Template:Plain
{{{1}}}
Equivalent to <span class="plainlinks">{{{1}}}</span>, which removes the (often unnecessary) "external link"/"new window" icon 
from external links. Similar to {{Plain link}}, but keeps the URL written out.
Usage
{{plain|external link}}
This template may not work properly if a link's URL contains one or more equals signs (=).
Examples
{{Plain|http://example.com}}- http://example.com
{{Plain|https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title{{=}}Equals_sign&oldid{{=}}282228764}}- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764
