Template:Module link
{{[[Module:{{{1}}}|#invoke:{{{1}}}]]|function}}
This template uses Lua: |
{{ml}} is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {{#invoke}} 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 {{=}}. |
{{ml|Example|}}
|
{{#invoke:Example}} | Omits the function name |
