Template talk:Hurricane season links

Usage
This template is a quick way to include links to adjacent hurricane seasons inside a single season article.

Use as

where


 * is the season's basin ("Atlantic hurricane", "Pacific hurricane", "Pacific typhoon", "Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone", "Northern Indian Ocean tropical cyclone").
 * - are the 5 adjacent years. Thus is the year of the season in the article, while is 2 years earlier and is 2 years later.

Generally this should be used inside infobox hurricane season which has a specific entry for it. In most cases this is done with subst: as this information will never change once written.

Examples
The simples example is

which should be used inside 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Slightly more complicated is

which should be used inside 2004-05 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season.

Discussion
I made this just as a quick way to include the links inside infobox hurricane season for newly-written season infoboxes, and to "upgrade" the old season articles to have consistent boxes. However it's pretty experimental at this point. The main problem is it's not very flexible (any changes to it will basically break all users). However it is much shorter than the current text needed for the 5seasons list, and makes formatting consistent throughout. Jdorje 07:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
