Module:Sidebar

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

This module implements a metatemplate, and may be invoked by templates using its corresponding template Template:Sidebar, or used directly from other modules.

Module:Sidebar is a module that implements the {{Sidebar}} template. Sidebar templates can be made by using the template or by calling the _sidebar function from another module.

On templates, you can create a sidebar by using {{Sidebar}}, which calls this module's wrapper function.

On modules, you can include local sidebar = require("Module:Sidebar")._sidebar to create a sidebar.
