Template:Module link

Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Module link }} is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {{#invoke}} parser functions, 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 also supports the definition of a function and parameters. The template assumes that the function specified is documented, and thus creates a link to a section of the same name expected to be found in the documentation

Usage

Code	Result	Notes
{{mfl|Example}}	{{#invoke:Example}}	Omits the function name
{{mfl|Example|hello}}	{{#invoke:Example|hello}}	Usage with a function name.
{{mfl|Example|count_fruit|3=bananas=10|4=kiwis=5}}	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruit|bananas=10|kiwis=5}}	Usage with a function name and parameters.
{{mfl|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 {{=}}.
{{mfl|Example|}}	{{#invoke:Example|function}}	Usage with a generic function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
