Template:Format item/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Format item. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template uses Lua: |
This template transforms a given item using a given template.
Usage
{{Format item | item = Item | template = TransformationTemplate | ... }}
TransformationTemplate is called with the arguments that the item has been created with, plus any additional arguments passed to {{Format item}}. Contents of the item take precedence over the additional arguments, unless the argument name is prepended with Template:Nodisplayimportant Template:Nodisplay. If the argument name collides with the arguments of {{Format item}} itself, prepend it with Template:Nodisplayparam Template:Nodisplay. There is no need to combine Template:Pre-wrapand Template:Nodisplayimportant Template:Nodisplay, though.
It is also possible to transform multiple items at once, but not with this template.
