Template:Module link expanded

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

(often abbreviated {{mlx}}) is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the #invoke parser function, 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 is also supports the definition of a function and parameters.

Examples

Code	Result	Notes
	{{#invoke:Example|function}}	Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
	{{#invoke:Example|hello}}	Usage with a function name.
	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters.
	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters, using =.
