Template:Module link code/doc

	This is a documentation subpage for Template:Module link code. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Module link code}} (often abbreviated {{mlc}}) 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
{{mlc|Example}}	{{#invoke:Example|function}}	Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
{{mlc|Example|hello}}	{{#invoke:Example|hello}}	Usage with a function name.
{{mlc|Example|count_fruits|4=bananas=5|5=apples=10}}	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters.
{{mlc|Example|count_fruits|bananas{{=}}5|apples{{=}}10}}	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters, using {{=}}.
