{{{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}|...}}


The template {{temp}} is intended for use on talk pages and areas of Wiktionary that describe the markup language of wikitext. It displays the name of another template or template-like parser construct, linked for convenience, and wrapped in <code> tags. This template is implemented in terms of Module:template link. {{tempn}} functions identically to {{temp}}, except it does not wrap the output in <code> tags; it may be used nested.

Syntax

{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]name of template|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]namespace:pagename|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#invoke:module name|...}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:][msg[nw]:][raw:]#parser function:...[|...]}}
{{temp|[[safe]subst:]VARIABLE}}
  • The template automatically detects non-template namespaces, substitutions, magic words and parser functions. The syntax is identical to the one accepted by the MediaWiki parser. For example, inclusion from mainspace uses the : prefix.
  • Using the {{#invoke:}} parser function with a valid module name creates a link to the module. Likewise, using {{#tag:}} with a valid parser extension tag links to the tag's documentation.
  • If this template is given non-numeric named arguments, they will be displayed as arguments to the template; however, no particular order is guaranteed.
  • To force a particular order, or to display an equals sign in an explicitly named numeric parameter, you may use the following methods:
    • Use &#61; (or &#x3d;) to code the equal sign.
    • Wrap the parameter assignment (or just the = character) in <nowiki> tags.
    • Make explicit numeral assignments corresponding with numbered parameters starting from 2.
  • Previous versions of this template had an interwiki functionality; this feature has been dropped. Links to templates on sister wikis should be formatted manually.
