{{doc subpage}}
This template provides a box displaying a link to the Wiki forum. It is designed to go on the bottom of pages (or top of talk pages) with an expectation of a high number of user questions. 

== Usage ==
Place {{tl|ForumLink}} on a page where this message box is desired. The template is designed to automatically decode as many of the parameters as possible, but a few require being named in the template. The default condition with no parameters will send the user to the [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=276 general forum on Wiki updates].

Any of the following (simplified syntax):
<pre>
{{ForumLink | search-linktext }}

{{ForumLink | topicid-wikiforum }}

{{ForumLink | link-text | topicid-wikiforum }}

{{ForumLink | forumid=nnn | search-linktext | topicid }}

{{ForumLink | lang=aa | forumid=nnn | linktext | topicid }}

{{ForumLink | forum=url }}

</pre>

== Parameters ==

'''forum'''
:Optional parameter. The value is a URL to the Waze forum topic thread that covers a discussion of the wiki page that uses this template.

'''forumid'''
:Optional parameter. If the target Waze forum is not the Wiki forum, the forumid value can be entered. This also requires a {{para|topicid}} value.


== Examples ==
{{pre2|<nowiki>{{ForumLink|forum=http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=98195}}</nowiki>}} will generate the following:
{{ForumLink|forum=http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=98195}}


<pre>{{ForumLink}}</pre> will generate the following:
{{ForumLink}}

{{pre2|<nowiki>{{ForumLink|New Page - WME Chat|89344}}</wikilink></nowiki>}} generates:
