Requirements[edit]

This template requires the ParserFunctions extension.

{{see also|Article 1|...|Article 15}}

Up to 15 parameters are permitted: only the first is mandatory.
The list is dynamically generated so that the word "and" is always placed between the final two entries.
If more than 15 entries are supplied, a message will be displayed pointing out the problem.
You can use parameters l1 to l15 to specify alternative labels for the links.

NB: make sure to start label parameters with a lowercase el (l), not a one (1) or pipe (|); adding newline characters will break article links
