Features

Affiliates bar

Added per version 1.0. The "affiliates" list on the Sidebar. It uses the message, MediaWiki:Affiliatesbar to construct a list of titles, links and images to associate with the affiliate in question.

As per Table:Affiliates icons, the very workings of this feature is subject to change in the future.

Natural language list parser function

Added per version 1.1. Added a {{#list}} parser function, it's intention is to create lists intended natural language version of a list of items, e.g. 1, 2, 3, ... n-1 and n.

Use

First parameter

The first parameter is special and is a configuration variable, therefore, two parameters must always be supplied. The first parameter defines whether the list should ignore duplicates or not. Per default it won't. 1 and true are accepted for yes and all others will be assumed to be false.

Ignoring duplicates

{{#list:true|1|2|1|3|1|4}}

{{#list:true|1|2|1|3|1|4}}

Not ignoring duplicates

{{#list:false|1|2|1|3|1|4}}

{{#list:false|1|2|1|3|1|4}}

1 element

The system allows for a single element, in which case, it is simply just return the element.

{{#list:true|1}}

{{#list:true|1}}

2 elements

In this case, the short ' and ' is applied between them, but no commas.

{{#list:true|1|2}}

{{#list:true|1|2}}

3 and more elements

As seen in the examples above. Blank elements are also ignored.

{{#list:true|1|2||4||6}}

{{#list:true|1|2||4||6}}
