 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Preloaddraft. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template is for creating a draft with preloaded text defined at some other page. It may be useful for redlink lists for editathons which often have a high proportion of inexperienced editors creating new pages (see example in action at WP:Meetup/SCAR_2016#To_create). Having an appropriate skeleton draft text preloaded onto the new page can help make formatting easier.
{{preloaddraft
|1 = Draft page to create
|2 = Subpage with text to be preloaded (should be subpage of Template:preloaddraft/...)
}}
Any time the formal parameter $1 appears in the text of page with text to be preloaded, it is replaced with name of the draft to create.
Examples
If the page already exists
{{preloaddraft|Example|draft_template_example}} simply links to that page "Example" (Example )
If a draft for the page already exists
{{preloaddraft|Exampledraft|draft_template_example}} will link to the existing "Draft:Exampledraft" page (Draft:Exampledraft )
If a draft for the page doesn't yet exist
{{preloaddraft|Alex Redlink|draft_template_example}} will create the page "Draft:Alex_Redlink" with preloaded text from "Template:Preloaddraft/draft_template_example" ( ). Any time the formal parameter $1 appears in the text of the preloaded text (Template:Preloaddraft/draft_template_example), it is replaced with the name of the draft page ("Alex Redlink"). Articles are added to Category:Created via preloaddraft to track them.
If another page of the same name, or disambiguation page already exists
{{preloaddraft|Example|draft_template_example|disambig=true}} will still create a new page with the occupation in brackets if the |disambig=true parameter is used ((disambig) )
If page is "INSERT NAME HERE"
{{preloaddraft|INSERT NAME HERE|draft_template_example}} will not include anything ( ) so that the template wikimarkup can be included invisibly at the bottom of lists.
Limitations
There is currently a limitation of 250 copies of this template per page. After that number, subsequent occurrences of the template default to red links.
