Main	Documentation	Usage

This template creates a nested list from a semicolon-separated input, with different symbols used to specify the indentation level. It can optionally link items to existing pages and display automatically generated icons.

Syntax

{{Nested Lists|Item 1;Item 2;//Item 2.1;//Item 2.2;$$Item 2.2.1;Item 3|link = 1|icon = Icon Furniture {item}.png|icon_size = 25}}

• The first parameter contains the list items, separated by semicolons ;.
• The indentation of each item is determined by the symbol immediately before it:
  • ; — level 0
  • // — level 1
  • $$ — level 2
  • %% — level 3
  • && — level 4
• link=1 checks whether each item's page exists and links the item when it does.
• icon= adds an icon to every item. {item} is replaced with the item's page name.
• icon_size= sets the icon size in pixels. The default is 25.
• [no] at the beginning of an item disables its icon.
• [custom icon] at the beginning of an item disables its icon.
• An item can use page{{!}}label to specify a page separately from its displayed label.
