Creates a link to a named module (or nothing at all if there's no specified pagename)

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Category:Deprecated M – if the specified module does not exist, because it assumes the name may be that of a template. But may indicate that the module no longer exists.

Usage

{{M |1= }}

This was previously used also to create a link to a template with that same name (and so it was redirected as an shortcut or alias of template:T). This habit used mainly by French users, familiar with modèle:{{Modèle}}, is now deprecated, please use template:{{T}} instead.
