This template formats a link for use in hatnote templates. It accepts up to three positional parameters, the link, an optional display value, and an optional target override (which if provided, makes the link parameter optional). These parameters may also be supplied by name, as link, display, and target respectively. Links to categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
Usage
[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]Link only:
{{format link|link}}
Link plus display:
{{format link|link|display}}
Link with an italicized page name:
{{format link|link|italicizepage=yes}}
Link with an italicized section name:
{{format link|link|italicizesection=yes}}
If the link or display values contain an equals sign, you will need to specify the parameter names like this:
{{format link|1=link|2=display}}
Link with a target override:
{{format link|link|display|target}}
Link with parameters supplied by name:
{{format link|link=link|display=display|target=target}}
