Purpose
This helper template can be used to link to translatable pages in the user's language.
It uses the special page prefix Special:MyLanguage/, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.
It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.
Usage
If the "nsp" parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "nsp" parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).
When linking to a section within a page, the section is not displayed in the link text.

}} extension, this template may be used in three ways.
- Substitute this template, then embed the wikilink target in a <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Template:^(tvar name=idTemplate:)^...Template:^(/tvarTemplate:)^</syntaxhighlight>, separate from the translatable text of the link.
- For example: <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Learn more {{Template:^(tvar name=1Template:)^ll|CommunicationTemplate:^(/tvarTemplate:)^|about communication}}.</syntaxhighlight>
- If link text is the same as the name of the target page, all of the code could also be embedded into Template:Tag.
- For example: <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Learn more about Template:^(tvar name=1Template:)^{{ll|Communication}}Template:^(/tvarTemplate:)^.</syntaxhighlight>
- For standalone links, such as in a list or table, translate only the link text if it differs from the name of the target page. This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections. Make sure to include the parameter name when adding translate tags inside template syntax.
- For example:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">* Template:((ll|Project:AboutTemplate:))</syntaxhighlight>
- <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">* Template:((ll|Communication|2=Template:^(translateTemplate:)^About communicationTemplate:^(/translateTemplate:)^Template:))</syntaxhighlight>
