Errors
If no page names are supplied, the template outputs the following message with the (help) wikilink pointing to this very Errors section:
- Error: no page names specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{See also}}
with no pipe character nor page to link to). Please use{{See also|page}}
instead. - Some parameters were specified, but no page names were included. For example, the template text
{{See also|selfref=yes}}
will produce this error. Please use (for example){{See also|page|selfref=yes}}
instead. - A page name was specified, but it contains an equals sign ( "=" ). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code
{{See also|1+1=2|2+2=4}}
will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using1=
,2
,etc., before the page name, like this:{{See also|1=1+1=2|2=2+2=4}}
.
If you see this error message and are unsure of what to do, please post a message onthe help desk (WP:HD),and someone should be able to help you.
