Template:For: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:09, 19 March 2025

This template should be used when the need arises to provide a link on a similar or related topic. This is also to help prevent confusion when articles have similar names by providing a manual re-direct link.

It generally takes one unnamed parameter, {{{1}}}, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see {{{1}}}", where {{{1}}} is a link to the referenced article. A second unnamed parameter will replace "more information" and a third will replace the text which refers to the linked article. For example, {{for|St. Crispian's|more on Whereabouts Lane|this St. Crispian's}} produces:

The template is intended to be brief, but additional optional parameters |pre= and |post= allow you to add additional explanatory text at the beginning or end of the displayed text, if necessary. For example, {{for|Emma M. Lion#Family|Emma M. Lion the first|pre="Emma M. Lion" redirects here}} produces:

Usage Examples

Note: The examples below show each parameter separated by a line break. A simple space on either side of the vertical bar (|) will also work. The line breaks are an aid for demonstration purposes.

Parameter	Code	Output
1	When one unnamed parameter is passed, the template will provide a link to the page defined; preceded by the text: "For more information,".
1	{{for\|St. Crispian's}}	For more information, see St. Crispian's.

2	When a second unnamed parameter is passed, it will replace the text "more information" in the output.
2	{{for \|St. Crispian's \|details on Whereabouts Lane }}	For details on Whereabouts Lane, see St. Crispian's.
3	When a third unnamed parameter is passed, it will replace the linked text.
3	{{for \|St. Crispian's#History \|the history of St. Crispian's \|this page}}	For the history of St. Crispian's, see this page.
`pre=`	This is a test of a span description.
`pre=`	{{for\|St. Crispian's\|more on Whereabouts Lane\|St. Crispian's}}	For more on Whereabouts Lane, see St. Crispian's.
`post=`	This is a test of a span description.
`post=`	{{for\|St. Crispian's\|more on Whereabouts Lane\|St. Crispian's}}	For more on Whereabouts Lane, see St. Crispian's.
All	This is a test of a span description.
All	{{for\|St. Crispian's\|more on Whereabouts Lane\|St. Crispian's}}	For more on Whereabouts Lane, see St. Crispian's.

 It generally takes one unnamed parameter, <code>{{{1}}}</code>, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see <code>{{{1}}}</code>", where <code>{{{1}}}</code> is a link to the referenced article. A second unnamed parameter will replace "more information" and a third will replace the text which refers to the linked article. For example, <code><nowiki>{{for|St. Crispian's|more on Whereabouts Lane|this St. Crispian's}}</nowiki></code> produces:
