Template:Mli

{{#invoke:[[Module:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}

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

The Module Link Invocation template is a simple macro template used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the #invoke parser function, thus showing the module name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a module by name without invoking it. A short example of its use is:

{{mli|Example|main}}

which generates

{{#invoke:Example|main}}
