The VTE template invokes the {{navbar}} template with the parameter
|mini= set to 1, thus linking to a template that gives direct access to the template's pages. Based on whether {{v}} or {{view}} is used, it renders as and as respectively. There are more configurable options to hide or add more links to both of these:
Usage
Copyable empty examples. The {{subst:PAGENAME}} will be substituted with the template's name when parsed by the servers.
{{v|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|m|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{v|t|e|h|m|w|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
Which produces:
The same type of template only for the full text "view" style:
{{view|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|move|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
{{view|talk|edit|hist|move|watch|template={{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
Adding option |d (for "discuss") equals adding |t, adding a t link (for "talk").[clarification needed]
