When indentation is too deep, this template will "un-indent" a reply.
Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (:) for spacing. This template produces a connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent
Usage[change | change source]
To outdent posts, insert the number of colons that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.
::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
{{User:Phantomsteve/outdent|::::}} start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
start of a new post
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{User:Phantomsteve/outdent|6}} start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
start of a new post
You can also have the template automatically add a linked tag, by adding any second parameter (its specific value is discarded):
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{User:Phantomsteve/outdent|6|link}} start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
(outdent) start of a new post
the outdent template may also be indented using colons, like any other text.
Do not use subst: with this template.
This template is contained in the CSS class "outdent-template". Users who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS (by default: Special:MyPage/monobook.css):
