Template:Sclx

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

Inspired by {{tlx}} (template link expanded), this template takes a shortcut, converts it to uppercase, and displays it with brackets in a <code>...</code> tag. If no prefix (e.g. MOS:, H: or WT:) is added, the WP: alias is added.

Parameters

• {{sclx|SHORTCUT}}

The template takes one unnamed parameter, SHORTCUT, that can be any uppercase shortcut. If no prefix is included, the WP: alias is added. If SHORTCUT is entered in lowercase, it will be converted to uppercase.

Usage

• {{sclx|BASIC}} → [[WP:BASIC]]
• {{sclx|gng}} → [[WP:GNG]]
• {{sclx|MOS:ENGVAR}} → [[MOS:ENGVAR]]

Limitations

• Will only work with shortcuts that are uppercase; will not work with mixed case shortcuts, e.g. WP:Source list.
