![]() | This template uses Lua: |
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 more comprehensive list article on the subject.
{{Main list|article}}
{{Main list|article 1|article 2}}
{{Main list|article 1|article 2|category=no}}
This template accepts the following parameters:
1
- the page to link to (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.2
- a second page (optional). Same implications as the first parameter apply.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.{{Main list|Wikipedia:Hatnote#Hatnote templates}}
→ {{Main list|Wikipedia:Hatnote#Hatnote templates|Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup#Cleanup}}
→ If no page name is supplied, the template will output the following message:
If you see this error message, it is for one of three reasons:
{{Main list}}
). Please use {{Main list|page}}
instead.{{Main list|2+2=4}}
will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using 1=
before the page name, like this: {{Main list|1=2+2=4}}
.{{#invoke:Main list|mainList|text}}
. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use {{Main list|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.
For cases where the present context provides no short list to which this template "a more comprehensive list" wording could refer, see the template {{Main listing}}, which is just a pointer to the list article.
