Examples/Parameter: format (example 3): Difference between revisions

This will list articles in [[:Category:Number examples]] that linkto the article named [[Two]]. The results will be limited to a count of five, and the format made into a table by doing the following in the format statement (whose syntax is: <code>format = ''Startall'',''Start'',''End'',''Endall''</code>):

* <code><nowiki>{|</nowiki></code> in <code>''Startall''</code> position of the syntax, to specify the wikitext to begin a table.

* <code><nowiki>¶¦-¶¦</nowiki></code> followed by <code><nowiki>[[%PAGE%]]</nowiki></code> in the <code>''Start''</code> position of the syntax, to specify the wikitext to begin a table row and cell, followed by a link to the page.

* The <code>''End''</code> position of the syntax is intentionally omitted because there is no wikitext required to end a table row.

* <code><nowiki>¶|}</nowiki></code> in the "Endall" position of the syntax, to specify the table-end wikitext.

</pre>

'''Notes:'''

* <code>''Start''</code> position of the <code>format=</code> syntax starts and formats a row of output, which is then applied to ''each'' item in the result set.

* In the case of results outside of the ''Main'' namespace, such as in the "Category" namespace, if "Category:" is not desired in the page title/link, <code><nowiki>[[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]</nowiki></code> can be used instead.

* The {{DPL|table}} parameter, in combination with {{DPL|tablerow}} and the {{DPL|include}}/{{DPL|includepage}} parameter, can also be used to output table syntax.
