Template:Pagelist
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage[edit]
This template creates a comma-separated list of pages formatted as links. The last two pages in the list are separated by "and" instead of a comma. Any number of pages may be included in the list.
By default, the namespace of the page including this template is used for each of the links. An optional 'nspace' parameter can be specified to provide a different namespace to use for the links. |nspace=all Makes the parameters namespace-aware, i.e. not default to the mainspace.
Two other optional parameters are supported to provide formatting of the page links. If specified, the delim parameter is included before and after each page name. Optionally, the edelim parameter can specify the delimiter used at the end of the page name—in this case the delim tag is still used for the beginning of the page name.
It is possible to specify a custom separator (instead of a comma) using the separator parameter. It is also possible to specify a custom value to use instead of "and" before the final item using the conjunction parameter. For both of these parameters, there are special values that use the default separators for the language set in users' preferences: dot ( · ), pipe ( | ), comma (, ), or tpt-languages (⧼tpt-languages-separator⧽).
This template is mostly useful from within other templates that accept a variable number of page names, up to twenty pages, as arguments. For example, the page arguments {{{1}}}–{{{10}}} can be passed to this template using {{pagelist|{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}|{{{5|}}}|{{{6|}}}|{{{7|}}}|{{{8|}}}|{{{9|}}}|{{{10|}}}}}. Any parameters not specified to the original template will be passed as empty parameters and not listed by the pagelist template.
