Template:R

This template is used on CZ:Related Articles pages.

Example of use

{{r|Biology}} produces:

• Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e] [r]

Redirects

If used on an entry that is a redirect, or an article without a metadata template, the link will appear as a purple color.

If used on a redirect that does have a definition:

{{r|Supernova}} produces:

• Supernova: An astronomical object exploding to a brightness similar to that of an entire galaxy. Caused by a catastrophic explosion of either a white dwarf system or an aged star about five times the size of the sun, which occurs when the star collapses; a neutron star or a black hole may be formed as a result, or the explosion results in no remaining compact object. [e] [r]

Or for a redirect without a definition:

{{r|Biological}} produces:

• Biological: Related to life and its scientific study. [e] [r] .

Name specificity

{{r|Nova (astronomy)}} is seen as:

• Nova (astronomy): Variable star in the class of cataclysmic variable stars, which is normally very faint but occasionally erupts in an immense explosion, increasing its brightness a thousand to tens of millions of times; similar but unrelated to supernovae. [e] [r]

{{r|Nova (astronomy)|Nova}} is seen as:

• Nova: Variable star in the class of cataclysmic variable stars, which is normally very faint but occasionally erupts in an immense explosion, increasing its brightness a thousand to tens of millions of times; similar but unrelated to supernovae. [e] [r]

No article

If used on an entry that does not exist but does have a definition:

{{r|Botany}} produces:

• Botany: The study of plants, algae and fungi (mycology). [e] [r]

If used on an entry that does not exist or have a definition (e.g. Foobar),

{{r|Foobar}} produces:

• Foobar: Add definition [e] [r] .

Notice that there are four links in the above output:

• "Foobar" is a link to a blank article to be titled "Foobar".
• Add definition is a link to start a definition subpage for "Foobar". You would click on that link and write a definition, and save it, and then it would appear here. To learn what to write there, please see CZ:Definitions. Once you have written a definition, this link will disappear and the definition will appear in its place, as you can see above with the definition of "Biology".
• "e" is another link to a (blank) definition page for "Foobar". But this link will not disappear. (See the "Biology" line above again; you can click the blue "e" on that line and from there, edit the definition of "Biology".
• "r" is a link to the Related Articles page for "Foobar". If no such page exists yet, the link will be red.
