- switch:
Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".Template:Str ≤ len| 10 = PAGENAMEBASE| 11 = {{ Template:Str left Template:Str sub| 01 = PAGENAMEBASE| 00 = Template:PAGENAMEBASE}}
Can also pass an optional page parameter:
{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo (bar)}}→ "{{
- switch:
Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".Template:Str ≤ len| 10 = PAGENAMEBASE| 11 = {{ Template:Str left Template:Str sub| 01 = PAGENAMEBASE| 00 = Template:PAGENAMEBASE}}"
{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo bar}}→ "{{
- switch:
Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".Template:Str ≤ len| 10 = PAGENAMEBASE| 11 = {{ Template:Str left Template:Str sub| 01 = PAGENAMEBASE| 00 = Template:PAGENAMEBASE}}"
