Template documentation
 |
This is a dialog formatting template. It is meant for use on interactive dialog pages, and may involve interactions between wiki markup, html, and javascript. Please carefully test any edits before making them. |

This template is used on over 1,000 pages. Changes to this template may cause some server load, and mistakes will be visible on many pages. Please carefully test any edits before making them, and avoid making unnecessary edits. |
This template sets up a button to view a given page via action do.
Usage
Parameters:
- page — required — the name of the page to be viewed, used as the
pagedialog parameter to the do action. - label — optional — the text label on the button. If omitted, defaults to
view. - unnamed parameters — optional — dialog parameters passed to the do action when the button is clicked; as with the unnamed parameters to {{dialog/button}}, but currently only up to thirty (two fewer than supported by the other template).
A second, echo button can be provided by this template, by specifying non-blank template parameter echo; the same dialog parameters are passed to the echo action as to the do action, which may aid dialog debugging.
Non-blank template parameter delegable indicates the action of the button may be delegated; delegation is not always possible, and even when possible, the parameter permits it but only requires it if the current page is being viewed via a do action.
Template parameter test may name an action page in userspace to use instead of do. Action pages in userspace are restricted to use by sysops.
Non-blank template parameter rescript causes the button to remove all cached wikidialog javascript functions before performing the action; no effect when delegating; may be used when testing new versions of wikidialog javascript to avoid accidentally mixing new versions of some functions with old versions of others.
Non-blank template parameter sequence marks the button as part of an action-sequence.
Non-blank template parameter live prevents the button from being disabled when it occurs in a non-live preview.
