Usage

Makes searching through Wikipedia:Signpost articles much easier, by giving you a search box that automatically adds terrifying regexes to a query.

This template is actually several templates (articles, talk, and all) which you can select between by passing a parameter. Like so:

{{Signpost/Search|articles}}

{{Signpost/Search|talk}}

<inputbox> type=fulltext placeholder=Search all Signpost pages in "Wikipedia talk" searchbuttonlabel=Go inline=true break=no prefix=WT: searchfilter=intitle:/Signpost/ </inputbox>

{{Signpost/Search|all}}

<inputbox> type=fulltext placeholder=Search all pages with "Signpost" in their name searchbuttonlabel=Go inline=true break=no prefix= searchfilter=intitle:/Signpost/ </inputbox>

You can also specify triple to get all three:

{{Signpost/Search|triple}}

<inputbox> type=fulltext placeholder=Search all Signpost articles searchbuttonlabel=Go inline=true break=no prefix=WP: searchfilter=intitle:/Signpost\/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}\/.*/ -intitle:"/SPV" </inputbox> <inputbox> type=fulltext placeholder=Search all Signpost pages in "Wikipedia talk" searchbuttonlabel=Go inline=true break=no prefix=WT: searchfilter=intitle:/Signpost/ </inputbox> <inputbox> type=fulltext placeholder=Search all pages with "Signpost" in their name searchbuttonlabel=Go inline=true break=no prefix= searchfilter=intitle:/Signpost/ </inputbox>

If you don't supply a parameter, or supply something not recognized, it will just return the "articles" search box.

{{Signpost/Search}}

{{Signpost/Search|tutti frutti}}

Subtemplates

Ideally, you don't call these directly, you do it from {{Signpost/Search}}.

Searches through all pages with "Talk:" and "Signpost" in them.

Template:Signpost/Search/articles

The regex is this: intitle:/Signpost\/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}\/.*/ -intitle:"/SPV"

Template:Signpost/Search/all

Automatically filters to only pages with "Signpost" in their title.

Other templates

Template:Signpost/Search/mostrecent

This creates a link to a search formatted to find the most recent instance of the column name you give it. For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Click here!!!</syntaxhighlight>

gives:

Click here!!!

Note that you don't need to do any special formatting (like "Arbitration_report") for the parameter -- it makes a correct URL automatically.
