Template:R/doc

This template is used on CZ:Related Articles pages.

Example of use

{{r|Biology}} produces:

• Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]

Adjusting name (variable 2)

The name does not have to be identical to the articles name. This might be useful when the context of the word is not in doubt. For example, on the Biology/Related Articles page it would be better to use the word Cell rather than Cell (biology).

{{r|Cell (biology)}} is seen as:

• Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. ^[e]

{{r|Cell (biology)|Cell}} is seen as:

• Cell [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. ^[e]

Indenting-variable3

The default indentation is a single bullet. This can be overridden using a third variable that contains a different style of indentation. Some examples include:

{{r|Biology}}
{{r|Genetics||**}}
{{r|Zoology||**}}
{{r|Cell (biology)|Cell|::::}}

• Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
  • Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. ^[e]
  • Zoology [r]: The scientific study of animals. ^[e]

Cell [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. ^[e]

Or even numbering could be used.

{{r|Biology}}
{{r|Genetics||:#}}
{{r|Ecology||:#}}
{{r|Zoology||:#}}

• Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]

1. Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. ^[e]
2. Ecology [r]: The study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and how they are affected by the environment. ^[e]
3. Zoology [r]: The scientific study of animals. ^[e]

No article or definition

If used on an entry that does not exist or have a definition (e.g. Foobar),

{{r|Foobar}} produces:

• Foobar [r]: Add brief definition or description .

Notice that there are four links in the above output:

• "Foobar" is a link to a blank article to be titled "Foobar".
• Add definition is a link to start a definition subpage for "Foobar". You would click on that link and write a definition, and save it, and then it would appear here. To learn what to write there, please see CZ:Definitions. Once you have written a definition, this link will disappear and the definition will appear in its place, as you can see above with the definition of "Biology".
• "e" is another link to a (blank) definition page for "Foobar". But this link will not disappear. (See the "Biology" line above again; you can click the blue "e" on that line and from there, edit the definition of "Biology".
• "r" is a link to the Related Articles page for "Foobar". If no such page exists yet, the link will be red.

No article but has a definition

If used on an entry that does not exist but does have a definition:

{{r|Botany}} produces:

• Botany [r]: The study of plants, algae and fungi (mycology). ^[e]

Redirects

If used on an entry that is a redirect, or an article without a metadata template, the link will appear as a purple color.

If used on a redirect that does have a definition:

{{r|Supernova}} produces:

• Supernova [r]: An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object. ^[e]

Or for a redirect without a definition:

{{r|fMRI}} produces:

• FMRI [r]: Add brief definition or description .
