Using parameters in templates
| Template with numbered parameters | |
''bbb.'''<br>
<small>for {{{1}}}.<br>
hugs, {{{2}}}</small>
| |
| bbbbb | bbbbbbb |
{{aau|abbb|ace}}
|
|
| with named parameters | |
'''A little thank you...'''<br>
<small>for {{{reason}}}.<br>
hugs, {{{signature}}}</small>
| |
| You type | You get |
{{Thankyou
|reason=all your hard work
|signature=Joe}}
|
|
{{{1}}}or named{{{param}}}.
When using the tem
Yo {{{reason|all your hard work}}} would result in "all your hard work" if no value was provided for the parameter reason.
Control template inclusion
You can control template inclusion by the use of <noinclude> and
<includeonly> tags.
Anything between <noinclude> and </noinclude> will be processed and
displayed only when the template's page is being viewed directly.
Possible applications are:
- Categorising templates
- Interlanguage links to similar templates in other languages
- Explanatory text about how to use the template
The converse is <includeonly>. Text between <includeonly> and </includeonly> will be processed and displayed only when the page is being included. The obvious application is to add all pages containing a given template to a category, without putting the template itself into that category.
Organizing templates
For example:
<noinclude>
==Usage==
Allows to establish a link to a subject:
{{NameOfTemplate|Term1+Term2+Term3}}
</noinclude>
