=== | === Link templates === | ||
'' | ''Link templates'' can and should be used when external web sites are often linked to and/or when the URLs are complicated. This could for example be code repositories, the issue tracker etc. Using them will help reducing typing, reducing errors and most of all lessen the amount of maintenance edits needed if for example a repository changes hosting. | ||
The link templates can be found in [[:Category:Link templates]]. Many of them have documentation on the template pages. Here follows some commonly used templates. | |||
