Template:PrefixIndex
.svg){kind=link}
This template transcludes Special:PrefixIndex, which can be done with {{Special:PrefIndex}}, but adds formatting. It can split the list into multiple columns, remove redirects, and strip the output of the prefix.
Usage
[edit source]This template transcludes Special:PrefixIndex (yes, you can do that!) along with some extra stuff, to produce a list of pages with names beginning with a certain prefix. Enter the prefix in the first unnamed parameter. To split the list into multiple columns, enter the column width (e.g. 15em, or 30em) in the |colwidth= parameter. To hide redirects from the list, enter anything in the |redr= parameter and to strip the given prefix from all the page names, enter anything |stripprefix= parameter.
You can do most of this stuff (except for the |columns= and |colwidth= part) by directly transcluding the special page. Its documentation and talk can be seen at the (bizarrely located due to technical reasons) pages Wikipedia:Special:PrefixIndex and Wikipedia talk:Special:PrefixIndex.
Like, for example: {{Special:PrefixIndex/Dogs of|stripprefix=1|hideredirects=1}}
The main thing this template adds is the ability to specify columns and column width.
Compare this to the equivalent usage with {{PrefixIndex}}:
Like, for example: {{PrefixIndex|Dogs of|stripprefix=1|hideredirects=1|colwidth=12em}}
Syntax
[edit source]Vertical format that takes up a lot of space and is easy to read:
{{PrefixIndex
| prefix =
| stripprefix =
| hideredirects =
| colwidth =
}}
Horizontal format:
{{PrefixIndex||stripprefix=|hideredirects=|colwidth=}}
