Template:Yes/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Yes (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template helps to eliminate all the {{#switch:{{{1}}}|Y|y|YES|yes|Yes=...}} terms in biobox templates making them easier to read.

Just type {{#if:{{yes|{{{parameter|}}}}}|...}} and you can be sure

• that the parameter is not empty
• that it contains Y, y, YES, yes or Yes.

The template gives back "Yes" if the parameter is Y, y, YES, yes; otherwise it gives back nothing.

This helps to cope with entries like "anal = no" for the new biobox. Otherwise, as there is something entered for "anal", it would have appeared in the biobox as if "anal" was "yes".
