Caption2

This template is used on 65,000+ pages, and changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in a user subpage, and consider discussing changes at the talk page before implementing them.

When a Wikipedia article is large, it is often rewritten in summary style. This template is used below the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been (or will be) summarised.

This template is not to be used as a substitute for inline links or as a "see also". Its usage should be restricted to the purpose described above.

Usage

 {{main |Article 1 }} 

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

 {{main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 }} 

For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', eg. l1 not 11:

 {{main |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |Article 4 |Article 5 |Article 6 |Article 7 |Article 8 |Article 9 |Article 10 |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 |l6=Article 6 link appearance |l7=Article 7 link appearance |l8=Article 8 link appearance |l9=Article 9 link appearance |l10=Article 10 link appearance }}
