Template:LinkTemplate
[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{ {{{1}}} }}]]
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 20th 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| then | else }}
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 }}.
