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

This template is used on a large number of pages. In order to prevent unnecessary server load, edits should be kept to a minimum. Please experiment in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own sandbox, and consider discussing your changes on the talk page before applying them. Editing a template causes all pages that use the template to be re-rendered. If the template is used often, this can put a lot of load on the server since it fills up the job queue.

This template adds a set of three links to a page, one to the page, one to its talk page, and one to edit it. They are appear in a small font size, with minimal text.

It is intended to be added to templates, to provide easy access to the template from a page it is transcluded into.

Usage

At the most basic, you will likely only need to place

{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}

onto the template.

If, for whatever reason, you wish to make the links apply to a different page, replace {{subst:PAGENAME}} with the name of the page.

The colour of the links can be changed via the second parameter. For example, to have white links, add

{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|#ffffff}}

The namespace of the linked-to pages can be changed with the third parameter. If not included, it defaults to "Template". Usually you would just need

{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}||{{subst:NAMESPACE}}}}

To change the namespace and colour, place the colour code in the middle:

{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|#ffffff|{{subst:NAMESPACE}}}}
