This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template uses Lua: |
This template is used to make summary style explicit. It looks like this:
It is used in sections for which there is also a separate article on the subject. It should be used when there should be a link to another article that discusses a subject more broadly, but is not a main article (which should use {{Main}}), a narrower topic (which should probably use {{Further}}), or at the same level of focus (which should probably use {{See also}}).
Usage[edit source]
- Basic usage
{{Broader|article}}
- With a topic
{{Broader|article|topic=topic}}
- With more than one target page
{{Broader|article1|article2|article3|topic=topic}}
- All parameters
{{Broader|article|topic=topic|selfref=yes|category=no}}
Parameters[edit source]
This template accepts the following parameters:
1
- the page to link to (required). Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.2
(and greater numbers) - any additional pages to link to. These links are also automatically formatted as with the first parameter.topic
- the name of the topic. If this is not specified, the text "this topic" is used.selfref
- if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See Template:Selfref for more information.category
- if set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This only has an effect if the first positional parameter (the page to link to) is omitted.
Examples[edit source]
{{Broader|Article}}
→{{Broader|Article|topic=some topic}}
→
Errors[edit source]
If no page name is supplied, the template will output the following message:
- Error: no page name specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{Broader}}
). Please use{{Broader|page}}
instead. - Some parameters were specified, but the page name wasn't included. For example, the template text
{{Broader|selfref=yes}}
will produce this error. Please use (for example){{Broader|page|selfref=yes}}
instead. - The page name was specified, but it contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code
{{Broader|2+2=4}}
will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explictly by using1=
before the page name (like this:{{Broader|1=2+2=4}}
) or you can disable the equals being interpreted as delimiting a parameter name by surrounding the equals with double braces (like this:{{Broader|2+2{{=}}4}}
).
If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk, and someone should be able to help you.
Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
