This template allows you to conditionally show one of a predefined set of arguments, depending on another named argument.
Usage
Use the "switch" argument to select which argument to show:
- {{{Switch|yes=yay|no=nay|switch=yes}}} will show "yay"
- {{{Switch|yes=yay|no=nay|switch=no}}} will show "nay"
If the specified option is unknown, the "switch" value will be shown:
- {{{Switch|yes=yay|no=nay|switch=err}}} will show "err"
The "default" argument will be used when the "switch" value doesn't match any of the options or that's empty:
- {{{Switch|yes=yay|no=nay|default=maybe|switch=err}}} will show "maybe"
