| − | __NOTOC__
| |
| − | ==Purpose of template==
| |
| − | When [[Wikipedia:What is an article|Wikipedia article]]s
| |
| − | become too large, subarticles are usually created. This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]], used in the subarticle, uses the name of the main article as a [[m:Help:Template#Parameters|parameter]] to produce a link to the main article:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | {{main|Article}}
| |
| − | </nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | will produce
| |
| − | {{main|Article}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | To reference multiple articles, the {{tl|main articles}} template can be used instead, as so:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>
| |
| − | {{main articles}} [[a]], [[b]], [[c]]
| |
| − | </nowiki> | |
| − | | |
| − | which produces:
| |
| − | {{main articles}} [[a]], [[b]], [[c]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Comparison with related templates ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following two are meant to be used in connection with each other:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * At the top of a brief section concerning a subject that has a more detailed article (this is the only form specified by the [[Wikipedia:Summary style|Wikipedia Manual of Style]]);
| |
| − | * ''or'' at the top of the specialized article, to refer to the more general article: {{tiwt|main}}
| |
| − | * at the top or bottom of a section of the more general article, to refer to the specialized article: {{tiwt|see details}}
| |
| − | ---- | |
| − | The following set of two is an alternative:
| |
| − | *{{tiwt|subarticleof}}
| |
| − | *{{tiwt|seesubarticle}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==References==
| |
| − | * [[Wikipedia:Long article layout]]
| |
| − | * [[Wikipedia:Summary style]]
