Template:Hidden use/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Hidden use (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 |
This template is used on over 1500 pages. Changes to this template may cause some server load, and mistakes will be visible on many pages. Please carefully test any edits before making them, and avoid making unnecessary edits. |
Usage
editWhen one or more pages are used in a way that does not automatically show up in the using page's Special:WhatLinkshere, use this template to create invisible links to the used page. This happens, for example, when a template is used on a page as an editintro or preload, or when a category is specified in a dynamic page list.
Specify the names of the used pages as unnamed parameters; if no names are specified, this template generates a very visible error message.
Don't use this template to mark a page dependency in a javascript or Lua page; instead, just provide a comment linking to the page depended upon.
If optional parameter show is non-blank, the links are visible rather than hidden; this may aid in debugging.
Note that {{dialog/button}} automatically creates a hidden link to its target action, without use of this template.
Internals
editAfter checking that at least one name was specified, this template delegates via Module:TScope#map to subtemplate {{Hidden use/single}}.
