Purpose
</translate>
<translate> This helper template can be used to link to [[<tvar name=1>Special:LanguageStats</tvar>|translatable pages]] in the user's language.</translate>
<translate> It uses the special page prefix <tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/
</tvar>, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.</translate>
<translate> It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.
Usage
</translate> Template:Localized link/doc
<translate>
If "<tvar name=1>nsp
</tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text displays the full pagename (including namespace); otherwise — if "<tvar name=1>nsp
</tvar>" parameter is defined by any value — link text displays the short pagename, without namespace.
