A template link with a variable number of parameters.
 
The '''*''' template is used to add bullets (example: '''&bull;''') by substituting <tt><nowiki>'''&amp;bull;'''</nowiki></tt> automatically.
===Use===
To use this for templates, use
:{{T|T|<nowiki>parameter 1|parameter 2|parameter 3|...|parameter 20</nowiki>}}<!-- self-referential examples! -->
To use other namespaces, use the namespace as prefix, for example
:{{T|T|User:Example}}
And to show transclusions of mainspace mw.pages, use
:{{T|T|:Bucket}}
 
===Example=Usage==
The recommended usage is to use spaces ''before'' and ''after'' the template.
<code><nowiki>{{T|Stub}}</nowiki></code>
<pre>[[Bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]]</pre>
:{{T|Stub}}
 
The template renders one space on each side of the bullet.
<code><nowiki>{{T|Stub|Item1|Item2|Item3|Item4|Item5|...}}</nowiki></code>
[[Bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]]
:{{T|Stub|Item1|Item2|Item3|Item4|Item5|...}}
 
For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with spaces between each item and the template.
 
<pre>
[[Bones]] {{*}}
[[Bat bones]] {{*}}
[[Wolf bones]] {{*}}
[[Big bones]] {{*}}
[[Dragon bones]]
</pre>
 
As before, the template renders one space on each side of the bullets.
[[Bones]] {{*}}
[[Bat bones]] {{*}}
[[Wolf bones]] {{*}}
[[Big bones]] {{*}}
[[Dragon bones]]
 
When the list is too long and line breaks, the class "nowraplinks" should be used.
 
<pre style="width:95%; overflow:scroll"><div class="nowraplinks">
[[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]] {{*}} [[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]] {{*}} [[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]]
</div></pre>
 
Using "nowraplinks" forces the line break to come after one of the bullets.
 
<div class="nowraplinks">
[[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]] {{*}} [[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]] {{*}} [[Bones]] {{*}} [[Bat bones]] {{*}} [[Wolf bones]] {{*}} [[Big bones]] {{*}} [[Dragon bones]]
</div>
