Description & Usage
Note:The pipe trick can also be used, but it will be less clear that the link goes to Wikipedia. See also: Help:Linking.
This template is a faster way to link to Wikipedia articles. Normally if you want to link to a Wikipedia article such as IMI Desert Eagle, you have to write the entire title twice [[Wikipedia:IMI Desert Eagle|IMI Desert Eagle]]
and it's a hassle. This template skips that step when the displayed text will be the same as the title of the article you are linking to, and it also adds a handy icon to make it clear to the reader that the link goes to Wikipedia, instead of somewhere internal.
To link to another language page of Wikipedia, use: {{Wiki|<lang-prefix>:ARTICLE}}
, see the example below.
