Usage
[edit]This template is used to create a link which, when followed, will start a new section/topic on the specified discussion page. This can be useful when suggesting to a new user that they start a new discussion topic on a particular talk page.
This is done by creating a wikilink to Special:NewSection/Page name (documented here). If no discussion page is specified, following the link will start a new discussion on the current page.
This template may be transcluded or substituted. It is not meant for mainspace articles.
{{New section link|WT:Sandbox|label}} is equivalent to [[Special:NewSection/WT:Sandbox|label]]:
| Example | Equivalent wikitext | Rendered |
|---|---|---|
{{New section link|WT:Sandbox}} | [[Special:NewSection/WT:Sandbox|start a new discussion at WT:Sandbox]] | start a new discussion at WT:Sandbox |
{{New section link|WT:Sandbox|label=other link text}} | [[Special:NewSection/WT:Sandbox|other link text]] | other link text |
