WikiIndex:Parser functions: Difference between revisions

<pre>{{ #if: {{{value|}}} | what to show if activated | what to show if not }}</pre>

<pre>{{ #if: {{{1|}}} | The name of this site is {{{1}}}. | This site has an unknown name. }}</pre>

Let's say this is included in the template ''[[Template:If example|ifExample]]''.  If <nowiki>{{ifExample|WikiIndex}}</nowiki> is entered, '{{ifExample|WikiIndex}}' will show up because value was specified, as 'WikiIndex'.  <nowiki>{{ifExample|not WikiIndex}}</nowiki> makes '{{ifExample|not WikiIndex}}', because value is specified, as 'not WikiIndex'.  <nowiki>{{ifExample}}</nowiki> makes just '{{ifExample}}' because it was left blank.

<pre>{{ #switch: value

| value1 = what to show if value1 is entered

| value2 = what to show if value2 is entered

| | what to show if something else is entered

| #default = what to show if nothing is entered

<pre>{{ #switch: {{{1}}}

| a = argh

| b = blah

| c = cough

| | anything

| #default = nothing

This is included in the template [[template:switchExample|switchExample]]. <nowiki>{{switchExample|a}}</nowiki> gives "{{switchExample|a}}" because a is entered. <nowiki>{{switchExample}}</nowiki> gives "{{switchExample}}", because the template was left blank. <nowiki>{{switchExample|d}}</nowiki> gives "{{switchExample|d}}", because d doesn't exist in the template.
