Template:Main/doc

This template is for linking to main content. For the mainspace detection template, see Template:Main other.

When a Zoophilia Wiki article is large, it is often written in summary style. This template is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the subtopic article that has been summarized. Use of this template is not to be used as a substitute for inline links or the {{Further}} template. The latter is used when the section expounds a specific aspect of the topic instead of summarizing its article. This template should also not be used in lead sections.

Usage

• Basic usage: {{Main|page}}
• All parameters: {{Main|page1|page2|page3| … |l1=label1|l2=label2|l3=label3| … |selfref=yes}}

The module which provides the functions for this template can be called directly using #invoke).

Parameters

• 1, 2, 3, … – the pages to link to. If no page names are specified, the current page name is used instead (without the namespace prefix). Categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as Page § Section, rather than the MediaWiki default of Page#Section.
• l1, l2, l3, … or label 1, label 2, label 3, … – optional labels for each of the pages to link to (providing the same functionality as a piped link). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case L, for example, l1, not L1.
• selfref – if set to yes, y, true or 1, adds the CSS class selfref to the links. This is used to denote self-references to Zoophilia Wiki. See Template:Selfref for more information. This is only necessary in articles and other content (e.g. templates) that will appear in articles, and need not be added for uses of this template on Zoophilia Wiki: namespace pages.
