Purpose
This template adds a return link to the base page on subpages where it normally doesn't appear. This is typically for pages in the main namespace. The MediaWiki software doesn't recognize subpages in this namespace. This is because there are some things that legitimately have a forward slash in their names.
Usage
To use this template, simply type: {{BasePageLink|Base Page |Alternative Text (Optional) }}
- Base Page — The target base page. This is normally not needed as the template will automatically determine the base page, provided the subpage is properly named. But if for whatever reason it doesn't link to the correct page, the correct page can be specified with this parameter.
- Alternative Text — Alternative text can be specified for the link, like in a pipe link, but in this case the "Base Page" parameter must be entered.
