Purpose Edit

{{Main}} — When articles become too large, subarticles are usually created. This template, used in the subarticle, uses the name of the main article as a parameter to produce a link to the main article:

Usage Edit

{{main
  |Article 1
}}

You may also include additional links, up to five in total:

{{main
  |Article 1
  |Article 2
  |Article 3
  |Article 4
  |Article 5
}}

For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is mostly intended for articles whose titles suffer from technical limitations):

{{main
  |Article 1
  |Article 2
  |Article 3
  |Article 4
  |Article 5
  |l1=Article 1 link appearance
  |l2=Article 2 link appearance
  |l3=Article 3 link appearance
  |l4=Article 4 link appearance
  |l5=Article 5 link appearance
}}

Example Edit

{{Main|Article}}

{{Main|Article1|Article2|Article3}}

{{Main|Article1|Article2|Article3|Article4|Article5}}

{{Main|2003 UB313|l1={{mp|2003 UB|313}}}}
