The template attribute doesn’t seem to be case-sensitive. <mt:Link template=”javascript” /> and <mt:Link template=”javaScript” /> will both generate a URL to the same template.

I just checked the 4.35 code for this tag. The “identifier” argument is totally ignored. There seems o be a bug.

You can still link by identifier, but you must use the “template” argument. This may not make sense, but looking at the code, it will do what you want.
