Thanks, *jidanni. *The fullurl does work. Is there anyway to specify the anchor tag link text (prefer not to show http://.......)? *{{fullurl:Special:CNTrainSearch|via=Anqing}}* Also it seems the external link looks better. *[http://ChinaTravelGuide.com/ctgwiki/Special:CNTrainSearch?via=Anqing My displayed link text]* ** Appreciate your time.
