Template Substitution
[edit]{{harv|Hilliard|Keith|1999|p=43}}
This is a template syntax. Since the template uses #invoke:, I couldn’t intuitively see what the output would look like, so I used subst:. However, instead of showing the rendered result, it only displayed the template syntax itself. Could you help me see the actual output? (My original goal is to implement the template as-is without using the #invoke: syntax.)

{{{case: ~ }}}
[edit]What does {{{case: ~ }}} mean in {{{case: {{{1|}}}|{{{default|}}}}}}? (from this)
I already asked a question on the help desk, and they advised me to ask here. Whatback11 (talk) 14:59, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
{{{case: ~ }}}would mean the value of the template parameter namedcase: ~.{{{case: {{{1|}}}}}}would mean the value of a template parameter whose name is based on the value of parameter1.That very old template was intended to be used something like{{switch| value | case: a = something | case: b = something else | case: c = etc | default = a default value }}, and the{{{case: {{{1|}}}|{{{default|}}}}}}handled selecting the appropriate named parameter based on the passed invalue. These days we have mw:Extension:ParserFunctions that lets the same thing be done more efficiently (and with slightly different syntax) using #switch. Anomie⚔ 16:08, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
Toggle effect

- @Whatback11: You mean the "toggle background" button? See mw:Manual:Collapsible elements/Demo/Advanced. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:20, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
