Hey dude... Thanks for helping. anwyays, see the below thread that's been copied here. what we're trying to do is link directly to tabs (i.e. the tab links above) but still have it bold the page that you're on in the navbox. Any brights ideas? i created {{tl|link}} because {{urlencode: didn't seem to help with [[plain internal links with#tab=because of the equals sign]] that gets mangled in the linking.. i.e. [[Arocknid#tab=TiP_-_Standard]] (piped to simply Arocknid) would be idea, but see what happens to the equals sign? –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 16:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

also ,i suppose there's no way to have an internal wikilink preload the proper tab display ?, i.e. if I'm viewing TIP standard and I click a different species it may load into the "VP1" tab...it would be nice if it automagically loaded the VIP-standard tab. -xenocidic (forum msg)

Hey dude... Thanks for helping. anwyays, see the below thread that's been copied here. what we're trying to do is link directly to tabs (i.e. the tab links above) but still have it bold the page that you're on in the navbox. Any brights ideas? i created {{link}} because {{urlencode: didn't seem to help with plain internal links with#tab=because of the equals sign that gets mangled in the linking.. i.e. Arocknid#tab=TiP_-_Standard (piped to simply Arocknid) would be ideal, but see what happens to the equals sign? –xenocidic (talk) 16:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

also ,i suppose there's no way to have an internal wikilink preload the proper tab display ?, i.e. if I'm viewing TIP standard and I click a different species it may load into the "VP1" tab...it would be nice if it automagically loaded the VIP-standard tab. -xenocidic (forum msg)

Yeah, you noticed that too. I found it annoying to have to tab back to the right game. It's not possible with an internal wikilink as the parser mangles the =. It has to be written as a fullurl, which we could do, and just suppress the external link icon. Would be a nice thing to fix if we had time. Do fullurls break the "bold ... if you're viewing that article" feature? I'd hate to lose that. -feralkitty (forum msg)

{{link}} now works, unfortunately the bold of the page you're on seems to break. (Test it out on the first two species of Template:Species-TroubleInParadise-Standard) I think it's an unfortunate tradeoff for the convenience of linking to tabs. What do you think of renaming the species-standard to just #Trouble in Paradise ? it would make things a little easier for internal link purposes, and the default target for the link template would be Trouble in Paradise so that people wouldn't have to supply a paramater to link to an article or species from VP2. –xenocidic (talk) 15:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

We'd be trading one annoyance for another annoyance. I know I definitely utilize bold to see where I am, without having to glance elsewhere. There's no solution that lets both work? As for renaming, are you talking about the tab (i.e., TiP - Standard -> Trouble in Paradise)? We use that tab label already for tabs that apply to both modes. I would think it would be confusing to mix conventions, wouldn't it? --FeralKitty (talk) 15:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
There might be a workaround, I can perhaps ask my wiki-wiz friend over at en.wiki if he can think of a better way. But if not, I think the convenience of linking directly to tabs outweighs the bold, at least for our readers. –xenocidic (talk) 15:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
