The LoopFunctions extension will enable limited looping functionality in the wikitext, where a variable ($n$ by default) is replaced by the current iteration number of the loop.
The variable can be used in a plain text or link.
Also the result of the whole loop can be put in an expression, e.g. to compute a factorial.
However, the loop body is evaluated before replacing the variable, so e.g. a computation inside the loop body, depending on the value of the variable, is not possible.
Functions
#for
{{#for: n | text }}
Where n is the count of iteration and the text is the text to be repeated.
{{#for: n | text | replacement parameter }}
If, after expansion of templates, parser functions, and variables, the text contains the text $n$ or what is defined by the third parameter, that will be replaced by the current iteration, starting with 1.
Watch out for gaps, because code But same code with spaces |
Using in templates
Calling the template {{foo | n=4 | list1=a | list3=c | list4=d }}, if template foo containing: {{#for: {{{n}}} | {{{list$n$}}}<br/>}}, will result in the wikitext: a<br/>b<br/>c<br/>d<br/>
Using for calculations
Sum of squares 1^2 through 5^2: {{#expr:{{#for:5|+$n$*$n$}}}} gives 55
Factorial 6 (6!): {{#expr:1{{#for:6|*$n$}}}} gives 720
Compare, using m:Template:for and m:Template:plus square: {{#expr:{{for|call=plus square|pv=1|1|2|3|4|5}}}} gives 55
for, not #for.Limitation
In the loop body, templates, parser functions, and variables are expanded before replacing the index variable by its values, i.e.:
- Parameter of a parser function depending on the index variable
-
Code {{#for:3|{{lc:Ab$n$}}}} gives ab1ab2ab3; the result is in this case the same as when the repetition was done first, and then the evaluation of each item.
Code {{#for:3|{{uc:Ab$n$}}}} gives AB$N$AB$N$AB$N$; the result is in this case not the same, because $n$ is changed to $N$, and therefore not treated as index variable.
Applying #expr to an expression containing the index variable does not work: expansion of #expr in e.g. {{#expr:2*$n$}} gives the text so this text will be repeated:
Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "$"
- Template name depending on the index variable
-
Code {{#for:3|{{a$n$}}}} gives:
- if the template with the literal name
Template:a$n$does not exist: Template:a1 Template:a2 Template:a3 (the loop body is evaluated as Template:a$n$, after which the loop function repeats that, substituting$n$).
- if the template with the literal name
if the template with the literal name Template:a$n$ does exist: the result of {{a*$n$}}{{a*$n$}}{{a*$n$}}, i.e., the content is repeated unchanged.
- Limitation in combination with Erweiterung:Variables
- Within the loop a variable can be assigned a value depending on the loop variable, and the value of this variable can be retrieved.
- However, it seems that within the loop the variable cannot be assigned a new value depending on its own current value. Instead the value on entering the loop is taken.
#foreach
Function only for template use.
{{#foreach: mask | text }}
{{#foreach: mask | text | replacement parameter }}
The mask is a string in the format prefix$n$suffix where $n$ can be changed via the replacement parameter.
The function #foreach, called inside a template, will produce the text for $n$ = 1, 2, 3,... as long as prefix$n$suffix is a template parameter defined in the template call.
If the text contains the text $n$ or what is defined by the third parameter, that will be replaced by the current value of $n$.
It seems that the whole call of #foreach is ignored if the loop body contains a template call or a parser function call, or if the loop body does not contain {{{$n$}}}.
Beispiel
Calling the template {{foo | foo2_bar=a | foo1_bar=b | a=12 | 6 | foo4_bar=c }} using the template foo, containing: {{#foreach: foo$n$_bar | foo$n$_bar = {{{foo$n$_bar}}}<br/>}} will result in the expanded wikitext foo1_bar = b<br/>foo2_bar = a<br/> and hence the output:
- foo1_bar = b
- foo2_bar = a
Since foo3_bar is not defined, foo4_bar is not listed either; neither are a and 1, the parameter names which exist but do not match the pattern.
Using without prefix or suffix
The code {{showpars | abc | de | w=fgh | ijk}} call Template:Showpars containing {{#foreach: $n$ | $n$ = {{{$n$}}}<br/>}} and gives:
- 1 = abc
- 2 = de
- 3 = ijk
Content of a template that links to the pages given by the values of the unnamed parameters:
{{#foreach:$n$|[[{{{$n$}}}]]<nowiki> </nowiki>}}
Installation
