Template:Yesno
This template normalises an input to be a yes/no output.
Usage
The template has five possible outputs depending on the default parameter (input if you will).
In its simplest usage, these will all be either "yes" or "" (blank = nothing no characters).
- {{Yesno|yes}} → "yes" (also applies to "Yes", "YeS", etc, "Y", "y" and "1")
- {{Yesno|no}} → "" (also applies to "No", "NO", "nO", "N", "n" and "0")
- {{Yesno}} → ""
- {{Yesno|¬}} → ""
- {{Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher}} → "yes" (also applies to any other value not given above)
Each of these can be over-ridden.
- {{Yesno|yes|yes=bacon}} → "bacon" (also applies to "Yes", "YeS", etc, "Y", "y" and "1")
- {{Yesno|no|no=ham}} → "ham" (also applies to "No", "NO", "nO", "N", "n" and "0")
- {{Yesno|blank=eggs}} → "eggs"
- {{Yesno|¬|¬=sausage|blank=eggs|no=ham}} → "sausage"
- and {{Yesno|¬=sausage|blank=eggs|no=ham}} → "sausage"
- {{Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|def=cup-of-tea}} → "{{Yesno|purplemonkeydishwasher|def=cup-of-tea}}" (also applies to any other value not given above)
This may be used (apparently perversely) thus:
This creates a logical inversion.
