Module:Main

Module documentation[view][edit][history][purge]

This documentation is transcluded from Module:Main/doc. Changes can be proposed in the talk page.

Module:Main's function main is invoked by Template:Main.

Module:Main requires 3 modules: Module:Arguments, Module:Hatnote, and Module:Hatnote list.

L 15 — p.main L 40 — p._main

This template is imported from the English Wikipedia. Although the visual appearance might be different, the functionality is identical. Please refer to the Module:Main page on Wikipedia for detailed documentation.

Module:Main produces a link to a main article or articles. It implements the {{main}} template. Normally, it produces a link like "Main article: A". If used in the category namespace, it produces a link like "The main article for this category is A". It is possible to specify multiple articles, and in this case plural wording is used automatically. If the first link is not an article, the module uses the wording "Main page" instead of "Main article". See Module:Main on Wikipedia for more details.
