Template:Cat see also W2c
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Purpose
{{Cat see also W2c}} (redirect form: {Cat see also Commons}) is used for small sets of see also information at the end of text headers on category pages to give cross-links to associated categories from en.wikipedia or antoher sister project to Mediawiki Commons, usually when category schemes either share common nodes, or fork off in different directions.
- 'Clean' Links are presented an auto-pipetricked (nice) form of [[Commons:Category:Category Name|Category Name]].
- If non-English wikipedians create a hard redirect in 'Category:Name In English' to the equivalent in their language, the links should also work interwiki across languages.
- The 'W2' suffix mirrors the interwiki utility template which is work around for naming collisions (differing local usages on {{W}}). Text written using W2 and the related converse is portable across each sister.
[edit] Usage
{{Cat see also W2c:|Category Name_1|optionalCategory Name_2|optionalCategory Name_nn|...|optionalCategory Name_ 40}}
-
- Up to 40 parameters are permitted: only the first is mandatory. All links refer to Commons category names, which is not necessarily the same, and frequently somewhat different than the en.wikipedia category scheme.
- It is also however, frequently identical per efforts at uniformization and work at Meta-wiki.
- This template is particularly useful for tying to image gallaries on a daughter not shared on en.wp.
- The list is dynamically generated so that a "
&" is always placed between the final two entries. - If more than 40 entries are supplied, a message will be displayed pointing out the run-over problem with the occurrence of the 41st.
- Up to 40 parameters are permitted: only the first is mandatory. All links refer to Commons category names, which is not necessarily the same, and frequently somewhat different than the en.wikipedia category scheme.
- Caution
- Bad formatting: no newlines are permitted else the article links will be broken.
[edit] See also
- {{Main}}, to use when you have more than one main article.
- {{MainBold}}, same, but all are bold text.
Note:
{{W2}} may no longer be available on Wikipedia itself.
- {{W2}} — 'Namesake' across sister projects to link to wikipedia in language of choice as if you entered [[W:articlename|articlename]]. (essentially a typing aide which is common to all {{W2|Wikipedia:sister projects|sister projects).
- {{Cat see also}} — model for this template, builds comma delimited list of categories of up to fifteen perameters cross-linking to categories, up, down, or across as needed.
- {{see also W2}} — interwiki version of this template to article space in wherever [[W:Name]] links in your browser default language. (en.wikipedia.org pages for English)
- {{catlst}} More flexible form of simpler Cat see also, allows message variation, HTML command coding, and will also take a parameter to allow use to connect to any sister project's namespaces, in the same compact list form.
- {{Template list}} A similar template to 'catlst', but which defaults to template namespace.
- {{See also}} -- a short form grandfather of those listed above limited to 15 links.
('Se also' has technical problems with specifying ':Category' spelt out, and these alternatives are far more convenient, as you need never spell it out at all!
