Template:Template parameter value/doc

Usage

The purpose of this template is to gain the value of a template's named parameter 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 is case-sensitive; i.e. setting |Viewers= will not match |viewers=. This template also only works with named parameters; i.e. it cannot get the first parameter of {{Start date}} (the year).

Syntax

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

Examples

24th usage of |OriginalAirDate= in the 3rd usage of {{Episode table}} in List of Lucifer episodes
