Template:Error/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Error (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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[edit]
- {{error|An exemplary error}} → An exemplary error
- Compare, used in a Parser Function:
{{#expr:Foo}}→ Expression error: Unrecognized word "foo".
Tag option[edit]
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 → ABC An exemplary error demo divXYZ
- ABC {{error|An exemplary error demo p|tag=p}} XYZ → ABC
An exemplary error demo p
XYZ - ABC {{error|An exemplary error demo strong|tag=strong}} XYZ → ABC An exemplary error demo strong XYZ
