Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{#invoke:Map params|map}} maps parameters received by a function to wikitext using |1= or to a template call using |call=.

Usage

{{#invoke:Map params|main|parameters}}

Parameters

Input

• |prefixn= - The prefix of the parameters to process. All registered prefixes will be checked to determine if a number is present in the provided arguments. |prefix1= defaults to processing unnamed parameters.
• |extran= - An extra parameter to pass to the wikitext or template being called. If the extra parameter is suffixed with a number (same as prefixed parameters but not checked to determine if a number is present), add the suffix (i). For example, style(i).
• |sparse= - Set to yes to support parameter lists with gaps. Defaults to no.
• |optnum= - Whether or not to support passing the first parameter without a number, i.e. allow it to be |prefix= rather than |prefix1=. Defaults to yes.

Map to

• |1= - The wikitext to map parameters to. Parameters are substituted with their number removed, i.e. |itemn= becomes |item= etc. The parameter {{{i}}} is replaced with the current index and {{{1}}} is replaced with the current unnamed parameter (if applicable).
• |call= - Template to call. Parameters are passed with their number removed, i.e. |itemn= becomes |item= etc. The parameter {{{i}}} is the current index and {{{1}}} is the current unnamed parameter (if applicable). Overrides |1=.

Concatenation

• |sep= / |2= - Separator to add between outputs. To preserve leading and tailing whitespace, |2= can be used instead, or |1= when |call= is being used.
• |conj= - Special separator to use before the final output. Outer spaces can be added with {{sp}} or  .

Advanced

• |expand= - Whether or not to expand templates, parser functions, extension tags, etc. after substituting parameters. This is most useful when |1= is used without <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags and can provide a slight performance advantage. Only relevant when using |1=. Defaults to yes.
