Template:Prevnext2: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:36, 3 June 2010

Use this template when you want to provide links to the previous and the next sections of the article so the user isn't forced to go back to the index to navigate.

How to use this template

Write


← previous section
Prevnext2
The next section→

which will be returned as,

← previous section

Prevnext2

The next section→

Optional arguments

The arguments in this template are optional. That is, if there is no previous page to link to, you don't have to include it in the template. You can just write this:



Prevnext2
The next section→

Which would be rendered as:

Prevnext2

The next section→

This works the other way around, too. This:


← previous section
Prevnext2

is rendered as:

← previous section

Prevnext2

Omitting link descriptions

Finally, the link description text doesn't have to be specified, either. The text will default to the name of the article you are linking to. So, the following syntax,


← path/to/lastsection
Prevnext2
path/to/article→

will render as:

← path/to/lastsection

Prevnext2

path/to/article→

This might be useful in some situations. But often it looks ugly, so try to specify link text whenever you can!
