Template:Template parameter value/doc

Usage

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

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

Basic Syntax

{{Template parameter value|ARTICLE|TEMPLATE|TEMPLATE-COUNT|PARAMETER|PARAMETER-COUNT}}
