The {{

stand-alone glossary list article. Example: key

.
Using {{chessprobgloss|key}} is a more concise way of doing [[Glossary of chess problems#key|key]]. and provides a mouse-hover tooltip indicating that the link goes to a glossary entry (this does not interfere with page previews or navigation popups). The template takes one or two parameters, as detail below.
The template makes proper use of the <dfn> HTML element (as documented at the parent meta-template, {{
gli}} ({{glossary link internal
}}), which does not use that element (it is reserved for term entries in the glossary). It can also be used in other articles where the same term is linked twice because of article length (<dfn> should only be used once per term per page, as it means "this is the defining instance of this term on this page").


Usage
Syntax:
From an article to the glossary:

{{chessprobgloss|glossary term|article text}}
If the text being linked matches the name of (or an anchor present at) the glossary entry, regardless of upper or lower case, you can simply do:

{{chessprobgloss|article text that is a glossary term}}
It will also handle suffixes like plurals, etc., added onto it:

{{chessprobgloss|article text that is a glossary term}}ized
From inside Glossary of chess problems itself, to link from one entry to another:

{{gli
|glossary term|article text}}
Parameters
The first parameter is the name of the term to be linked to in

vanchor}}). {{chessprobgloss|glossary term}} displays as glossary term. This will be automatically converted to all-lowercase (as is done by the {{Term}} template being linked to in the glossary); thus {{chessprobgloss|glossary term|article text}} and {{chessprobgloss|Glossary term|article text}} and {{chessprobgloss

|Glossary Term|article text}} are functionally equivalent. For cases where this might not be desirable, see |lc=no, below.

The second parameter is the visible text string to be wikilinked from in the article ({{chessprobgloss|glossary term|article text}} diplays as: article text). This parameter is optional, used when this displayed text needs to be different from what is put in the first parmeter (which is displayed by default if the second parameter is absent): {{chessprobgloss|glossary term|glossary term}} and {{chessprobgloss|glossary term}} are functionally equivalent, so prefer the shorter version. Using a capitalized {{chessprobgloss|Glossary term}} will display as: Glossary term. But its link goes to the same lowercase "glossary term" target as {{chessprobgloss|glossary term}}.

The parameter |lc=no (or any other value like |lc=n, |lc=false) can be used to turn off the automatic lower-casing of the link target, for a case in which the glossary entry is upper-case and someone doesn't want to link to a lower-cased anchor for it (e.g. for a proper name). The upper case anchor must exist in the glossary's code.

Limitations

The first parameter cannot contain wikimarkup, link code, or anything else other than plain text; it is part of a URL.

The second parameter may contain wikimarkup, but cannot contain link code; it is the second half of a piped wikilink.

Examples

One parameter:: The published problem had a {{chessprobgloss|cook}} detected the following year.; The published problem had a cook detected the following year.
Two parameters:: The published problem had a {{chessprobgloss|cook|second key move}} detected the following year.; The published problem had a second key move detected the following year.
Add a suffix (works exactly the same as with a regular wilklink like [[dog]]s):: The published problem was {{chessprobgloss|cook}}ed, which was not detected until the following year.; The published problem was cooked, which was not detected until the following year.
Capitalize displayed term:: {{chessprobgloss|Cook}}ed problems are rarely published today because of computerised checking.; Cooked problems are rarely published today because of computerised checking.
Link to uppercase glossary term explicitly:: This kind of interference is called a {{chessprobgloss|Würzburg–Plachutta|lc=no}}.; This kind of interference is called a Würzburg–Plachutta.; (The {{term}} template in the glossary will provide a lowercase anchor automatically, so this is not necessary, but can be done if you prefer it.)
