Refer members of a discussion back to a specific question in the FAQ. Where possible, include a copy of the question itself for easy reference.
Usage
edit{{SeeFAQ|4}}
Generates a link to the FAQ page targeting the question identified by the first parameter. If the corresponding question has been annotated with section tags, it will also be transcluded directly.
Examples
editRefer to a question:
- Please refer to Q2 of the FAQ.
Section 'Q2' not found
Refer to a question that has been tagged with a <section> label
- Please refer to Q3 of the FAQ.
Section 'Q3' not found
Requirements
edit- The FAQ page must actually exist. This means there should be a subpage named
/FAQbelow the root page name. Placing the FAQ below the root page allows references to questions continue to function even after discussions get archived. - [Optional] For deep links, this template expects the format used by {{FAQ row}} when referencing questions. That is to say for a question with the
indexvalue of6in the {{FAQ row}} template, this template creates a link to the FAQ with a reference to the questionQ6. - [Optional] To include copies of the question, the
/FAQpage should have each question (each {{FAQ row}}) wrapped with proper <section> begin and end tags. As above, the labels used for these tags should be of the formQ+index.
Caveats and Quirks
edit- Cannot change the "indent" level of transcluded Q+As. As far as this author knows, there's not a whole lot this template can do to accommodate this need without also forcing a change in the {{FAQ row}} template as well.
- Template should be placed at the end of a line of wikitext. Wikitext that follows this template is always "pushed" down below the template and will appear to be unindented. To continue comments after using this template, just start a new line at the same indent level like so:
Some initial comment ~~(signature)
:Some earlier reply ~~(other signature)
::Your initial comments leading to suggest that OP {{SeeFAQ|x}}
::Your concluding remarks with your signature ~~~~
