NOTE (These notes are not displayed during template-use.)

• Click the "EDIT" button to see the entire template-code, some of which is not visible above the line.
• Variable "1" is the forum-specific portion of the URL.
• Variable "2" is the text name of the forum.
• Variable "3" exists only because the #if: construct is not active in the Wiki at this time. Variable "3" is used...
  • ...when the Wiki forum is the only forum appropriate for discussing the current Wiki page (i.e. when "{{{2}}} Forum" should be excluded from the sentence).
    • To use variable "3" in this manner, simply include the correct number of variable-separators (vertical bar) during the template-call, but do not pass a value in position 3. See Example 2 below.
  • ...when replacing the "{{{2}}} Forum" link with unlinked boiler-plate text, prior to the "Wiki-forum" link.
    • To use variable "3" in this manner, simply include the correct number of variable-separators (vertical bar) during the template-call, and pass the boiler-plate text as the value in position 3. See Example 3 below.
