Template:Discussion interlink

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

The {{Discussion interlink}} template is for use in providing a prominent display of hyperlinked discussion that is relevant to the discussion taking place where the template is transcluded. It is intended for use on Requests for comment but can be used in other situations.

Usage

{{Discussion interlink}} or its alias {{DIL}} may be used interchangeably, to identical ends. It can be embedded or transcluded at any time and will not produce output until at least one discussion is linked. The template accommodates up to five double-bracket wikilinks and/or up to five URL links.

• Wikilinks are added without brackets using |1= thru |5= or the first five unnamed parameters.
• URL links are added without brackets using |L1= thru |L5=.
• Using |T= with any value changes the background color to the tan color normally used on talk pages (see example below).
