Examples
{{Main}}→{{Main|Article}}→{{Main|Article#Section}}→{{Main|Article#Section|l1=Custom section label}}→{{Main|Article1|Article2|Article3}}→{{Main|Article1|l1=Custom label 1|Article2|l2=Custom label 2}}→{{Main|(15760) 1992 QB1|l1={{mp|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}}}→
Errors
If the name of the first page that you want to link to is not specified, the current page name (with no namespace prefix) is used instead:
No errors can be displayed due to the illegal usage of parameters or other usages (i.e. the first parameter can be omitted, other parameters can be used even if the first one is empty (and automatically filled with the current page name (with no namespace prefix)), equals sign can be used as one of the parameters, and template can be used by direct call to the module (using "#invoke")). This is not the case for {{see also}}, for example.
