Template:Clangloss

[[Glossary of Clan Terms#{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The {{clangloss}} template is used to create links from a word or phrase to corresponding entries in the Glossary of Clan Terms article. Example: Abtakha. It makes proper use of the <dfn> HTML element (as documented at the parent meta-template, Template:glossary link). The {{glossary link internal}} variant, which does not use that markup (it is reserved for term entries), is usually used only inside the glossary itself, for cross-references to other entries within it, though it can also be used in other articles where the same term is linked twice because of article length (<dfn> should only be used once per term per page, as it means "this is the defining instance of this term on this page").

Usage

Syntax: From an article to the glossary:

• {{clangloss|term in glossary|text in article}}

If the text being linked matches the name of (or an anchor present at) the glossary entry, regardless of upper or lower case, you can simply do:

• {{clangloss|text in article that is a term in glossary}}

It will also handle suffixes like plurals, etc., added onto it:

• {{clangloss|text in article that is a term in glossary}}ized

or (in Glossary of Clan Terms itself, or for duplicate links in same article):

• {{glossary link internal|term in glossary|text in article}}

This template makes it very simple to add links, in article prose, talk pages, etc., to entries in the Glossary of Clan Terms, a stand-alone glossary list article. It takes one or two parameters, depending on needs, as detailed below.

Examples

{{Clangloss|Batchall}}s are what clans do in order to start a battle.

Result:

Batchalls are what clans do in order to start a battle.
