Editing Help/Templates (section)

== Template naming == <!--T:393-->

<!--T:400-->
The name of a template is case-sensitive excluding the first character.
</translate>

<translate><!--T:401--> You make [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirect</tvar>|redirects]] for alternate capitalizations.</translate>
<translate><!--T:394--> For example, if a template is named "<tvar name=1>AdminAbbr</tvar>", you can create a redirect named "<tvar name=2>Adminabbr</tvar>".</translate>
<translate><!--T:395--> This way, the template can be called with either <tvar name=1><code><nowiki></nowiki></code></tvar> or <tvar name=2><code><nowiki></nowiki></code></tvar>.</translate>
<translate><!--T:396--> If an editor prefers a mix of upper and lower case for clarity, they can use functions like [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Parser_function#LC</tvar>|lc]] or [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Parser_function#UC</tvar>|uc]].</translate>
<translate><!--T:397--> For instance, instead of <tvar name=1><code><nowiki></nowiki></code></tvar>, they could use <tvar name=2><code><nowiki> }}</nowiki></code></tvar></translate>

<translate>
<!--T:398-->
Because template names are interpreted in the same way to the names of other pages, underscores are replaced with spaces, and any text after a number sign (what would be a [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links#Anchors</tvar>|anchor]] in a standard link) is ignored. 

<!--T:399-->
An underscore <tvar name=1><code>_</code></tvar> can be alternative to a blank space.
