When a [[Wikipedia:What is an article|Wikipedia article]] is large, it is often rewritten in [[Wikipedia:summary style|summary style]]. This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]] is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been (or will be) summarised. This template can also be used in the [[Help:Category|Category namespace]], but the preferred template for categories is '''{{tl|Cat main}}'''.

This template is '''not''' to be used as a substitute for inline links or as a "[[Template:See also|see also]]". Its usage should be restricted to the purpose described hereinbefore.

===Usage===

<pre>{{Main
|Article 1
}}</pre>

You may also include additional links, up to ten in total:
<pre>{{Main
|Article 1
|Article 2
|Article 3
|Article 4
|Article 5
|Article 6
|Article 7
|Article 8
|Article 9
|Article 10
}}</pre>

For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L', eg. l1 <u>not</u> 11:
<pre>{{Main
|Article 1
|Article 2
|Article 3
|Article 4
|Article 5
|Article 6
|Article 7
|Article 8
|Article 9
|Article 10
|l1=Article 1 link appearance
|l2=Article 2 link appearance
|l3=Article 3 link appearance
|l4=Article 4 link appearance
|l5=Article 5 link appearance
|l6=Article 6 link appearance
|l7=Article 7 link appearance
|l8=Article 8 link appearance
|l9=Article 9 link appearance
|l10=Article 10 link appearance
}}</pre>

===Examples===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Result
|-
| <pre>{{Main|Article}}</pre>
| {{Main|Article}}
|-
| <pre>{{Main|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3}}</pre>
| {{Main|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3}}
|-
| <pre>{{Main|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|Article 4|Article 5}}</pre>
| {{Main|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|Article 4|Article 5}}
|-
| <pre>{{Main|Article|l1=Alternative title}}</pre>
| {{Main|Article|l1=Alternative title}}
|-
| <pre>{{Main|(15760) 1992 QB1|l1={{mp|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}}}</pre>
| {{Main|(15760) 1992 QB1|l1={{mp|(15760) 1992 QB|1}}}}
|}
