[{{{url}}}]
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 icon following the link. 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.
Caution
You can use {{fullurl}}
magicword to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.
Also, this template is not suitable for genuinely external links, since it suppresses displaying the external link small icon (); for external links, use {{URL}}
Examples
{{Plain link|url=https://www.wikipedia.org}}
gives [1]{{Plain link|https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}}
gives Wikipedia{{Plain link|https://www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}}
gives Wikipedia{{Plain link|https://www.google.co.uk|Google}}
gives Google
Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign =
you must use named parameters:
{{Plain link|url=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|name="=" }}
gives "="
Redirects
To be more concise, you can use {{scp}}
or {{plnk}}
and numbers as parameter names, e.g.:
{{scp|1=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}
gives the same "="{{plnk|1=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}
gives the same "="
