Hi,
I have a template with a very long name and a few subpages, something like Template:Template_with_very_very_very_long_title
, Template:Template_with_very_very_very_long_title/sub1
and Template:Template_with_very_very_very_long_title/sub2
.
Because of the long title, it gets a little cumbersome to transclude the template and its subpages (it is hard to remember the exact phrasing of the long title, etc), so I would like to abbreviate the template using a redirect. I created the new abbreviated Template:Long
with, simply:
#REDIRECT [[Template:Template_with_very_very_very_long_title]]
Transcluding the template is thus much easier, by simply typing {{Long}}
.
The problem, however, is that template subpages do not benefit from the abbreviation, so {{Long/sub1}}
and {{Long/sub2}}
don't work, unless I explicitly create these pages and manually redirect them to the subpages of the original template.
This is a bit odd to me, specially since one could create a Template:Long/sub1
with different content from Template:Template_with_very_very_very_long_title/sub1
.
Is this the expected behaviour of subpages?
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated...
