Editing Template:Redirect-several/doc

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{esoteric}}
This template can be used on pages which are the [[wikipedia:WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT]] for several terms which also have corresponding disambiguation pages. This template is compatible with up to 10 redirects. It can also be used targeting non-disambiguation articles, although it adds <code> (disambiguation)</code> to the end of each of its parameters by default. This can be modified through the <code>dab</code> parameter. It can also be used without linking at all by changing the <code>link</code> parameter, which may be useful on pages which have many redirects and other usages, but which all follow a regular pattern. The <code>text</code> parameter should also be used in such circumstances, to describe the titles of the redirects.

== Usage ==
=== Full inline format ===
<code><nowiki>{{Redirect-several |link= |dab= |text= |see= |OtherUse1 |OtherUse2 |OtherUse3 |OtherUse4 |OtherUse5 |OtherUse6 |OtherUse7 |OtherUse8 |OtherUse9 |OtherUse10}}</nowiki></code>

=== Full vertical format ===
<code><nowiki>{{Redirect-several</nowiki></code><br>
:<code><nowiki>|link = <!-- whether the targets should be linked to or not; defaults to 'yes' --></nowiki><br><nowiki>
|dab  = <!-- toggles whether to put " (disambiguation)" on the end of the targets' links; defaults to 'yes' --></nowiki><br> <nowiki>
|text = <!-- optional text to put after the word "terms" (e.g. several terms </nowiki>''about how to cook poridge''<nowiki> redirect here.) --></nowiki><br> <nowiki>
|see  = <!-- optional changing of the verb before the first use; defaults to 'see' --></nowiki><br> <nowiki>
|       <!-- the first alternative page --></nowiki><br><nowiki>
|       <!-- the second alternative page --></nowiki><br><nowiki>
|       <!-- the third alternative page --></nowiki><br><nowiki>

<code>}}</code>

== Examples ==
===With one to ten filled parameters===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1}}
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2}}
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10}}

===With more than ten parameters===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10|invisible page}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3|REDIRECT4|REDIRECT5|REDIRECT6|REDIRECT7|REDIRECT8|REDIRECT9|REDIRECT10|invisible page}}
'''''Note''' – this template does ''not'' support more than ten parameters. Above is an example of what ''not'' to do.''

===With an empty parameter===
The following template use with three parameters are fine:
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1|REDIRECT2|REDIRECT3}}

However, with three parameters but with an empty the second parameter, a problem arises:
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|REDIRECT1<nowiki>||</nowiki>REDIRECT3}} → {{Redirect-several|REDIRECT1||REDIRECT3}} 

'''''Note:''' This causes only "REDIRECT1" to display since "REDIRECT2" is missing in the empty parameter within the two pipes with no content between them. If an entry is missed, the template only shows the entries before the missing entry. No error message is displayed.''

===With <code>link=off</code>===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|<nowiki>link=off|</nowiki>the contents of [[:Category:Porridge]]|the page of the same name but without the word 'porridge'|another unlinked parameter}} → {{Redirect-several|link=off|the contents of [[:Category:Porridge]]|the page of the same name but without the word 'porridge'|another unlinked parameter}}
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|link=off|TEST1|TEST2|TEST3|TEST4|TEST5|TEST6|TEST7|TEST8|TEST9|TEST10}} → {{Redirect-several|link=off|TEST1|TEST2|TEST3|TEST4|TEST5|TEST6|TEST7|TEST8|TEST9|TEST10}}

===With <code>dab=off</code>===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|<nowiki>dab=off|Porridge Oats</nowiki>|THE TASTIEST FOOD EVER|Martin's porridge (company)}} → {{Redirect-several|dab=off|Porridge Oats|THE TASTIEST FOOD EVER|Martin's porridge (company)}}

===With <code>text</code> parameter===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|<nowiki>dab=off|text=which are names of porridge brands</nowiki>|List of porridge-producing companies|a random other page|an unrelated page}} → {{Redirect-several|dab=off|text=which are names of porridge brands|List of porridge-producing companies|a random other page|an unrelated page}}

===With <code>see</code> parameter===
* {{tlx|Redirect-several|<nowiki>link=off|see=replace|text=containing the word 'porridge'</nowiki>|the word 'porridge' with the word 'oats'}} → {{Redirect-several|link=off|see=replace|text=containing the word 'porridge'|the word 'porridge' with the word 'oats'}}
