 | This template uses Lua: |
This template is used to link to articles containing further information on a topic. It looks like this:
It is typically used at the top of a section, when the topic of that section is covered in more detail by another page. It is useful for implementing summary style.
Parameters
This template accepts the following parameters:
1,2,3, ... - the pages to link to. At least one page name is 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.label1,label2,label3... alternative output labels for the corresponding linked pages. Aliases "label N" (with a space) and "lN" (short) are also available.topic- the name of the topicselfref- if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references.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.
Errors
If no page names are supplied, the template will output the following message:
- Error: no page names specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{further}}). Please use{{further|page}}instead. - Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text
{{further|selfref=yes}}will produce this error. Please use (for example){{further|page|selfref=yes}}instead. - A 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
{{further|1+1=2|2+2=4}}will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using1=,2, etc., before the page name, like this:{{further|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}. - You tried to access the module directly by using
{{#invoke:(module name)|further|text}}. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use{{(module name)|text}}instead.
Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
