Module:Pn

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

The module returns one value from its list of unnamed parameters.

The named parameter |idx= is the index of the parameter that is to be returned.

Negative indices count backward from the end of the list.

A wrapper template may be used to simplify usage.

For accessing both named and unnamed parameters, see {{#invoke:params|value_of}}.

Examples

• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=1}} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx= | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=0 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=1 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=2 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=-1 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{#invoke:Pn |getVal | idx=99 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →

Using a wrapper template, {{P-1}}:

• {{p-1 | a | b | c | d | e | f }} →
• {{wdib|ps=1|P8011|qid=Q84055514}} →
• {{wdib|ps=1|P8011|qid=Q84055514|list=p-1}} →
