Template:LinkTemplate

[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{ {{{1}}} }}]]

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Returns a link (uncoloured/base-font), in the form [[Template:TemplateName | <nowiki>{{TemplateName | params }}</nowiki>]].

Usage

{{LinkTemplate | TemplateName | params }}

where

1	TemplateName	→	is the name of the Template to be linked;
2+	params	→	[optionally] up to 20 subsequent parameters for the template which (if defined) are added to the displayed TemplateName (i.e. {{ TemplateName \| param1 \| param2 \| etc }} ). Parameters after the 20th are currently ignored and shown as " \| … "
			Note: If included within any parameter value, the "=" (equals sign) must be entered using the template, as in "{{ = }}".

Examples

{{LinkTemplate|color|colorcode}}

yields

{{ color | colorcode }}

{{LinkTemplate|TemplateName|Param1|P2|P3|P4|P5|P6|P7|P8|P9|P10|P11}}

yields (red-linked since "Template:TemplateName" doesn't exist)

{{ TemplateName | Param1 | P2 | P3 | P4 | P5 | P6 | P7 | P8 | P9 | P10 | P11 }}

{{LinkTemplate|Count|Param1|P2|P3|P4|P5|P6|P7|P8|P9|P10|P11|P12|P13|P14|P15|P16|P17|P18|P19|P20|P21|P22}}

yields

{{ Count | Param1 | P2 | P3 | P4 | P5 | P6 | P7 | P8 | P9 | P10 | P11 | P12 | P13 | P14 | P15 | P16 | P17 | P18 | P19 | P20 | … }} 
(Note: optional parameters after the 20^th are currently ignored)

{{LinkTemplate|LinkTemplate|Param1|P2|||P5||P7|P8}}

yields (not a link since "Template:LinkTemplate" can't link to itself)

{{ LinkTemplate | Param1 | P2 |  |  | P5 |  | P7 | P8 }}

{{LinkTemplate|ifeq|compare|value| &nbsp;then&nbsp; | &nbsp;else&nbsp; }}

yields

{{ ifeq | compare | value |  then  |  else  }}

{{LinkTemplate|ifeq|compare|value| <nowiki>[[Template:ifeqany]]</nowiki> | <nowiki>[[Template:ifeqall]]</nowiki> }}

yields

{{ ifeq | compare | value | [[Template:ifeqany]] | [[Template:ifeqall]] }}

{{LinkTemplate|Current hour offset in time zone|time zone [|dst=no] }}

yields (parameter dst is missing because LinkTemplate tries to interpret the equals sign in "|dst=no")

{{ Current hour offset in time zone | time zone [ }}

{{LinkTemplate|Current hour offset in time zone|time zone [|dst{{=}}no] }}

yields the desired result

{{ Current hour offset in time zone | time zone [ | dst=no] }}

May be used in-line to create a reference, such as {{ color | colorcode }}, to a template within the body of a paragraph. The inclusion of parameters is entirely optional, dependent upon whether their listing is desired; the template alone may be referenced as in {{ color }} by simply excluding the parameters from the call to {{ LinkTemplate }}.
