This is the documentation subpage for the parent Template:Format page.

Usage:: In message documentation.

Example:

{{Format|plain}} generates:

Please pay attention to the output method of this message, which influences how the translated message can be formatted and how it will be processed and rendered:

The plain format does not allow any processing. This means the following features are not allowed: MediaWiki magic words (such as {{SITENAME}}), parser functions (such as {{PLURAL:}}, {{GENDER:}}, {{ns:}}, {{#special:}}, etc.), wikitext markup (such as '''bold text''', [[wikilink|text]], etc.), HTML markup (such as foo), HTML character entities (such as &zwsp;, {).
Due to limitations in the software using this message, only three very specific HTML character entities allowed even in plain mode; they are:

  (regular space)
  (non-breaking space, named)
  (non-breaking space, numerical)

Example:

{{Format|jquerymsg}} generates:

Please pay attention to the output method of this message, which influences how the translated message can be formatted and how it will be processed and rendered:

The jquerymsg format means that the message has limited processing features (only those available in the browser via mediawiki.jqueryMsg). Only the following features are supported in wikitext:

Placeholder variables, like $1, $2, etc.
Magic words: Only {{SITENAME}} (not other magic words).
Parser functions: Only {{PLURAL:}}, {{GENDER:}} and {{GRAMMAR:}} (not other parser functions).
Wikitext markup: Only [[internal link]], [https://example.org external] links, italic and bold
Not supported: Wikitext bold, Wikitext italic, HTML, {{ns:}}, {{#special:}} etc.
