Template talk:R to list entry

message: It appears that in the last edit or two, :Category:Redirects to list entries was placed within noinclude tags.  This effectively removed all such redirects from the category, which is an undesirable result.  I've placed this category outside the noinclude tags and added   inside the noinclude tags.  This might result in two instances of this particular template in that category, one of which was the intended one at the top of the category.  Hope this change sits well with all users/editors of this template.  Regards --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Please replace the code with the following:
----
This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.

This template automatically categorizes pages to :Category:Redirects to list entries.

thread_title: Proposed changes to simplify and refer

message: Is there any good reason to have a Further template that links right back to this redirect template?  I've never seen this done before, so if there is no good reason for it, then please omit it. – PIE ( CLIMAX )  22:56, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It probably exists so the redirects this template is used on have a link to the template documentation. Or would, if  were ever to be fixed. Anomie⚔ 01:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that makes good sense, although most of these templates refer the editor back to the cat itself rather than back to the categorizing template.  At least the link should show up on the Diff pages.  Thank you very much, Anomie! – PIE ( CLIMAX )  02:29, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Further template  

message: Some time ago with this edit the non-breaking space was removed from the TOP of the code with no explanation as to why.  The Nbsp is needed to furnish a carriage return and ensure that the text of this Rcat begins on the next line after any previous Rcat's text on a redirect.  Yes, it's true that text does not yet appear on active redirects; however, it does appear and is often helpful when a redirect is deactivated for Rfd.  To compare, this page shows how it looks at present, and this modified page shows how it should appear.  Please restore the non-breaking space to the TOP of the code:
:modify this...

----
This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.

:to this...
 
----
This is a redirect to a list in which the subject is an entry.

:  (I checked all of the most-used Rcats in the short index and all that are formatted like this one still have the Nbsp.)  Thank you in advance for your consideration! – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 02:52, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  TOP Nbsp 

message: Now that  exists, the following should be added to this template to avoid confusion:
**If this is a redirect from a topic to a list related to that topic, not to a specific entry on a larger list, then instead of this rcat, tag this redirect with .

replies: text: First, could someone explain why  doesn't do the same job as the new ? – Paine  22:04, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the opposite,  is going from a narrower subject to a wider one while  is going wide to narrow.  would be something like Bluebird→Bird, where  is going from Bird→List of birds. If anything,  is closer to  than  is. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 22:44, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ping Pigsonthewing – It's the opposite?  Then a further concern would be:  Why create a category and rcat for one entry, , when an existing category,  with 166 entries, is sufficient to sort a wider-to-narrower topic?  I can see the need if there were several more than one entry specific to lists, so do you know of any others besides the single entry in this new category?  (I have pinged the creator of the category and rcat to see if more light can be shed on this.) – Paine  06:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Template-protected edit request on 11 May 2015 

message: Hi, User:Ceyockey (the one who wrote the following wikitext from  ) & all y'all!
Under the header Template:R to list entry#TemplateData for R to list entry, it says:
See the full documentation at :Template:R_to_list_entry/doc for more details.
Unlike on this page where I had to use the pre tags, the colon and that link itself are showing up as wikitext instead of a rendered wikilink.
Is there usually a reason why wikitext needs to be like this in the TemplateData section? Or was it an error? TIA for educating me and please leave it or fix it in whatever way is best. Thanks!
