Template:@todo
Contents
Intent[edit source]
Using this template is a shortcut to inserting a "notepad" icon next to an item in a list to mark it as something to do -- yet it's something that is NOT as defined as an action item (See the Template:AI template.
Usage[edit source]
just insert the template tag like so
* wake up
* {{@todo}} explore the universe
wherever you want the "notepad" to appear. Note that the template macro should be placed after the list item marker
Your Todo List[edit source]
You can see what pages include the template by using the WhatLinksHere Special Page.
By using the 'fullurl' magic word[1], and piping the querystring to it, you can generate exactly the report you desire: What pages in the Talk (#1) namespace link to the @todo template?
You can also use a special "subpage" syntax, in conjunction with SpecialPages that support it, to pass an argument to the SpecialPage Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:@todo
The best way to report on this template is to use the Dynamic Page List extension. This way you can generate a custom report:
{{#dpl:
|uses = Template:@todo
|mode = ordered
|ordermethod=lastedit
|addeditdate=true
|resultsheader=Things to do
|noresultsheader = Nothing on your todo list! Hooray!
}}
Generates... {{#dpl: |uses = Template:@todo |mode = ordered |ordermethod=lastedit |addeditdate=true |resultsheader=Things to do |noresultsheader = Nothing on your todo list! Hooray! }}
