Template:Parse source

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

Usage

This template should only be used in {{information}} to parse the source field.

The template tries to match the message based on {{own}}. When a match is made, the message is returned in the user's interface language.

To add a match based on {{own}} add:

|<!-- <lang> -->{{subst:ucfirst:{{subst:lc:Own}}}}

You have to use the lc and ucfirst functions because the switch statement first converts all characters to lowercase and than the first character to uppercase again (to have case insensitive matching).

The use of {{own}} in the information template won't cause a template loop ({{own}} won't match and will just return).
