Template:Links to/testcases
 | This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Template:Links to. to update the examples. If there are many examples of a complicated template, later ones may break due to limits in MediaWiki; see the HTML comment "NewPP limit report" in the rendered page. You can also use Special:ExpandTemplates to examine the results of template uses. You can test how this page looks in the different skins and parsers with these links: |
Each test says "On behalf of the parent page (namespace:basename, Template:Links to), what links to section X"? There is no section X at Template:Links to, but the query only ever looks for the pattern #X. It relies on the high probability that if a page is found to link "here" and it has also one of my section names, and preceded by a # sign, it probably does.
Required links, or patterns that simulate links, links to on this page to work:
- Template:Links to/sandbox simulates links to mechanism for wikilinks
- {{ Section link|Template:Links to|See also }}
- Template:Links to/doc § See also
- Template:Links to/doc#See also (links to only finds wikilinks, nothing else)
- Template:Links to (links to only finds wikilinks, nothing else)
- Section link Template:Links to Question [../|sublinks]]?
- Section link Template:Links to Question "tick" marks?
- Section link Template:Links to THis has/all/ the issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis has" all the issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis has all the_issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis_has_all_the_issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis has/all the issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis "has" all the issues
- Section link Template:Links to THis "has"/all the_issues
Before lumping in ELs with WLs, EL's took 10 or more related searches:
- Brackets and linking and labeling are ignored to limit the number of searches that would otherwise have to be done. The EL patters are not necessarily links, but are ELs with the section name of interest that need further investigation.
{{ Localurland{{ anchorencodeare used in tandem with SERVER.https:{{fullurlorhttps:{{SERVERcould be used instead of[{{fullurlor[{{SERVER- The colon : character is part of an atomic term in canonicalurl:namespace or fullurl:namespace constructs
{{ fullurlcould be proceeded by https: to create a link.
Lumping WLs and ELs together, the search parameter linksto is not used for WLs. Rather if the page has the fullpagename and section of interest in proximity, and the section has a # sign in front of it (basically), that's a go; it needs investigating concerning the section-name change even if it is not a link.

Sandbox version[edit]
Via {{Section link}}: success means this page shows up in the search link.
Via [[fullpagename#section name]]:
Success means that the search link highlights the match corresponds to the simulated section link.
The number signs (that make the ordered list) satisfy the regexp that simulates linksto mechanism.
Main template[edit]
Links to template has two parts:
- linksto part links to a fullpagename, in this case Template:Links to.
- regex part links to the following patterns (# char required).
Via {{Section link}}: success means this page shows up in the search link
Via wikilink: The number signs (that make the ordered list) satisfy the regexp.
Together the above link to the basepagename plus the pattern, simulate the success mechanism. Success means activating the search link and seeing corresponding, highlighted, pattern match.
