talk:Article name (edit|article|history|links|watch|logs)	Anywhere on page, not in article namespace
{{ ql|article name|qs=querystring|text }} links talk view	text	Anywhere on page
{{ tpl|link text }} links talk view	This article's talk page.	Wherever you want to link to the standard talk page for the current page.

[edit] Category

What to type	What it makes	Where it goes
{{ catmore }} links talk view	The main article for this category is Template messages/Links.	Category near top, for when an article exists that has the same name as the category.
{{ catmore|articlename }} links talk view	The main article for this category is articlename.	Category near top, for when the main article about a category is not the same as the category name.

{{ lnt|namespace|page name }} links talk view	Namespace talk:Page name (edit|namespace|history|links|watch|logs)	Anywhere on page, not in article namespace
{{ ml | target_page| anchor_name| optional_label }} links talk view	Target page # anchor_name or optional label This template produces a link in internal link style and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearch, which, unlike Special:Whatlinkshere, can restrict the list of source pages to those linking to a specific section of the target page [1]. Therefore it is especially useful for linking to a section or other anchor.	Anywhere on page
{{ mlww | Infobox_templates|Transportation }} links talk view	W:Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#Transportationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#Transportation or W:Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#transporthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Infobox_templates#transport This template produces a link in internal link style to the Wikipedia namespace and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearch, which, unlike Special:Whatlinkshere, shows the full target including a possible anchor [2]. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem using a colon in the search pattern of Linksearch	Anywhere on page
