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). Make sure that you are listing the article where the template exists, not where it's transcluded to.

Syntax
