The purpose of this Template:Fe (foreach) is to repeatedly use a template for each argument in a pipe delimited list.

It is a version of Template:Foreach that uses Module:Foreach. It allows the delimiter to be one or more blank spaces, or have these at the start and/or end of it. It also has no limit on the number of list items it can handle.

Example

Create comma delimited links to each hook in a list:

{{fe|SeeHook|, |ParserBeforeStrip|ParserAfterStrip}} → [[Manual:Hooks/ParserBeforeStrip{{#translation:}}|ParserBeforeStrip]], [[Manual:Hooks/ParserAfterStrip{{#translation:}}|ParserAfterStrip]]

Compare:

{{foreach|SeeHook|ParserBeforeStrip|ParserAfterStrip|delim=,}} → [[Manual:Hooks/ParserBeforeStrip{{#translation:}}|ParserBeforeStrip]],[[Manual:Hooks/ParserAfterStrip{{#translation:}}|ParserAfterStrip]]

Usage

{{fe|templatename|delim|item1[|item2]...}}
  • templatename - the name of a template that takes at least one parameter. Only the first parameter will be used, so the remaining parameters must be optional.
  • delim - a delimiter that should be inserted between the results of applying the template templatename to the list items; the parameter is compulsory but it can be the empty string
  • item1 - the first item to pass to the template, resulting in {{templatename|item1}}
  • item2,... - (optional) the second and following items to pass to the template, resulting in {{templatename|item2}}, etc.
