This is a documentation subpage for Template:Delink.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.


This template removes links from wikitext. It de-links wikilinks and URL links, removes HTML comments, and normalises whitespace. It handles most wikitext correctly, including category links, the colon trick, the pipe trick (normal and reverse), nested wikilinks, and invalid link characters.
