Revision as of 07:45, 16 August 2007

What's the best way to reference a command like this one:

  • /++up

If I feed that in with {{slashcommand|++up}} I get a link to an article named "++up (Slash Command)" when I should really be linking to an article named "Up (Slash Command)."

There are three solutions that come to my mind:

  1. I could go ahead and create a redirect for every "+" or "++" command I end up running across, but we're going to end up with a lot of redirects.
  2. I could use the bindcommand template and manually insert the '/+' or '/++' ahead of the command.
  3. (Assuming it's actually feasible) maybe we could put something in this template to allow for something preceding the command?

OK, back to my cage. --Eabrace 18:10, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

I think we'll be better off in the long run if the '++' isn't part of the link. Otherwise between "up", "+up", and "++up", we'd have three articles or at least one article and two redirects. If the '+' or '++' isn't part of the link, we have one article with no redirects. Then, if it's a command that can be used with anything like a '+' or '++', we just note the useage in the root command's article.
