Template:Alternate links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

This template will allow you to provide multiple alternate choices for a link and will display the first one that exists. This is most useful for linking to topics that tend to have annual pages where the annual page may or may not exist.

For example, if I want to link to the article about the 2010 Richmond Spiders football team that may or may not exist, I would make this call:

{{Alternate links|2010 Richmond Spiders football team|Richmond Spiders football|Richmond Spiders|University of Richmond|title=Richmond|alt=Richmond}}

This would yield: Richmond

Important - whitespace cannot be included or it will be added to the wiki link and it will not function properly.
