Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Template namespace (section)

=== Template names ===
{{shortcut|WP:TPN}}
Template names should be made of one or more words, such as {{tlc|Train topics}}. The first character is not case-sensitive, so {{tlc|cleanup}} and {{tlc|Cleanup}} are the same template. All other characters are case sensitive, so {{tlc|cfd}} and {{tlc|cfD}} are not the same. Template names are easiest to remember if they follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization (also see the [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|naming conventions]] for articles). Avoid having templates whose names differ only in case, spacing, or punctuation.

For templates with long names, [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Template_redirects|template redirects]] (often called shortcuts) can be created for ease of typing. For example, instead of typing {{tlc|Template link with subst}} the shortcut {{tlc|tls}} is available.
