Template:Trimc
This template replaces multiple colons at the beginning of internal links. This patch, deployed to Commons 13 September 2017, made links starting with two colons (e.g. [[::Main Page]]) invalid, so if a template has a hard-coded colon and the parameter value too, it will break the link. This template helps fixing it.
Usage
{{Trimc |1= }}
Template parameters
- TemplateData
TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.
Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either useTemplateData=1 or useTemplateData=only on the /doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.
Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
