[[Template:pedia]]
Only 6 redirects if I remember correctly. And your objections were noted, but founded on erroneous assumptions (specifically that I had moved Template:pedia).
It makes a zillion times more sense for Template:pedia to have the text than whatever the hell had it yesterday, or whatever has it today.
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?
