Code[edit]

This template provides a way to specify an alternate location for a page.

Positional parameter 1: The first place to look for the page. If the page exists, this parameter's values is generated.
Positional parameter 2: The first of the alternate name.
Positional parameter 3: The middle of the alternate name.
Positional parameter 4: The end of the alternate name.
size1: The number of pieces from positional parameter 1 to be inserted between the first and middle parts of the alternate name. If this parameter's value is 0, positional parameter 1 is not included in the alternate name. Any other value is used along with the 'part1' parameter are used with #titleparts to extract a portion of positional parameter 1.
part1: See the 'size1' parameter for specifics.
size2 and part2: If either or both of these parameters is specified, they are used with #titleparts to extract a portion of positional parameter 1 for insertion between the middle and end parts of the alternate name. If both parameters are omitted, nothing from positional parameter 1 will be used there.

{{ al | here | there, not }}

would generate 'here' if that page exists. Otherwise it would produce 'there, not here'.

{{ al | here | | or there }}

would generate 'here' if that page exists. Otherwise it would produce 'here or there'.

{{ al | here | there | size1=0}}

would generate 'here' if that page exists. Otherwise it would produce 'there'.

{{ al | User:x/y/junk | User:z/ | size1=-1 }}

would generate 'User:x/y/junk' if that page exists. Otherwise it would produce 'User:z/junk'.

{{ al | User:x/y/junk | User:z/ | part1=2 }}

would generate 'User:x/y/junk' if that page exists. Otherwise it would produce 'User:z/y/junk'.
