Usage

This template does exactly what {{format link}} does, and takes all the same arguments.

This template is intended to lower editor workload when copying links from the URL bar and is not suitable for replacing {{format link}}, because of the changes it makes to {{format link}}'s output that could create ambiguity if automatically replaced.

This template replaces any underscores with spaces and decodes any URL parts in {{format link}}'s output. Some examples of why this may be useful—

{{format link}}

• {{format link|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}

  People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler § Santos_Jr.'s_article

• {{format link|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61nga}}

  %E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98 § M%61nga

{{format linkr}}

• {{format linkr|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}

People of the Philippines v. Santos, Ressa and Rappler § Santos Jr.'s article

• {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61nga}}

未来日記 § Manga

• As shown in these examples, {{format linkr}} also creates a way to use curly braces in links, which requires multiple templates with {{format link}}:
  • {{hlist|{{format linkr|T#%7D}}|{{format linkr|#%7D}}}}

  • T § {{u}}
  • § {{u}}

  • {{hlist|{{format linkr|Template talk:T#%7B%7Bu%7D%7D}}|{{format linkr|#%7B%7Bu%7D%7D}}}}

  • Template talk:T § {{u}}
  • § {{u}}

|nud=

|nud= (no URL decode) can be added to disable URL decoding but still get underscores replaced.

• {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61_nga|nud=y}}

%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98 § M%61 nga

Note that you can achieve this through the HTML5 entity _ just as well:

• {{format linkr|pages%5Fcan’t_contain_underscores#but%5Fsections_may (though their anchors won’t!)}}

pages can’t contain underscores § but sections_may (though their anchors won’t!)
