Template:Newsection&action=edit&section=new

Purpose

Use to invite the reader to add a new section to the page. This is equivalent to the feature only available on talk pages, shown by the + sign next to the discussion tab.

Using this template, with the {{NAMESPACE}} & {{PAGENAME}} terms rather than entering the actual full pagename, means that it will not break if the page is moved.

How to use

You must add the double square brackets and pipe text yourself! It is designed this way to enable the link text to be adapted to each use.

E.g.

[[{{newsection}}|new section]]

displays as:

new section

Comments

It will always display as a redlink. Is this a problem? Or should we change to using a full url version? If so, the basic idea is this:

http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title={{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}%26action%3Dedit%26section%3Dnew&action=edit

But note that this will not work unless the equivalents of {{NAMESPACE}} & {{PAGENAME}} are used which convert spaces to underscores. (Don't have time to look - I'll leave it to anyone who wants to try it. But don't forget to check "what links here" and change the format of existing occurrences of the template.) --Chriswaterguy 16:51, 2 June 2008 (PDT)
