Template:Synonym
Purpose
This template identifies redirect page names as terms. It allows outdated terms to be used in templates, such that the pages using them do not need to be updated whenever the series term changes and the article page is moved.
This allows synonyms to be used as input for Template:Term. For example, using {{Term|TP|Dinolfos}} to retrieve Dynalfos, the term for Dinolfos in Twilight Princess.
It also allows synonyms to be used in Cargo data. For example, Template:Nomenclature is able to display an Ocarina of Time entry for Dynalfos even though it is stored in Data:Translations/OoT/Enemies under Dinolfos.
When used, this template adds pages to the Synonymous Terms category.
Usage
{{Synonym}}
Guidelines
All redirects using official names, regardless of their canon status, are to be paired with this template. For redirects using unofficial names, refer to the Search Redirect template.
