Template:Whoops

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Whoops/doc. (edit | history)

This template helpfully insults the intelligence of people who might be looking for a different article.

Proper usage

Example:

{{Whoops|Article title}}

which produces

Whoops! Maybe you were looking for Article title?

Multiple links

This template supports anywhere from one to five entries. To add more, just do it like this:

{{Whoops|Article title|Page name|Okay, we get it now|This joke isn't funny anymore|I WILL KILL YOU}}

This produces:

Whoops! Maybe you were looking for Article title, or Page name? How about Okay, we get it now, or This joke isn't funny anymore? Possibly even I WILL KILL YOU?

Alternate text

You may also use the alt1, alt2, alt3, alt4, and alt5 parameter(s) to provide alternate text for your link(s). Example:

{{Whoops|Saturn is a Lying Bitch|alt1=a lying bitch}}

Which gives you:

Whoops! Maybe you were looking for a lying bitch?

The number corresponds to the index of the unnamed parameter you used for the link, i.e. the first link address corresponds with alt1.

Improper usage

Once upon a time it was only possible to use one entry per usage of the template, so pages tended to get spammed with several instances of {{Whoops}}. If you see a page with multiple instances of this template, please eliminate unfunny ones and condense them into single templates. If you have to have more than five links, you're probably doing it wrong.
