This template is used in MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-semicolon, and on approximately 437,000 pages, or roughly 7924% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
Meta template that returns the first parameter if evaluated during substitution, and the second parameter if evaluated during transclusion.
Note that this template must be used in safesubst mode to work properly:
{{ safesubst:<noinclude/>ifsubst| yes | no }}
The |demo=
parameter can be used for testing the template. Set |demo=yes
to always display the yes text, |demo=no
to always display the no text, or |demo={{{demo|}}}
to pass through the value from the parent template.
