Template:Link/Create+Desc/Doc

From PCSAR

The template {{Link/Create+Desc|Page|Text|Desc=description|Preload=boilerplate|Editintro=intro}} is used to create a link to a page.

Page 

the page to link to

Text 

(optional) the text to display as the link

Desc 

(optional) the text to display as the link if the page does not description and Text is not supplied. There is no point to specifying both Text and Desc.

Preload 

(optional) When Page does not exist, following the link will create it with the page boilerplate already loaded into the editor.

Editintro 

(optional) When Page does not exist, following the link will display the page intro before the edit window rather than the normal instructions

This template supports the functionality of {{Link/Desc}}. On top of that, rather than just dumping you into a blank editor if you follow a link to a page that hasn't been created yet, Preload can be used to give the editor some initial boilerplate text. As well, Editintro can be used to give some specific instructions on how to change the boilerplate.

For illustration purpose, the following demonstration pages have been set up:

• "Demo/Does not exist" is a page that hasn't been created.
• "Demo/Boilerplate" is boilerplate text that we want to have loaded into our editor.
• "Demo/Editintro" are the instructions we want to see when we start creating the page.

{{Link/Create+Desc|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}} 

{{Link/Create+Desc|Demo/Does not exist|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}} 

{{Link/Create+Desc|Demo/Does not exist|Editintro=Demo/Editintro}} 

{{Link/Create+Desc|Demo/Does not exist|this page|Preload=Demo/Boilerplate}}
