Template:Page-multi

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

This template uses Lua:

Module:PageLinks

This is a very flexible page link template, which allows you to specify which links are shown beside the pagename. It can be used as a meta-template to support other page link templates, or it can be used alone.

Usage

Standalone usage

{{page-multi|code 1|code 2|code 3|...|page=pagename}}

Parameters

1, 2, 3, ... n: these parameters specify what links to display in the template. See the code table below for valid input codes.
page: the pagename. An error is returned if this is omitted.
separator: the separator to use in between links. Valid values are dot(⧼dot-separator⧽), comma(, ), pipe( | ), and tpt-languages( • ). If not specified, then dot is the default.
small: if this parameter exists, fonts will be displayed at 90% of the normal size.
sup: if this parameter exists, links will be displayed in superscript.
doc: this parameter is only available on template pages, using the /template sub-template. If set to yes, it will automatically generate documentation for that template.
date: if specified, the page view statistics will display for the 30 days prior to the given date (otherwise it's 60 days prior to the current date). The date string should either start with the format YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD (you can use {{subst:CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} to insert the current date).
demo: if this parameter is set to yes, the template will not output any categories.

Codes

Here is a list of currently supported link codes:

Code	Preview
t	talk
ts	talk
wlh	links
rc	related
edit	edit
h	history
w	watch
tl	logs
efl	abuse filter log
vlm-sgs	stats
pv	stats
h500	long history

The ts code differs from the t code in that it will display a link to the subject page when the template is used for a talk page, and vice versa.

Examples

Code	Output
`{{page-multi\|page=Example\|t\|wlh}}`	Example (talk⧼dot-separator⧽links)
`{{page-multi\|page=Example\|wlh\|vlm-sgs}}`	Example (links⧼dot-separator⧽stats)

Errors

In certain circumstances, the template will generate errors. This is a list of all the error messages that the template might generate, and how users can resolve them.

Not a valid link code

Page-multi error: "xyz" is not a valid link code.

This error is generated if an invalid link code is specified. For a list of valid link codes, see the code list above.

No link type specified

Page-multi error: no link type specified.

This error is only generated when using Module:PageLinks directly to create a single link. The link code must be in the first positional parameter, like this: {{#invoke:PageLinks|single||}}.

Function did not return a string value

Page-multi error: the function for code "xyz" did not return a string value.

This is an error in the software generating the links, and requires attention from the developers. Please start a new thread at Template talk:Page-multi.

Tracking categories

The template uses the following tracking categories:

Error category

Category:PageLinks transclusions with errors - this is used to track all the errors listed above

Adding new links

To add a new link, you need to edit the Lua module that this template is based on, Module:PageLinks. Instructions are in the source code, if you feel capable programming in Lua. If you're not familiar with Lua, feel free to make a request on Template talk:Page-multi, and someone might add the link for you.
