Template:Yesno/doc

[[Category:Template documentation pages{{#translation:}}]]

This template normalises an input to be a yes/no output.

Usage

The template has five possible outputs depending on the default parameter (input if you will).

In its simplest usage, these will all be either "yes" or "" (blank = nothing no characters).

• Template:((Yesno|yesTemplate:)) → "yes" (also applies to "Yes", "YeS", etc, "Y", "y" and "1")
• Template:((Yesno|noTemplate:)) → "" (also applies to "No", "NO", "nO", "N", "n" and "0")
• Template:((YesnoTemplate:)) → ""
• Template:((Yesno|¬Template:)) → ""
• Template:((Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasherTemplate:)) → "yes" (also applies to any other value not given above)

Each of these can be over-ridden.

• Template:((Yesno|yes|yes=baconTemplate:)) → "bacon" (also applies to "Yes", "YeS", etc, "Y", "y" and "1")
• Template:((Yesno|no|no=hamTemplate:)) → "ham" (also applies to "No", "NO", "nO", "N", "n" and "0")
• Template:((Yesno|blank=eggsTemplate:)) → "eggs"
  • but Template:((Yesno|no=hamTemplate:)) → "ham"
  • and Template:((Yesno|blank=eggs|no=hamTemplate:)) → "eggs"
• Template:((Yesno|¬|¬=sausage|blank=eggs|no=hamTemplate:)) → "sausage"
  • and Template:((Yesno|¬=sausage|blank=eggs|no=hamTemplate:)) → "sausage"
• Template:((Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|def=cup-of-teaTemplate:)) → "Template:((Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|def=cup-of-teaTemplate:))" (also applies to any other value not given above)
  • but Template:((Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|yes=baconTemplate:)) → "bacon"
  • and Template:((Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|def=cup-of-tea|yes=baconTemplate:)) → "cup-of-tea"

This may be used (apparently perversely) thus:

• Template:((Yesno|yes|yes=no|no=yesTemplate:)) → "no"
• Template:((Yesno|no|yes=no|no=yesTemplate:)) → "yes"

This creates a logical inversion.
