Template:Enum/sandbox
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Enum (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |

 | This template is used on approximately 40,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Outputs each of the parameters separated by commas and, between the second last and last, the word " and " (this can be changed with the and= parameter). Any number of parameters may be specified.
It is intended for use by other templates to output a suitably formatted list when the number of parameters varies. Named parameters, except for those specified below, are discarded.
White space in parameters is discarded. To include white space, use a character entity reference or numeric character reference.
Usage
[edit]{{Enum|first|second|third| ... }}
The named parameters are:
- after: The text to follow the final item. This might be a semicolon, for example. The default is to have no following text. This is not used if the list is empty (has no items).
- and: The text to use where by default " and " is written. This may be overridden if there is a preference for a comma before the "and", or where it makes sense to write it in a language other than English, for example.
- comma: The text to use between items except the last and one-before-last. If not specified, the default is ", ".
- Any of the named parameters can be set empty; this differs from them not being present (i.e. use the default).
