This is a documentation subpage for Template:Error. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template uses Lua: |
The template returns a state of error (recognized as such by a wiki parser function), and optionally an error-message text in red (visible for the user).
Usage
{{error|An exemplary error}}
→ An exemplary error{{error|message=An exemplary error}}
→ An exemplary error- Compare, used in a Parser Function:
{{#expr:Foo}}
→ Expression error: Unrecognized word "foo". {{#iferror:{{error|Foo}} | {{y}} | {{n}} }}
→
Tag option
The tag to contain the error message can be given through the tag
parameter, but it will only accept span
, div
, p
, and strong
, since those are the only tags recognized by the #iferror
parser function. It defaults to strong
, the tag generated e.g. by #expre
. To prevent strong
message, use one of the other tags, e.g. tag=span
.
- ABC
{{error|An exemplary error demo no tag (default)}}
XYZ → ABC An exemplary error demo no tag (default) XYZ - ABC
{{error|An exemplary error demo span|tag=span}}
XYZ → ABC An exemplary error demo span XYZ - ABC
{{error|An exemplary error demo div|tag=div}}
XYZ → ABCAn exemplary error demo divXYZ - ABC
{{error|An exemplary error demo p|tag=p}}
XYZ → ABCAn exemplary error demo p
XYZ - ABC
{{error|An exemplary error demo strong|tag=strong}}
XYZ → ABC An exemplary error demo strong XYZ
