Template:Formatting error/doc

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Outputs an error message in red into the page. An anchor (FormattingError) is inserted at the start of the error message, so you can find any errors on a page easily by adding #FormattingError at the end of the URL (e.g. Blah#FormattingError). Used in complex templates that check their arguments for validity, so incorrect use can be spotted while editing a page or afterwards.

Usage[edit source]

  • {{Formatting error|error message}}

This template can be evaluated using the {{#iferror}} parser function:

  • {{#iferror:{{val|XX}}|error|OK}}error
