== Better template now in place ==

I made a template called ] which is a little more efficient for producing the letters. The way it works is the following...

You enter...

'''<nowiki>{{quickindexnav|A}}</nowiki>'''


Rather than entering...

'''<nowiki>|]</nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki>|]</nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki>|]</nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki>|]</nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki>|]</nowiki>'''

etc...

The A in.. <nowiki>{{quickindexnav|</nowiki>'''A'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> ...is the beginning letter. Of course that means it can be customized for each line.

My compliments to Krik. This is a very useful page. --MerovingianTalk 13:44, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)

Am I missing the uppper case versions? "AA" etc. Stan 01:08, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This or a second page should include the double-capitalised two letter combinations as starting points for index browsing as well. Courtland 02:13, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

First three letter index

This alphabetical listing is outstanding! Nevertheless, one possible improvement: For some letters even "first two" isn't enoough. E.g. "ch". How about taking the first row of A-Z (which isn't very useful in and of itself because there are so many articles) and changing it: when someone clicks on "A" - the result will be a 26x26 chart of "first three letters" for "A", i.e. Aaa through Azz. If someone clicks "C" - the result will be "Caa" through "Czz", so there will also be a row of "Cha" through "Chz". 80.178.194.56 05:15, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)


A question

I can't get letters like A. B or anything that the second letter has a period in the Quick without specifically searching for it after clicking on a letter. Any ideasFalphin 21:32, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

That could be added, but it would also be useful to add digits (A0 to A9, etc.) and things like Áa, Äa, and so on. Courtland 02:18, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Better template now in place

I made a template called Template:quickindexnav which is a little more efficient for producing the letters. The way it works is the following...

You enter...

{{quickindexnav|A}}


Rather than entering...

|]

|]

|]

|]

|]

etc...

The A in.. {{quickindexnav|A}} ...is the beginning letter. Of course that means it can be customized for each line.
