An enhancement of ((oldid)) which does not need the page title to be specified (since there are no oldid conflicts between pages) and which also allows linking to a specific section in the page.
Typical usage:
Code | Output |
---|---|
((oldid2|123456789|External links|Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School")) | Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School" |
((oldid2|123456789)) | [2] |
((oldid2|123456789|Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School")) | Pgp688's version of "Boston Latin School" |
((oldid2|123456789|External links|)) | [3] |
Note that if the third parameter is used, even if empty, the 2nd specifies the section of the page, instead, and the 3rd specifies the link text.
