Template:Tag
This "tag" template is useful for categorizing wiki pages,
especially the "categories" section on pages that use Template:Development.
Usage
If a page describes a "delta" machine, it should have {{tag|delta}}
in the categories section.
If a page describes a "Mendel Variations" machine, it should have {{tag|Mendel Variations}}
in the categories section.
If a page describes a laser-cut machine, it should have {{tag|LaserCut}}
in the categories section.
If a page describes a RepStrap, it should have {{tag|RepStrap}}
in the categories section.
A laser-cut Mendel-variation delta RepStrap should have a "categories" line in the Template:Development that looks something like this:
-
|categories = {{tag|Mendel Variations}} {{tag|LaserCut}} {{tag|delta}} {{tag|RepStrap}}
The tags in that "categories" line in, for example, the Rroofl page do two things:
- (a) A reader viewing the "Category: LaserCut" page sees a link to the "Rroofl" page.
- (b) A reader viewing the "Rroofl" page sees a link to the "Category: LaserCut" page.
Alas, there are many pages on this wiki that make one or the other of the following mistakes:
- Wrong: only does (b), fails to do (a):
|categories = [[:Category:Mendel Variations|Mendel Variations]] [[:Category:LaserCut|LaserCut]] [[:Category:RepStrap|RepStrap]]
- Wrong: only does (a), fails to do (b):
|categories = [[Category:Mendel Variations]] [[Category:LaserCut]] [[Category:RepStrap]]
History
Based on http://wikiindex.org/Template:Tag . See http://wikiindex.org/RepRap_wiki for an example of how that wiki uses a nearly identical "tag" template.
