Threading of replies on talk pages is done using indentation and lists. This template is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.
Usage
{{od|integer}} or {{od|indentation wikitext}}. Integer examples: {{od|5}}, {{od|-15}}, {{od|11|r=y}}. Indentation examples: {{od|:::::}}, {{od|*::::::}}, {{od|**:::#}}.
Parameters
|1=indent- Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain
:(indents),*(unnumbered list), and#(numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. In integer mode, the value is interpreted as number or indents (:). Default value is10. Supported range is from −40 to 40. A negative integer is the same as positive integer with|reverse=y. |2=y- Set it to add a link to BattleIntelligence:Indentation#Outdenting.
{{od|5|y}}produces:
(outdent)
|r=y(aliases|reverse=y,|indent=y,|in=y)- Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.
Examples
With indentation wikitext
::::Previous post, indented with four colons.
{{Outdent|::::}} New post.displays as
- Previous post, indented with four colons.
New post.
Positive integer
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
{{Outdent|6}} New post.displays as
- Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.
With separate indent
To not outdent all the way to the left margin, indent the {{outdent}} template itself using colons:
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
::{{Outdent|4}} New post.displays as
- Previous post, indented 6 levels.
- New post.
Indent
Using |reverse=y:
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
::{{Outdent|4}} Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6−2=4.
::{{Outdent|5|reverse=yes}}
:::::::Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7−2=5.displays as
- Previous post, indented 6 levels.
- Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6−2=4.
- Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7−2=5.
Or with a negative integer:
::::::Original conversation.
::::::{{od|-3}}
:::::::::Afterthought.
:::::::{{od|2}}
:::::::Continuation of original conversation.displays as
- Original conversation.
- Afterthought.
- Continuation of original conversation.
