Usage
The purpose of this template is to gain the value of a template's parameter (named or numbered) 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 works with named or numbered parameters; i.e. it can get the first parameter of {{Start date}} (the year). This template is case-sensitive; i.e. setting |Viewers= will not match |viewers=. Make sure that you are listing the article where the template exists, not where it's transcluded to.
Basic Syntax
{{Template parameter value|ARTICLE|TEMPLATE|TEMPLATE-COUNT|PARAMETER|PARAMETER-COUNT}}
Examples
- 24th usage of |OriginalAirDate= in the 3rd usage of {{Episode table}} in List of Lucifer episodes
{{Template parameter value|List of Lucifer episodes|Episode table|3|OriginalAirDate|24}}
- 2nd usage of |archiveurl= in the 1st usage of {{Series overview}} in List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes
{{Template parameter value|List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes|Series overview||archive-url|2}}
- 1st usage of |LineColor= in the 2nd usage of {{Episode list/sublist}} in Vikings (season 4)
{{Template parameter value|Vikings (season 4)|Episode list/sublist|2|LineColor}}
- 1st usage of |num_episodes= in the 1st usage of {{Infobox television}} in 12 Monkeys (TV series)
{{Template parameter value|12 Monkeys (TV series)|Infobox television||num_episodes}}
- 3rd parameter in the 8th usage of {{Start date}} in The Big Bang Theory
{{Template parameter value|The Big Bang Theory|Start date|8|3}}
Template data
A template to grab the value of parameters from templates on a page
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page | 1 | The page to grab templates from | Page name | required |
| Templates | 2 | The templates to look for in the target page. Can be provided in a comma split list to check for multiple templates | String | required |
| Template index | 3 | Which occurance of the template to check for parameters in | Number | optional |
| Parameter | 4 | The name of the parameter to check for | String | required |
| Parameter index | 5 | Which occurance of the parameter to check for in the template. Does not apply if "Ignore subtemplates" is used | Number | optional |
| Ignore subtemplates | ignore_subtemplates ist | Giving this a value will make the template ignores subtemplates and their parameters when looking for a value in a template. Can be used for more precise grabbing of parameters as opposed to using a parameter index
| Boolean | optional |
| Ignore blank values | ignore_blank | Ignores keys with blank values when deciding which index of a parameter to use. This option does nothing when using ignore_subtemplates
| Boolean | optional |
| Only subtemplates | only_subtemplates | The inverse to ignore_subtemplates. Only keys that are in subtemplates of the template requested will be considered. ignore_subtemplates will take precedence over this option if both are enabled
| Boolean | optional |
| Don't process | dontprocess | If enabled, the returning result won't be processed into wikitext, and will be returned as raw data.
| Boolean | optional |
