This template uses Lua: |
Transclude linked excerpt transcludes the lead of an article as an excerpt. It is designed for use in portals. It returns the text of an article up to but excluding the first header, after removing:
- initial templates such as infoboxes, hatnotes and article improvement tags
- noinclude sections
- references and footnotes
- images, unless specifically retained
Usage
{{Transclude linked excerpt | 1= | section= | sectiononly= | paragraphs= | files= | fileargs= | errors= }}
Parameters
The template accepts one page name as an unnamed parameter. Wikilinks are collected from that page, or a section of it. One wikilink is selected randomly, and its destination is transcluded. (If the selected page is invalid, the template will choose again.) Include a namespace where necessary. There are no other positional parameters, but there are some optional named parameters:
- A section name such as
section=Featured articles
; the default is to collect wikilinks from all sections.- A flag
sectiononly=yes
to exclude subsections.
- A flag
- A list of paragraphs such as
paragraphs=1,3-5
; the default is all paragraphs. - A list of file (image) numbers such as
files=1
; the default is no images. Non-free images are removed. - Arguments to pass to File: such as
fileargs=left
to move images to the left; the default is none. errors=
to allow Lua error messages to appear in the outputshowall=
to show all articles simultaneouslylist=
to show a list of articles Coding not compatible with mobile versions of OODA WIKI causing display and accessibility problems
paragraphs=
and files=
each accept a comma-separated list containing numbers and/or number ranges in the format min-max. Alternatively, files=
can accept the name of a single image, e.g. files=My image file.jpg
.
showall=
shows all articles simultaneously. This option is intended for a subpage aimed at editors as well as readers. Using this template on a subpage with <noinclude>|showall=</noinclude>
and transcluding the subpage on a main page will show all excerpts on the subpage but only one on the main page, without repeating the template and its arguments.
