Template:T links/doc

This template provides a list of links to a template. There are no restricted links (such as adding protection to the template). A link to a related module can be added.

Usage

• ​{{t links|infobox building}}​ →
  {{Infobox building}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test)

• ​{{t links|infobox building|sandboxlinks=yes}}​ →
  infobox building (/sbox edit diff /test | Source e Talk hist links # /subpages /doc)

(same effect:)

• ​{{t links|infobox building/sandbox}}​ →
  infobox building (/sbox edit diff /test | Source e Talk hist links # /subpages /doc)

Options

Adding link to a module

When an eponymous module exists, it is added:

• {{T links|Track gauge}} →

{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) ·Module:Track gauge

• Any other module (or none) can be linked:

• {{T links|Track gauge}} →

{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) ·Module:string

• ​{{T links|Track gauge|module=}}​ →

{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) (blank so not linked)

Adding sandbox links

When working with the ../sandbox of templates, the sandbox links can be made explicit:

• ​{{T links|Track gauge|sandboxlinks=yes}}​ →

Track gauge (/sbox edit diff /test | Source e Talk hist links # /subpages /doc)

This can also help to prevent changing the live version code by accident.

Adding the WP:TPU-link

• ​{{T links|Track gauge|tpu=yes}}​ →

{{Track gauge}} (edit talk history links # /subpages /doc /doc edit /sbox /sbox diff /test) TPU

• {{T links/sandbox links}} used when adding, eg by |sandboxlinks=yes
• {{m links}}, a similar template producing module-related links.
