| :'''Note''': The {{tl|wp sup}} template is arguably better for this purpose as it avoids some problems with linking to articles with names different to the displayed text ("WP" doesn't allow piping); and it also fits in better with punctuation, e.g. it can go after a comma or period. Should we deprecate WP? Move "wp sup" to "wp"/"WP" and update all the old uses of "WP" to the new format? | | <big><big>Page Viewing and Editing Disabled</big></big> |

|
| ----
| | As you may know, Appropedia has been going slow recently. We are about to fix this, but editing pages must be disabled temporaily to complete this delicate operation. |
| ==Usage==
| |
| Use this template to link text to Wikipedia, in a more elegant way than using the ''wikipedia:'' prefix.
| |
|
| |
|
| It works in a similar way to a piped wikilink.
| | See [http://www.youareanidiot.org www.mediawiki.co.uk/techsupport/appropedia] for more information. |
|
| |
|
| E.g.:
| | ---- |
| :<nowiki>{{WP|Jock Brandis}} developed the {{WP|Malian peanut sheller}}.</nowiki>
| | ''The Appropedia Development team'' |
| creates:
| |
| :{{WP|Jock Brandis}} developed the {{WP|Malian peanut sheller}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Changing the display text==
| |
| | |
| If the Wikipedia article title is '''Peter Newman (Australian)''' but you want it to display as {{WP p|Peter Newman (Australian)|Newman P}}, then use the optional second parameter: <nowiki>{{WP|Peter Newman (Australian)|Newman P}}</nowiki> will display as {{WP|Peter Newman (Australian)|Newman P}}. [[Template:WP p]] is deprecated in favor of using the optional second parameter in this template.
| |
| | |
| == Bug(s) ==
| |
| | |
| *Unlike normal wiki linking, you cannot add letters at the end of the word, e.g. to make it plural. E.g. normally '''<nowiki>[[Blog]]s</nowiki>''' creates '''[[Blog]]s''', but '''<nowiki>{{WP|Blog}}s</nowiki>''' creates '''{{WP|Blog}}s''' i.e. a mess. Use the second parameter if you want the word to display differently than in the link.
| |
| *Currently doesn't allow piping (but it should be doable to create another template to do this).
| |
| | |
| == Unresolved questions ==
| |
| | |
| *should we use <nowiki><tt></nowiki> (teletype text?) to subtly mark the link text (making it clear whether it's the last word that's linked, or the last 2 or more words)?
| |
| *should we use <nowiki><small></nowiki> for the "WP"? E.g. "<tt>Jock Brandis [[Wikipedia:Jock Brandis|<small>(WP)</small>]]</tt> developed..." If so, it seems a bit too small for some readers perhaps, and thus confusing; if left as normal size it's a little intrusive perhaps, but quite clear.
