{{search link|search string|link text}}

Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates a link to the Wikipedia search. For example, {{search link|若冲|pages containing the phrase "若冲"}} results in: pages containing the phrase "若冲".

Basics

  • The first unnamed parameter is the word or phrase to search for.
  • The second optional unnamed parameter is the caption for the link.

Examples:

{{search link|search string}} = search string
{{search link|search string|link text}} = link text

Namespaces

By default, search is done only for article namespaces. (Logged in users can change it.) To specify the target namespaces, do either one of:

  • To search all namespaces:
    • {{search link|search string|ns=all}} = search string
    • {{search link|search string|link text|ns=all}} = link text
  • To specify some namespaces, for instance main (article) space and its talk space (ns0 and ns1):
    • {{search link|search string||ns0|ns1}} = search string
    • {{search link|search string|link text|ns0|ns1}} = link text

Note the empty link text parameter in the first example above. That is because the parameters are unnamed. If "ns0" were fed as the second parameter then it would become the link text, not the first namespace to search.

If you want to search several namespaces it can be a bit tricky to get the namespace numbers right. A convenient way is to go to Special:Search and select the namespaces you want there, fill in a search string, and then run the search. Then you can simply copy the namespace list from the URL you get, and feed that list to this template. Say you select the "Wikipedia:" and "Help:" spaces, then you get the namespace list "ns4=1&ns12=1". Then feed it to this template like this:

{{search link|search string| ns = ns4=1&ns12=1 }} = search string
{{search link|search string|link text| ns = ns4=1&ns12=1 }} = link text

Don't forget to use the "ns = " part.

Warnings

The template is only for talk pages, user pages, help pages, portals, etc., and should not be used in regular articles. If {{search link}} is included in an article, it will issue the following warning:
