Template:Get parameter

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

This template fetches a parameter value from a template call on a specified page: {{Get parameter | x | y | z}} gets parameter x from the call of template y on page z. It's an alternate implementation of {{Template parameter value}}, which while it doesn't work (and will likely produce garbage) if the page the parameter value is being fetched from contains more than a call to the template specified and some <noinclude>d values, it can, on the other hand, handle piped links and other more complicated wikitext that {{template parameter value}} can't handle.

E.g.:

• {{get parameter|inventors|Infobox instrument|Template:Infobox saxophone}} → Adolphe Sax
