About

This template and the other related templates listed below produce a series of links for a specified page that is generally, though not always, of the form:

Page (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The six links are:

edit – edit the page;

talk/subject – access its talk page (or if the target page is a talk page, its subject page);

history – access its edit history;

links – access the what links here feature;

watch – add the page to one's watchlist; and

log – access its logs.

The major difference between the templates is the namespace of the page to which it is applied.

• General:
  • [[Template:]]  creates links for any page in any namespace.
  • [[Template:]]  creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
  • [[Template:]]  creates links for pages in any talk namespace.

Usage

Namespace	Link to subject page	Link to talk page
General	{{pagelinks|FULL PAGE NAME}}	Same as for subject page
	{{ln|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}	{{lnt|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}
Article	{{la|ARTICLE}}	{{lat|ARTICLE}}
Template	{{lt|TEMPLATE}}	{{ltt|TEMPLATE}}
AARoads	{{lw|PAGE}}	{{lwt|PAGE}}
User	{{lu|PAGE}}	{{lut|PAGE}}
Category	{{lc|PAGE}}	{{lct|PAGE}}
File	{{lf|FILE}}	{{lft|FILE}}
MediaWiki	{{lm|MESSAGE}}	{{lmt|MESSAGE}}

Examples

Code	Result
{{pagelinks|Category:Example}}	Category:Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
{{pagelinks|Category talk:Example}}	Category talk:Example (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)
{{ln|Category|Example}}	[[:Category:]]
{{lnt|Category|Example}}	[[Category talk:]]
{{la|Example}}	Example (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
{{lat|Example}}	[[Talk:]]
{{lt|Deprecated template}}	[[Template:]]
{{ltt|Deprecated template}}	[[Template talk:]]
{{lu|Example}}	[[User:]]
{{lut|Example}}	[[User talk:]]
{{lw|About}}	[[AARoads:]]
{{lwt|About}}	[[AARoads talk:]]
{{lc|Stubs}}	[[:Category:]]
{{lct|Stubs}}	[[Category talk:]]
{{lm|Common.css}}	[[MediaWiki:]]
{{lmt|Common.css}}	[[MediaWiki talk:]]

{{subst:ln|Category|Stubs}} results (or resulted) in this code:

{{lx|1=:{{ucfirst:Category}}:|2={{ucfirst:Stubs}}|3=:Category talk|4=talk}}

Note the important colon in 1=:, unnecessary (?) for other Lx namespaces.
Substituting both Lx and Ucfirst finally arrived at (line breaks added manually):

 <span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[[:Category:Stubs]] <tt>(</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=edit}} edit]<tt>|</tt>
 [[w::Category talk:Stubs|talk]]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/:Category:Stubs|limit=999}} links]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=history}} history]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=watch}} watch]<tt>)</tt></span>
