Template:Whoops

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template helpfully insults the intelligence of people who might be looking for a different article.

Proper usage

Example:

{{Whoops|Article title}}

which produces

Multiple links

This template supports anywhere from one to five entries. To add more, just do it like this:

{{Whoops|Article title|Page name|Okay, we get it now|This joke isn't funny anymore|I WILL KILL YOU}}

This produces:

Alternate text

You may also use the alt1, alt2, alt3, alt4, and alt5 parameter(s) to provide alternate text for your link(s). Example:

{{Whoops|Saturn is a Lying Bitch|alt1=a lying bitch}}

Which gives you:

The number corresponds to the index of the unnamed parameter you used for the link, i.e. the first link address corresponds with alt1. Alternatively, you can use the magic word {{!}} and create alt text thusly:

{{Whoops|Saturn is a Lying Bitch{{!}}a lying bitch}}

Which gives you:

Improper usage

Once upon a time it was only possible to use one entry per usage of the template, so pages tended to get spammed with several instances of {{Whoops}}. If you see a page with multiple instances of this template, please eliminate unfunny ones and condense them into single templates. If you have to have more than five links, you're probably doing it wrong.
