The Template:LAuto/doc/nl documentation page does not exist.
English documentation will be displayed instead, which you can translate using Google Translate (or similar software). If there is nothing after this message, most likely the documentation does not exist even in English.

After page is saved what you see on the left will be replaced by what's shown on the right:

• {{subst:LAuto|Category:test}} = {{ACategory|Test}}
• {{subst:LAuto|:Category:test}} = {{LCategory|Test}}
• {{subst:LAuto|Help:test}} = {{LHelp|Test}}
• {{subst:LAuto|Valve Developer Community:test}} = {{LProject|Test}}
• {{subst:LAuto|test}} = {{L|Test}}
• {{subst:LAuto|Template:test}} = [[Template:test]]

Needed regex to filter out outside links

This regex will replace wikilinks on the current page with subst:LAuto template which after page save will become L* templates (see above, what the substitution does is also visible using the 'Wijzigingen bekijken' button).

This method is usable right in the Help:Editing Toolbar under

1. go to Uitgebreid -> on the right side 'Zoeken en vervangen' (magnifying glass icon) -> check 'De zoektekst als reguliere expressie behandelen' checkbox
2. enter the search/replace text shown lower
3. press 'Alles vervangen'
4. check with 'Wijzigingen bekijken' to see what was changed
5. save the page

Current limitations

• makes the link upper case but is not an issue if it has altname or the altname translation is being added anyway
• if link that should have _ is used _ will be replaced with spaces. Usually commands or entities will face this but those should use {{ent}} and {{cmd}} anyway so shouldn't be too much of an issue
