Template:Links to/testcases
| 42px | This is the template test cases page for the sandbox of Template:Links to. Script error: No such module "Purge". 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 with these links: |
Each test says "On behalf of the parent page (namespace:basename, Template:Linksto), what links to section X"? There is no section X at Template:Linksto, 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, linksto on this page to work:
- Template:Links to/sandbox simulates linksto mechanism for wikilinks
- {{Section link|Template:Linksto|Purposes}} (for testing purposes:)
- Script error: No such module "Section link".
- Template:Links to/doc#Purpose (linksto only finds wikilinks, nothing else)
- Template:Links to (linksto only finds wikilinks, nothing else)
- Section link Template:Linksto Question [../|sublinks]]?
- Section link Template:Linksto Question "tick" marks?
- Section link Template:Linksto THis has/all/ the issues
- Section link Template:Linksto THis has" all the issues
- Section link Template:Linksto THis has all the_issues

- Section link Template:Linksto THis has/all the issues

Sandbox version
Via {{Section link}}: success means this page shows up in the search link.
- Template:Links to/doc#Purpose: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- Template:Links to#Purposes: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain 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
Linksto 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
- Template:Links to/doc#Purpose: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- Template:Links to#Purposes: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
Via wikilink: The number signs (that make the ordered list) satisfy the regexp.
- THis "has"/all the_issues Template:Links to#THis "has"/all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- THis "has" all the issues Template:Links to#THis "has" all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- THis has/all the issues Template:Links to#THis has/all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- THis_has_all_the_issues Template:Links to#THis has all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- THis has all the_issues Template:Links to#THis has all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- THis has" all the issues Template:Links to#THis has" all the issues: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link

- Question "tick" marks? Template:Links to#Question "tick" marks?: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
- Question [../|sublinks]]? Template:Links to#Question [../|sublinks]]?: Template:Plain link · Template:Plain link
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.
