Template:Rpl

•  [[|]]: {{def {{{1}}}}} [[[Template:Def {{{1}}}|e]]]

This template is used on article lists like Natural Sciences Core Articles. It displays a pictorial representation of the article's status, the article's title (in blue if existent, otherwise in red), and a brief description that uses the rpl template.

The possible depictions are , , , and , with the status of the article increasing from stubby (left) to approved (right).

Example of use:

{{rpl|Biology}}

produces:

•  Biology: Template:Def Biology [e]

Notice that the template produces a space after the definition.

If used on an entry that does not exist (e.g. Foolbar), {{rpl|Foobar}}

produces:

• Foobar: Template:Def Foobar [e] .

Notice that there are three links in the above output:

• "Foobar" is a link to a blank article to be titled "Foobar".
• "Template:Def Foobar" is a link to a (blank) definition page for "Foobar". You would click on that link and write a definition, and save it, and then it would appear here. To learn what to write there, please see CZ:Definitions. Once you have written a definition, this link will disappear and the definition will appear in its place, as you can see above with the definition of "Biology".
• "e" is another link to a (blank) definition page for "Foobar". But this link will not disappear. (See the "Biology" line above again; you can click the blue "e" on that line and from there, edit the definition of "Biology".
