This template, and other related templates listed below, produce a series of links for a particular page, generally in the form: Name of Page (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) though there are variations.

The six links are explained below:

edit – edit the page;

talk – access its talk page ;

history – access its edit history;

links – access the what links here feature;

watch – add the page to one's watchlist; and

log – access its logs.

The major difference between the templates is the namespace of the page to which it is applied.

• General:
  • Template:Pagelinks creates links for any page in any namespace.
  • Template:Lt creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
  • Template:Lt creates links for pages in any talk namespace.
  • Template:Lt and Template:Lt create links for pages in Category namespace.

[edit] Usage

[edit] Examples

{{subst:ln|Category|Stubs}} results (or resulted) in this code:

{{lx|1=:{{ucfirst:Category}}:|2={{ucfirst:Stubs}}|3=:Category talk|4=talk}}

Note the important colon in 1=:, unnecessary (?) for other Lx namespaces.
Substituting both Lx and Ucfirst finally arrived at (line breaks added manually):

 <span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[[:Category:Stubs]] <tt>(</tt>
