Usage
{{#invoke:Unsubst-infobox||$B=template body|$params=parameters}}
Infoboxes should never be substituted. A trick to avoid that is to make a template substitute to its transcluded form. This module is similar to Module:Unsubst. parameters is a comma-separated list of the names of parameters the invoking infobox template can take.
Parameter list
- $B
- The content of the template, as it would be without the module being used.
- $params
- A comma-separated list of template parameters, without any aliases.
- $aliases
- A comma-separated list of parameter replacements, in the format
old1>new1,old2>new2. - $extra
- A comma-separated list of any parameters listed in $params which don't need to be shown after substitution unless they are already being used in the template; i.e. if a parameter is in both lists and is not used or blank in a particular transclusion, then on substitution the parameter will not be displayed.
- $set1
- A shorter list of parameters, comma-separated. If all the parameters used in a transclusion are in this list, then this will be used to generate the parameter names instead of ($params − $extra). This might be used if an infobox has multiple parameters that are only applicable to some group of articles.
- $set2
- Same as $set1, but only used if some of the parameters are not in $set1.
- $set3
- Same as $set2, but only used if some of the parameters are not in $set2 (i.e. all parameters are in this list, some parameters are not in $set1, and some parameters are not in $set2).
All other parameters are treated as input to the template. If the input value is not blank and the input parameter is a valid parameter of the template, then the value will appear in the post-substitution content.
