	Romw314, I reverted your edit because apk template does not allow a display string different from the package being linked to, the apk command as written int the article {{ic\|# apk add plasma}} is correct; the actual package name though is {{pkg\|plasma-desktop-meta\|arch=}}. It might be possible to change the command to the latter in order to have the display string and the package name match though... Will look into it shortly.
