ਫਰਮਾ:For-multi
 | ਇਹ ਫਰਮਾ ਹੇਠ ਲਿਖੇ ਲੂਆ ਨੂੰ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਹੈ: |
{{For-multi}} is a hatnote template that produces a list of alternative uses for the title of the article and links to articles about those uses. It is similar to {{For}} with the primary difference being this template allows multiple uses to be listed while still being able to link to multiple articles per use. It is essentially the same as {{About}} but without the about clause at the start.
Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]0 parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]When no parameters are provided, this template functions the exact same as {{Other uses}}. It is preferred to use that template as it more clearly explains the output of the function.
{{For-multi}} is:
Comparison to other templates:
This is the same as using{{Other uses}}:
One or two parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]When one or two parameters are provided, this template functions the exact same as {{For}}. It is preferred to use that template as the "multi" functionality of this template is not required.
1 Parameter
[ਸੋਧੋ]{{For-multi|UseA}} yields:
Comparison to other templates:
This is identical to passing the same arguments to{{For}}. For example, {{For|UseA}} yields:
2 Parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]{{For-multi|UseA|ArticleA}} yields:
Comparison to other templates:
This is identical to passing the same arguments to{{For}}. For example, {{For|UseA|ArticleA}} yields:
3 or more parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]When three or more parameters are provided, this template can be used. Functionally, it is the same as {{About}}, but without the about clause at the beginning. Per the guideline at WP:HNS, it is up to the editor to decide whether or not the hatnote should contain a brief summary (i.e. whether or not the hatnote should use {{For-multi}} or {{About}}) based on their preference and what is likely to be clearer and easier for the reader.
With three parameters, the output of
{{For-multi|UseA|ArticleA|UseB}}
Comparison to other templates:
The output of{{For-multi|UseA|ArticleA|UseB}} is different from {{For}} provided with three parameters where {{For|UseA|ArticleA|ArticleB}} yields:
As you can see, this function is able to output multiple uses, unlike {{For}}. {{About}} also produces the same output, but with an about clause at the beginning. For example, {{About|About|UseA|ArticleA|UseB}} yields:
Technically, {{About}} can be used by passing an empty first parameter, but this isn't recommended as the wikitext {{About||UseA|ArticleA|UseB}} doesn't make it clear what the output is going to be and what the purpose of the template is as, in this case, the name of the template "About" is misleading. Using it this way would look like:
Multiple articles per use
[ਸੋਧੋ]Multiple articles can be used per use by putting a parameter with the content and between them. For example, the wikitext
{{For-multi|UseA|ArticleA|and|ArticleB|and|ArticleC|UseB|ArticleD|and|ArticleE}}
Last parameter
[ਸੋਧੋ]When the last parameter is a "use", the current article plus (disambiguation) will be linked to at the end of the template. For example,
{{For-multi|UseA|ArticleA|UseB}}
The above example produces a link to ਫਰਮਾ:For-multi (disambiguation) at the end.
