- Purpose of Template:Plain link (edit talk links history)

"] follow the link.
- This template will allow you to create a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) on a page without having the ["
- This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links.
- See Help:URL#URLs on_other Wikimedia projects for more information.
[edit] Caution
You can use [MW magicword] to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.
[edit] Pass parameters
Arguments or 'positional/default pass parameters' are separated by the pipe character in Wiki markup language, so the first default parameter (placeholder is {{{1}}}) is assigned the link url address. The second ( {{{2}}}) is the 'pretty text' for how you want to have it appear.
- '|1=' is the same as '| url = ' (or in wiki template code: {{{1}}} = {{{url}}})
- '|2=' is the same as '|name=' (or in wiki template code: {{{2}}} = {{name}}})
[edit] Examples

{{Plain link|http://www.google.co.uk|Google}}givesGoogle
- compare normal external wiki-link:
