User:Flashjay/templates/Template:D

This template extracts the content ("data") from an field in an infobox, on the same or on another page.

It only works with infoboxes that have been data-enabled, such as User:Flashjay/templates/Template:Data-E Infobox.

Typically this is used within other templates to automatically populate information. It is especially useful when used within a {{#foreach:}} construct, to iterate through a list of pages and produce a table or other type of richly formatted list, directly from the data supplied by the infoboxes.

Use

The template has the following two methods of use.

{{d|Field}}
{{d|Page|Field}}

The first variant extracts a value from the current page (note that when previewing a page, it will extract the value from the most recently saved copy.)

The second variant extracts a field from another page entirely.
