Template:No self link/doc

This template normally creates a link to a page, but omits the link brackets if it is the page itself. Such a self link would otherwise cause bold text.

This template can be used in another template which links to a page where it is transcluded. This template is not recommended in navigation templates where many readers will expect to see the bold text caused by self links.

Usage

 * First parameter is the page name.
 * Second parameter is optional to specify different link text.

Examples

 * will produce Five pillars on any page except on Five pillars itself where it would produce the unlinked and unbolded text "Wikipedia:Five pillars". (The code  would have produced the bold Wikipedia:Five pillars on that page).
 * will produce a piped link displaying The five pillars on any page except on Five pillars itself where it would produce the unlinked and unbolded text "The five pillars". (The code  would have produced the bold The five pillars on that page).
