Transclude lead excerpt transcludes the lead of an article as an excerpt. It is designed for use in portals, stand-alone lists and outlines. It returns the text of the named article up to but excluding the first header, after removing:
It is also used to share the lead section between the pages of a multi-page glossary.
{{Transclude lead excerpt | 1= | paragraphs= | files= | fileargs= | errors= }}
The template requires one parameter: the name of the page to be transcluded. Include a namespace where necessary. There are no other positional parameters, but there are some optional named parameters:
paragraphs=1,3-5
; the default is all paragraphs.files=1
; the default is no images. Non-free images are removed.fileargs=left
to move images to the left; the default is none.errors=
to allow Lua error messages to appear in the outputparagraphs= and files= each accept a comma-separated list containing numbers and/or number ranges in the format min-max. Alternatively, files= can accept the name of a single image, e.g. files=My image file.jpg
.
|more=no
– to suppress link to the article at the end of the excerpt. |more=custom text
to customize the link text at the end of the excerpt. Default is "Full article...".keepSubsections=1
will cause Article#Section to retain any subsections of that sectionkeepRefs=1
will keep references for display in a {{reflist}} or similarnobold=1
will cause bold text to be displayed in normal fontEach page to be transcluded may be specified either plain or as a wikilink, possibly piped. Links to sections also work, and extract the named section rather than the lead. Examples: Article
; Article#Section
; [[Article]]
; [[Article#Section|A section of an article]]
. (Any piped text will be ignored.)
Any of the above formats may be followed by option(s) separated by pipes, e.g. Article|paragraphs=2
. Such options override any global options for the given page only. Note that the characters |
and =
have special meaning within calls to templates but can be escaped using {{!}} and {{=}} respectively. Examples: Article#Section{{!}}files{{=}}2
; [[Article|Some page]]{{!}}files{{=}}3,4{{!}}more{{=}}Click here
. (=
need not be escaped if the parameter is explicitly numbered, e.g. 1=Article{{!}}files=2
).
Special characters such as pipes within page options must be doubly escaped, replacing their double braces by {{((}} and {{))}}. For example, to set display Custom image.jpg on the left with a custom caption, set fileargs to left|Custom caption
using Article{{!}}files{{=}}Custom image.jpg{{!}}fileargs{{=}}left{{((}}!{{))}}Custom caption
. To add a wikilink within a caption, escape the link brackets and any pipe twice using {{!((}}, {{))!}} and possibly {{!}}, e.g. Caption with {{((}}!(({{))}}Pipe (computer science){{((}}!{{))}}piped{{((}}))!{{))}} link
. This text can be achieved more simply using {{Doubly escaped wikilink}}, e.g. Caption with {{Doubly escaped wikilink|Pipe (computer science)|piped}} link
.
