Template:Plain link
[{{{url}}}]
This template will allow you to create a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) on a page without having the external link icon following the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See w:Help:URL#URLs on other Wikimedia projects for more information.

Caution[edit]
You can use {{fullurl}}
magicword to generate URLs to pages.
Also, this template is not suitable for genuinely external links, since it suppresses displaying the external link small icon (external link icon); for external links, use {{URL}}
