Template:Trainz-redirect templates

Purpose and usage

This page is common boilerplate for redirect templates.

1. To use, transclude the template in a See Also section at page bottom of the documentation.
2. The template will auto-categorize pages it is placed upon to category:Trainz redirect templates unless the parameter inhibit is defined.
   • Use the inhibit mode in /doc pages for any redirect templates using the documentation autocalls system
   • This mode also allows the template to be used directly in redirect pages as an axillary auto-categorizing template. In such cases, if other redirect classed templates are also on the redirect line, they should be before the {{Trainz-redirect templates}} call.

• These templates and their results will be located under the Nodal general auto-Category: Trainz redirect pages.
• It has the control switch parameter 'brief', which when defined presents a tighter shorter list of the same links.

When 'brief' is undefined, the expanded list looks like the below:

---

• Template:R from TRS-alt & Template:R to TRS-alt more easily typed and remembered redirect forms of Template:R from Trainz alternative name below.

 

• Template:R is TRS-title - Pages created from redlinks, with titles worthy of topic coverage all there own. Such redirects add to the To-Do list category: Trainz title name needed. Many such pages should redirect initially to the glossary or Notations appendices with a paragraph explaining the topic, or such other article page or section as provides some basic coverage of the topic.

 

• Template:R to TRS-plurality - Pages redirected to the other singular or plural suffix and in category:Trainz redirects to other plurality.
   • Also Template:R from TRS-plurality (redirect form)

 

• Template:R to TRS-AM&C - Pages relocated to Trainz AM&C division pages.

 

• Template:R_to_TRS-case auto-categorizes Trainz Wikibooks redirect terms into the Category: redirects to Trainz case-name variants.
   • Also Template:R from TRS-case (redirect form)

 

• Template:R to TRS-CC - Lists pages in Category:Redirects to Trainz CC pages which should be exclusively targeting 'Trainz/CC/' prefixed division pages Category:Trainz Content Creation.

 

• Template:R to TRS-ref - Pages relocated to Category:redirects to Trainz reference pages division pages.

 

• Template:R to TRS-sect - for when the redirect is a searchable title, but topic coverage is in the section of a page.

 

• Template:R to TRS-template - Template name aliasing page which redirects to a different template name, and lists it in: Category:Trainz redirect templates

 

• Template:R to TRS-ver - Pages redirecting short colloquial usages for Trainz versions to formally named release page about the product.

 

Invisible templates that may be placed as if a redirect page or on a targeted article page:

• Template:L of TRS-terms, {{List of TRS-terms}} - Auto-categorizes Article or Redirect Pages to Category:Trainz terms

Forms somewhat or wholly depreciated:

• Template:R from Trainz alternative name - for pages which have been given 'better' (more searchable) names or aliased for easing searching. This is used for page aliased names where both are in the Trainz/subpage_name form, or the page is a general knowledge page that does not neatly fall into a book division such as AM&C, references, etcetera, versus target pages where the text is a subpage of those divisions.

 

• Template:R from Trainz - auto-categorized Trainz Wikibooks redirect terms into the auto-Category: redirects from Trainz pages. This was the original redirect template, whose use is now depreciated in favor of the most correct from the above list.

 

• Template:R from Trainz2 - This template is used on redirect pages to eventually be deleted, that were ear-marked as split offs into a separate volume, now figured to be a false start... and gained nothing important but more complexity. Maintenance and redirects Auto-category is Trainz false starts.
