Template for checking whether a string contains an abbreviation which can be converted by {{abb}} (for the specified mode). Returns "1" if that is the case and an empty string otherwise.
This is a subtemplate that should not be used on articles
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <unnamed 1> | 1 | Potential game abbreviations which are passed to Template:Abb in order to see whether they return a valid result (text, icon name etc). Up to 10 abbreviations can be specified if separated by split by. | String | required |
| Abb Mode | abbmode | This is passed down directly to Template:Abb and can be used to check whether a valid result for a specific mode is returned. Only valid input for that template's mode parameter will have any effect. | String | optional |
| Split By | split by | This is the character/string which is used as a delimiter for multiple abbrevations in <unnamed 1>, i.e. the character/string which separates the individual abbrevations. Note that spaces at the beginning or end of the string need to be HTML encoded (& #032; without the space in between), and that using | is not recommended.
| String | optional |
