[[Template:pedia]]
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
Aliases exist at short (easy to type) and memorable titles precisely to allow the actual guts of templates to be located at more fully-descriptive and/or logical pattern-fitting names without inconveniencing editors. In this case, the guts were moved from one place to another, but you can still type {{pedia}}
as always...
Well, I've been wondering about this. Since these templates are really meant to be invoked through {{projectlink}}
, would it be beneficial to either (or both):
- Make
{{pedia}}
invoke{{projectlink}}
with the appropriate parameters? - Create shortcuts for both
{{projectlink}}
and some of the parameters it accepts, so that{{projectlink|Wikipedia}}
can be shortened to{{plink|w}}
?
If we go for option 2, then it's not appreciably longer than typing {{pedia}}
, and we could opt to get rid of it after a while. What do you think?
