Template:If then wikilink

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

If the first unnamed parameter is not an empty string, the template returns it as a piped wiki-link using the |prefix= as a namespace or interwiki prefix. Otherwise it returns the second unnamed parameter.

This is only useful when the first parameter is a {{#invoke: }} of a Lua module that may return a value or nothing. Because it uses the {{#invoke: }} just once, it simplifies the coding of infoboxes and reduces the calls to a module.

Example

• {{If then wikilink |{{#invoke:WikidataIB |getSiteLink |wiki=enwikisource |qid=Q56862211}} | prefix=s:en:}} → [[s:en: | ]]
