Main article: [[{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]

Usage

To link to a "main article" on a topic, use {{main|The other article}}.

Advanced Usage (Multiple main articles)

For multiple main articles, use {{main|Main Article 1|Main Article 2}}. Up to ten main articles may be listed.

Advanced Usage (Changing a Link's Name)

You may want the main article's name to show up differently; named parameters are good for the job.

{{main
|1=Main Article 1
|l1=Link Title 1
|2=Main Article 2
|l2=Link Title 2
}}

Note that the named parameters are a lowercase "L" and a number, not the number 1 and then another number.
