Migrate Token Documentation

docs/framework/civimail/tokens.md

+# Tokens
+
+CiviMail uses a number of **action** and **mail-merge tokens** and which can be placed in mailing labels, PDF letters, email messages and message templates, mailing headers and footers, and system-workflow (automated) messages. These tokens are converted dynamically to text, reply-to email addresses, and URLs.
+
+The best source of documentation for tokens is the [token page within the User Guide](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/stable/common-workflows/tokens-and-mail-merge/).
+
+This page gives supplemental information for working with tokens. [You can also customize or create new tokens relatively painlessly](/framework/civimail/index.md#extending-the-token-system).
+
+This table documents the available action tokens, their purpose and the place(s) they can be used.

+## Checksum tokens
+
+There is a very powerful feature to allow you to send an email with CiviMail to your constituents with a link to the contribution form, profile, or event registration form with all of their contact information already filled in! This saves them the hassle of filling it out and increasing the chances they would ultimately donate.  Or it can be a simple way to periodically allow people to review their contact info and update it if applicable.
+
+The way it works is you create a "special" link in the CiviMail message that includes the checksum token `{contact.checksum}`. When people click on the special link, it looks them up in the database and prefills any information on the contribution form or profile with any data that exists in their record. The special link lasts for seven days from the time it was sent out.
+
+DEVELOPER NOTE: the checksum token outputs the QS param, so if you are building a URL using `CRM_Contact_BAO_Contact_Utils::generateChecksum()`, you should include 'cs='
