Modul:Further

This module produces a "Further information: a, b and c" link. It implements the {{further}} template.

Usage from wikitext

This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{further}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.

Technical details

This module uses Module:Hatnote to format the hatnote text, Module:TableTools to process the list of links, and Module:Arguments to fetch the arguments from wikitext.
