Template:IF/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Usage of this template is moderately simple.

To use, place {{subst:IF|1}}Why?.

This will produce:

{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}}}

Why

[edit]
  • A "subst:" must be put at the beginning
  • Transclusion shows exactly what is seen on the template page, meaning the dead code used for subst won't become active; this means you'll have broken code, and therefore you wasted your time; you MUST put a subst so it can re-integrate the code and activate the subst tags within the original code, this is what makes this template possible.
  • The first parameter must be a number (1-infinity)
  • this is what generates the new unnamed parameter.
  • The second parameter must be a lowercase t.
  • Thanks to my latest coding patch, this parameter is no longer required

[edit]
  • Template:If - Not to be confused with if, which serves a different purpose.
