සැකිල්ල:Transclude selected excerpt
 | මෙම සැකිල්ල ලුවා භාවිතා කරයි: |
Transclude selected excerpt transcludes the lead of an article as an excerpt. It is designed for use in portals. It returns the text of an article up to but excluding the first header, after removing:
- initial templates such as infoboxes, hatnotes and article improvement tags
- noinclude sections
- references and footnotes
- images, unless specifically retained
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]{{Transclude selected excerpt | 1= | 2= | selected= | paragraphs= | files= | fileargs= | more= | errors= }}
The template accepts any number of page names as unnamed parameters. One of them is selected using the selected= parameter, and the page with that title is transcluded. (If the selected page is invalid, the template will choose again.) Include a namespace where necessary. There are no other positional parameters, but there is one mandatory named parameter:
- An integer representing the parameter number of the selected article, such as
selected=3. Ideally the integer will range from 1 to the number of articles named, but the number will be normalised into that range if necessary. {{Date and time templates}} or time parser functions may be useful, for exampleselected={{#time:n}}to use the month number (1–12).
There are some optional named parameters:
- A list of paragraphs such as
paragraphs=1,3-5; the default is all paragraphs. - A list of file (image) numbers such as
files=1; the default is no images. Non-free images are removed. - Arguments to pass to File: such as
fileargs=leftto move images to the left; the default is none. - A link to the article itself such as
more=(more); the default is no link. Short cut:more=produces Read more... errors=to allow Lua error messages to appear in the output
paragraphs= and files= each accept a comma-separated list containing numbers and/or number ranges in the format min-max.
As an alternative, the article names can be given as named parameters. In this case, there will be no unnamed parameters. The desired article is selected using its parameter name. For example, |selected={{#time:Md}}|Jan01=New Year's Day|Jan02=1971 Ibrox disaster|Jan03=... could display an appropriate anniversary, without having to calculate how many days have elapsed in a (possibly leap) year. (#time:Md evaluates to a string representing the current date, e.g. "දෙසැ12".)
