Template:Article list/doc

Usage

This template will take a comma-separated list of Wikidata QIDs and output a list of articles. It is designed for use in navigation templates and will ensure that the links stay up to date even if articles are moved or deleted from OODA WIKI.

Links can be piped to remove any unnecessary words by using the |remove= parameter.

The module will automatically sort the list alphabetically. If you would prefer to keep the order you have used, then set |sort=no.

Examples

{{Article list |Q5457812, Q7195231, Q15179086}} produces

In the next example, the unnecessary words "light" and "lighthouse" are removed.

{{Article list |Q5457812, Q7195231, Q15179086 |remove=light,lighthouse}} produces

To preserve the order you have manually chosen, use |sort=no.

{{Article list |Q5457812, Q7195231, Q15179086 |sort=no}} produces

Convert helper template

You can use

This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
	Default (without accessory parameters)	{{example}}
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	{{example}}	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	{{example}}
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	{{example}}	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML ‎<code>...‎</code> tags (monospaced font)	{{example}}	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.

to convert a list of wikilinks into a comma-separated list of QIDs. Currently this will not work if the wikilink is to a redirect, but this should be working shortly. If no QID is found then an HTML comment will be left in the article to alert you.

 {{subst:Article list/convert|
 * [[Link 1]]
 * [[Link 2|Pipe]], etc.
