| This module is rated as alpha. It is ready for third-party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched. Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome. |
This module automatically increments numbered template parameters. This is useful for inserting new rows into infobox templates, and for other similar tasks where renaming many parameters by hand would be tedious.
Usage
Due to the way templates work, you cannot pass template input to this module in the normal way. Instead, you have to edit the module page directly to get the desired result. Please follow the seven steps listed in the module code.
Once you have finished editing the module, you can use it on any page, with the code:
{{subst:#invoke:IncrementParams|main}}
You can also view it as pre-formatted text using the pre parameter. Warning - this doesn't work with subst.
{{#invoke:IncrementParams|main|pre=yes}}
Or you can simply copy and paste the code from the following section.
Output
The module currently outputs the following text:
|header4 = Section 1 |label6 = Label A |data6 = Data A |label8 = Label C |data8 = Data C |header11 = Section 2 |label13 = Label D |data13 = Data D
