- {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}} would give you
Main page
- {{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}} Would give you
Main_page
In URLs the latter is better. In google URLs the "_" needs to be "+", so used the string parser {{#replace:{{SUBJECTPAGENAMEE}}|_|+}} to change Main_page
to Main+page

- I think we want the following two searches from the google link buttons, but I can't get them to work... "uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Whatever Page Name" and "Uncyclopedia Whatever Page Name". MrN Fork you! 09:30, Apr 17
- That should be right. Theoretically we could skip lmgtfy and go straight to google, but it's too much fun the other way. The google "link:blah blah blah" search is a little dicey though, so you could do this instead, which would find the instance of the phrase. We could always do this as a catch all. • Puppy's talk page • 09:44 17 Apr
- It's almost right. The last one works fine, but the first does not. It's got "link:http://" on the start of the search and that's not helping. I think we just want it in the form "lmgtfy.com/whatever page Uncuclopedia " Actually probably all we do need is the fist link which we do have now and works. Now you confused me!

Now it should link to:
http://www.google.com/search?q=uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Above_Top_Secret
- Returns uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Above_Top_Secret
And:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Above+Top+Secret%22+Uncyclopedia
- Returns "Above Top Secret" Uncyclopedia
The first will look for the link as text. The second will look for the phrase and/or "Uncyclopedia". Google have changed their search functions do that logical AND and "linkto" are no longer done the same way. The first search will find it if displayed text is the URL, and the second is a broader word search. • Puppy's talk page • 10:40 17 Apr
- I don't know... So difficult to find decent staff around this place. Anyone would think it was voluntary. MrN Fork you! 10:51, Apr 17
