Parameters

freeform-n

Set freeform-n = yes to allow for arbitrary code in that tab's tab-n entry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below. When using the freeform attribute, the link attribute remains empty; for example:

| freeform-1          = yes
| tab-1               = [http://www.nytimes.com/ ''The New York Times'']
| link-1              =

link-n

The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.

link2-n

The tab 2nd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)

link3-n

The tab 3rd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)

link4-n

The tab 4th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)

link5-n

The tab 5th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)

tab-n

The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.

• The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
• To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{End tab}} template.

Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desired; otherwise, the text in tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.
