{{mfl}} is similar to {{ml}}, but assumes that the function specified is documented, and thus creates a link to a section of the same name expected to be found in the documentation. Another difference with {{ml}} is that the behaviour of empty and undefined in the second parameter here is inverted.

Examples

Code Result Notes
{{mfl|Example}} {{#invoke:Example}} Omits the function name
{{mfl|Example|hello}} {{#invoke:Example|hello}} Usage with a function name.
{{mfl|Example|count_fruit|3=bananas=10|4=kiwis=5}} {{#invoke:Example|count_fruit|bananas=10|kiwis=5}} Usage with a function name and parameters.
{{mfl|Example|count_fruit|Fred|bananas{{=}}10|apples{{=}}5}} {{#invoke:Example|count_fruit|Fred|bananas=10|apples=5}} Usage with a function name and parameters, using {{=}}.
{{mfl|Example|}} {{#invoke:Example|function}} Usage with a generic function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Module function link in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Module function link

This template displays a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {{#invoke}} parser function, itself linked, thus showing how the module name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
