{{Meta appearances}} is an internal link template that by default creates a heading and link to an article's Meta page if it exists. It is intended for use with {{Meta appearances navbox}}, which contains lists of characters and creatures (ie. Meta:Burnt Offerings), but has parameters allowing for other potential uses.

Usage

These uses are all equivalent:

{{Meta appearances}}
{{Meta appearances|Characters and creatures|work|Meta:{{PAGENAME}}|Meta page}}
{{Meta appearances |contents=Characters and creatures |work=work |link=Meta:{{PAGENAME}} |linktext=Meta page }}

If the value of the link parameter is an article title that does not exist, the entire template will not be rendered.

If the optional nohead parameter is assigned any value, the template omits the heading.

For parameter details, see the TemplateData.

Example

In typical usage, using {{Meta appearances}} without parameters should be sufficient.

Ordered parameters, with heading

{{Meta appearances|Cuisine and beverages|recipe book|Meta:Burnt Offerings|recipe}}

Output:

Cuisine and beverages

For a list of cuisine and beverages appearing in this recipe book, see the recipe.

Named parameters, without heading

{{Meta appearances |contents=Cuisine and beverages |work=recipe book |link=Meta:Burnt Offerings |linktext=recipe |nohead=yes}}

Outputs:

For a list of cuisine and beverages appearing in this recipe book, see the recipe.
