Template talk:Link

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Link is permanently protected from editing, as it is a heavily used or visible template. Substantial changes should be proposed here, and made by administrators if the proposal is uncontroversial, or has been discussed and is supported by consensus. Use {{editprotected}} to attract the attention of an administrator in such cases. This template does not have a documentation subpage. If the template page contains categories, interwiki links or usage notes, move these to Template:Link/doc. If the template does not require documentation, add |doc=no to this template ({{permprot}}).

[edit] Template usage/help

{{editprotected}}

I have noticed that the template is protected, but does not have the "protected" template on it, nor any description as to how the template is used. Please update it. (I guess it would be fine to add it on the talk page) Regards, G.A.S 15:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I am unsure as to why this template is here.

This template is not currently in use.

This might be legacy code? (As the case is with Template:Wikilink)

In which case it will need Template:Tdeprecated

I'm not entirely sure why the template is here either; however, it seems to be used. It would seem to be for people who can't remember the [link displaytext] notation. If you want it deprecated/deleted, you could try starting a TfD on the template. --ais523 16:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. (I searched for "what links here" from the talk page, sorry for that.) Thanks for that. - G.A.S 16:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It seems that this template is used by Template:Harvrefcol, Template:Citation/core, Template:Citation/core/testing, Template:Citation/patent, et al. Thus it isn't for general use. - G.A.S 17:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

This information really doesn't belong on the talk page. This template should have a documentation page located at Template:Link/doc. — Cuyler91093 - Contributions 05:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
