Parameters[edit source]
freeform-n- Set
freeform-n = yesto allow for arbitrary code in that tab'stab-nentry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below. When using the freeform attribute, the link attribute remains empty; for example:
| freeform-1 = yes
| tab-1 = [http://www.nytimes.com/ ''The New York Times'']
| link-1 =
link-n- The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link2-n- The tab 2nd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n) link3-n- The tab 3rd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using
freeform-n) link4-n- The tab 4th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using

- The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
- To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{End tab}} template.
Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desired; otherwise, the text in tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.
