Template talk:For-text

Interwiki
Please, add sl:Predloga:Zapomen2. Thanks a lot. --Eleassar my talk 13:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Done – although the template page itself doesn't appear to be protected, so I've now semi-protected it. Regards, David Kernow (talk) 14:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Linking
Someone want to document the slight fact that the second argument no longer automatically links? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:22, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I'll just use for and strike this one from my cheat list. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * That is strange. I don't even understand why someone would want to use this template rather than For which does exactly the same thing except links automatically.  Nearly five hundred pages use this template; who knows how many of those no one has manually linked.  Oh well.

 * This template can be used to hide the anchor of an anchored link using the pipe trick. This is in accordance with WP:LINKING, but is not possible using any template that automatically links. The fact that this template doesn't automatically link is its great strength. -- EdJogg (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Multiple targets
I've upgraded this to handle up to three pairs of parameters. See documentation, and usage (with two pair) at top of "In popular culture" content. I was also especially nice, and allowed it to handle a third parameter, unpaired with a fourth, as an "and " after, though I didn't bother documenting this, since the same thing can be done by putting both targets in. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  06:55, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * At least in some instances, the linking in now broken completely, e. g. Date format by country. 213.87.133.45 (talk) 21:49, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nope. That's people not reading the template documentation. This template does not auto-link (use for that). This template's format is , not  . I fixed the template call at the article you mentioned.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  21:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Renaming
I'm proposing renaming this template as part of a broader move to rename some hatnote templates for clarity. Please participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Hatnotes. Thanks, {&#123; Nihiltres &#8202;&#124;talk&#8202;&#124;edits}&#125; 22:20, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
