Template:Numlinks 2-num

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is a metatemplate. It is used to build other templates and should not be used standalone, except for testing or simple usage. This template is implemented by the Lua module Module:Numlinks 2-num.

This template invokes the following functions: numlinks_2_num from Numlinks 2-num.

Template:Numlinks 2-num is intended as a meta-template (a template used to construct other templates), used to build navigational templates. This can be used directly, or by using its corresponding module, Module:Numlinks.

For a numbered page page with two numbers, such as 5L 2s, this template generates links to its next and previous pages, for both numbers. This is meant for pages for which there are no intended gaps in the sequence of pages.

Parameters

Current Num 1 and Current Num 2 (required)

The current number of the page.

Link Format (required)

Link Count 1 and Link Count 2 (optional; default 1)

The number of links to display before and after the current page.

Format for if the current-page text different, where %s denotes the page number.

Is Ordinal 1 and Is Ordinal 2 (optional; default false)
