Template to use for links to main namespace pages on non-English articles. Will also have link to English version of the page next to it in parentheses.

Parameters:

• {{{1}}} - page to link
• {{{2}}} - alt name
• {{{lang}}} - to choose a language manually. Use this in namespaces that don't use language prefix. (i.e NOT main, Valve Developer Community, Help or Category namespace). As Template:L is not meant to be used on English pages this param also serves as a way to error check yourself and be sure where exactly you are linking.

Important:Don't use on English pages or templates that would transclude this on an English page. Will not work properly there and is not supposed to avoid any extra unnecessary checks as this template should remain as light as possible. If transclusion to an English page is needed use more expensive version of this template {{Lx}} which also automatically checks for namespace to place the prefix in proper place.

{{L|Targetname}} while on pages starting with Zh/ prefix
becomes:
[[Zh/Targetname|Targetname]]

{{L|Targetname|Name}} while on pages starting with Zh/ prefix
becomes:
[[Zh/Targetname|Name]]

{{L|some Page#subsection|altlink}} while on pages starting with Ru/ prefix
becomes:
[[Ru/Some Page#subsection|altlink]]

{{L|logic_auto}} while on pages starting with Ru/ prefix
becomes:
[[Ru/Logic_auto|logic_auto]]
