This template is used to make summary style explicit. It looks like this:
It is used in sections for which there is also a separate article on the subject.
Usage
edit- Basic usage
{{details|PAGE1}}→- With more than one article
{{details|PAGE1|PAGE2|PAGE3}}→- With a topic
{{details|topic=TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2}}→- All parameters
{{details|topic=TOPIC|PAGE1|PAGE2#SECTION|selfref=yes|category=no}}→
Parameters
editThis template can take any number of unnamed parameters (at least one is required), which are the target pages. Links to 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.
In addition, this template accepts the following named parameters:
topic- the name of the topic. If this is not specified, the text "this topic" is used.selfref- if set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references to Wikipedia. See {{selfref}} for more information.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 an error would be produced.
Examples
edit{{details|Article}}→{{details|topic=some topic|Article}}→
Errors
editIf no page name is 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
{{details}}). Please use{{details|page}}instead. - Some parameters were specified, but the page name wasn't included. For example, the template text
{{details|selfref=yes}}will produce this error. Please use (for example){{details|page|selfref=yes}}instead. - The 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
{{details|2+2=4}}will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using1=before the page name, like this:{{details|1=2+2=4}}. - You tried to access Module:Details directly by using
{{#invoke:details|details|text}}. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use{{details|text}}instead.
If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message on the help desk, and someone should be able to help you.
Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
