Forum: The Situation Room > Navigation templates and whatlinkshere



The look cool, but as has been said elsewhere completely ruin the whatlinkshere tool on any page they're employed on, just listing every other page in the same category. After enquiring on community central, it seems that mediawiki can't distinguish at all between links that are contained within transcluded templates and normal ones on the page. So, I'm proposing the only solution I can see - set up redirects on all pages that are linked in the templates, eg. [[Jack Bauer templatelink]] and, within the templates only, use these redirects. This would separate out the non-links in the template from actual links. I am prepared to do this work if no-one has objections, and as it would only be used on those templates wouldn't affect general editing practices to maintain it.--Acer4666 (talk) 22:23, June 10, 2013 (UTC)
