Category:Conditional Templates

These templates can be used to create pages which behave differently under different conditions. Most often, they are used in other templates to allow changes in behavior based on the parameters passed to them, but they can also be used in normal pages with variables. Here's an example:

Thought for the day:
{{qif|test={{CURRENTDAYNAME}}
|testMonday=I need coffee...
|testWednesday=Hump day, halfway there.
|testThursday=Almost friday....
|testFriday=TGIF!
|testSaturday=Time off, at last.
|testSunday=I have to work tomorrow?
|then=Ho-hum.
}}

Thought for the day: Ho-hum.

Note that most conditional templates will be locked to sysop editing only, you can discuss needed changes on their talk pages. This is done to prevent vandalism, as a small change could affect hundreds of pages.
