Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
Displays a "see also" link to one or more pages, followed by a line break, if the page exists. If none of the supplied pages exist, the template does nothing.
It allows the creation of links to pages which do not exist yet, but which will be displayed if and when the page is created. This is useful when articles/topics are being developed, because editors do not have to guess whether a target page is likely to exist any time soon: the link can be created now, rather than having to edit the page again later.
Usage
- Usual syntax
{{See also if exists|page}}{{See also if exists|page1|page2|page3|...}}
