== Usage ==

The purpose of this template is to gain the value of a template's parameter (named parameteror numbered) in an article, for usage elsewhere. For example, gaining the value of the {{para|num_episodes}} parameter in the {{tl|Infobox television}} template in an article, to use in another article.

This template is case-sensitive; i.e. setting {{para|Viewers}} will not match {{para|viewers}}. This template also only works with named or numbered parameters; i.e. it cannotcan get the first parameter of {{tl|Start date}} (the year). This template is case-sensitive; i.e. setting {{para|Viewers}} will not match {{para|viewers}}. Make sure that you are listing the article where the template exists, not where it's transcluded to.
