 Template documentation
This formats an example wikilink, to show how it would be entered in wiki markup.  The first parameter is the link destination.  E.g. {{elc|Cookie}} renders as [[Cookie]], the wiki markup for the wikilink Cookie.  If a second parameter is given, a piped link is shows.  E.g. {{elc|Cookie|Biscuit}} renders as [[Cookie|Biscuit]], the markup for the wikilink Biscuit.
A third parameter, if supplied, is included as a suffix to demonstrate blended links; {{elc|Cookie|s}} produces [[Cookie]]s, the wiki markup for Cookies.
The short name {{elc}} ("example link, code") is chosen to be similar to the {{tlc}} template which produces similar output, but for template links.

I have a hard time believing such a template doesn't already exist, but my own searches and asking on the help desk hasn't turned one up, so it's worth creating. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 14:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
