This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason.

This template is used on many pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Module:PageLinks

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:

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:Pagelinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for any page in any namespace.
- Template:Lt creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
- Template:Lt creates links for pages in any talk namespace.

{{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>
 [[:Category talk:Stubs|talk]]<tt>|</tt>
