User:MIDI/Draft
[[{{{1}}}]] ({{{desc}}}) ([[User:MIDI/Drafts/{{{1}}}|DRAFT]])
Usage
[edit]This template provides an easy and standardized way to link to user draft articles.
{{User:MIDI/Draft|article|desc=|icon=|published=}}
It requires one unnamed parameter:
- the article to be listed
It accepts three named parameters:
- desc: a description of the article (similar to WP:SHORTDESC)
- icon: the option to include a small icon (such as for DYK nominations, redirects) with an appropriate automatic wikilink
- published: a required field to determine whether or not the article is live in the mainspace.
Example
[edit]*{{User:MIDI/Draft|Grand Union Canal|desc=major canal in the UK|icon=DYK|published=1}}
will display as:
Grand Union Canal (major canal in the UK)
*{{User:MIDI/Draft|Buscot Wharf Canal|desc=minor canal arm off the [[River Thames]]|icon=|published=}}
will display as:
- Buscot Wharf Canal (minor canal arm off the River Thames) (DRAFT)
Spaces should not be introduced between parameters as to avoid syntax errors.
Notes
[edit]#ifeq: {{{icon}}} | DYK | [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px|link=Template:Did you know nominations/{{{1}}}]]
If the icon parameter is "DYK", the Did you know icon will show () with a link to the article's archived DYK nomination page
#ifeq: {{{icon}}} | DYKnom | [[File:Symbol question orange.png|16px|link=Template:Did you know nominations/{{{1}}}]]
If the icon parameter is "DYKnom", an orange Did you know icon will show (
) with a link to the article's active DYK nomination page
#ifeq: {{{icon}}} | RDR | {{No redirect|{{{1}}}|{{icon|redirect}}}}
If the icon parameter is "RDR", a redirect icon will show (
) with a link to the existing redirect page
#if: {{{published|}}} | <s> [...] #if: {{{published|}}} |</s>
If the published parameter is not blank (i.e. the article has been published), the list item is struck out
[[{{{1}}}]] ({{{desc}}})
The first parameter (unnamed) is the article name, which will be linked followed by the value of the desc (description) parameter
#if: {{{published|}}}| | ('''[[User:MIDI/Drafts/{{{1}}}|DRAFT]]''')
If the published parameter is blank (i.e. the article has not been published), a link to the draft article will display (even as a redlink if none yet exists)
