Template:Ml
{{#invoke:[[Module:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]|function}}
This template uses Module:Separated entries, a script written in the Lua programming language. Please see Wikipedia:Lua if you want to learn more about Lua or help convert other templates. |
Template:Ml (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the Template:((#invokeTemplate:)) parser function, thus showing the module name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a module by name without invoking it. It is also supports the definition of a function and parameters.
Examples
Code | Result | Notes |
---|---|---|
{{ml|Example}}
|
{{#invoke:Example|function}} | Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation. |
{{ml|Example|hello}}
|
{{#invoke:Example|hello}} | Usage with a function name. |
{{ml|Example|count_fruit|4=bananas=10|5=kiwis=5}}
|
{{#invoke:Example|count_fruit|bananas=10|kiwis=5}} | Usage with a function name and parameters. |
{{ml|Example|count_fruit|Fred|bananas{{=}}10|apples{{=}}5}}
|
{{#invoke:Example|count_fruit|Fred|bananas=10|apples=5}} | Usage with a function name and parameters, using Template:((=Template:)). |
