Module:Main list/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Main list.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This module produces a "For a more comprehensive list, see [...]" link. It implements the {{main list}} template.

Use from wikitext

This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{main list}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.

Use from other Lua modules

Load the module:

local mMainList = require('Module:Main list')

You can then use the _mainList function like this:

mMainList._mainList (page1, page2)

The page1 variable is the page to be linked to, and is required. The page name can include a section link if desired. If the page includes a section link, it is automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.

The page2 variable is optional; it is a second page link.

mMainList._mainList ('Wikipedia:Hatnote#Hatnote templates')

<div class="hatnote">For a more comprehensive list, see [[Wikipedia:Hatnote#Hatnote templates|Wikipedia:Hatnote § Hatnote templates]].</div>
