Template:Special
Usage
[edit]{{Special|Page|Name|Value|Title}}[{{fullurl:Special:Page|Name=Value}} Title].
The link has in essence the same effect as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Page?Name=Value Title].
The default for the optional Title is the localized name of the Page, i.e., {{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}. Examples:
{{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1|Talk}}{{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1}}{{Special|PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}/|stripprefix|1|subpages}}{{Special|Log|user|3=WMFOffice&type=rights|4=official}}
Omitting Name=Value might seem to work, but actually this is not supported, e.g., {{Special|Mypage}}
You can use [[Special:Page|{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}]] where Name=Value is not needed. On Wikipedia the localized name of Mypage is the default MyPage (note camel case), and you can simply write [[Special:Mypage|]]. If a template is also used on Wikis with localized names the longer form with {{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}} might be better. Also see c:, d:, m:, mw:, w:de:.
