Template talk:Lopbn L1 typical link

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Development history

  1. That version handled the two kinds of "typical" LoPbN lks, namely lks to a page covering names beginning with a specific prefix, and those to one covering a range (more specifically, a range from those beginning with one prefix thru those beginning with another). Its basic job was to avoid misspelling or mispunctuating either the file name or the "piping" (rendering-spec) in these two common cases.
  2. The new version, just installed, takes on a different kind of task, that fits well into the implemenation of the original. Occasionally higher level templates find it convenient to express a specific prefix as a range starting and ending with the same prefix. Neither the filenames nor courtesy to users would be compatible with it, except that this template now checks its input & translates.
