Basic usage
This template produces a 'Back to' link. Parameters:
| Parameter | Actions |
|---|---|
| backcolour | Redundant as of September 2008. |
| linkpage | Name of page that you want to link to. |
| linktext | Text to display for above link. |
| tablelink | 'Homepage' name that has the table layout for that section. |
| maplink | 'Homepage' name that has map map layout for that section. |
| pagetype | This applies a logo for that section, but the phrase has to be correct. Use 'Pathology' for WikiPath pages, 'Anatomy' for WikiAnt and Phys pages, 'Bugs' for WikiBugs pages, 'Clinical' for WikiClinical pages 'VPH' for WikiVPH pages and 'Blood' for WikiBlood. |
| For these parameters | "CURRENT PAGE" is displayed like the sublink headings with no link allowing for subpages to accommodate their own content maps/table views |
| thispagenormal | 'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page. |
| thispagetable | 'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page. |
| thispagemap | 'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for the current page. |
| Subheadings | |
| sublink1(to 8) | Name of page that you want to link to. |
| subtext1(to 8) | Text to display for above link. |
| tablelink1(to 8) | 'Homepage' name that has the table layout for that section. |
| maplink1(to 8) | 'Homepage' name that has standard WikiVet layout for that section. |
The template can have as few or as many of the above variables declared. When using map and/or table views make sure that all views are declared on each page. The template will automatically detect the current page and consequently show no link for that page.
Linking back to other pages
This provides a link back to a higher section. The page can either be stand alone or supported with additional views.
Note: The table view is very rarely used on the wiki.

Using sublinks
This allows several 'back to' links to be used (up to 8).
{{toplink
|backcolour =
|linkpage =
|linktext =
|tablelink =
|maplink =
|sublink1 =
|subtext1 =
|sublink(2-8) =
|subtext(2-8)=
}}
Example
{{toplink
|linkpage =Lymphoreticular & Haematopoietic System - Pathology
|linktext =LYMPHORETICULAR & HAEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM
|sublink1 =Primary Lymphoid System - Pathology
|subtext1 = PRIMARY LYMPHOID SYSTEM
|pagetype = Pathology
}}

The full code
It is possible to have viewing options for all of the eight sublinks as well as the main link.
