Template:Main
From MozillaWiki
Main article: [[{{{1}}}]]
Template documentationUsage
{{main}} displays a link that points the reader towards the more substantial main article for further reading. The output text is indented and italic.
The template is useful, e.g. when an article section takes up something that already is thoroughly explained in a main article, or when an article includes a citation from another article at MozillaWiki. It is meant to make it easier to include internal references, and to lessen the need for over-extensive article sections and parallel articles.
Parameter
