__NOTOC__
==Purpose of template==
When [[Wikipedia:What is an article|Wikipedia article]]s
become too large, subarticles are usually created.  This [[Wikipedia:Template messages|template]], used in the subarticle, uses the name of the main article as a [[m:Help:Template#Parameters|parameter]] to produce a link to the main article:
 
<nowiki>
{{main|Article}}
</nowiki>
 
will produce
{{main|Article}}
 
To reference multiple articles, the {{tl|main articles}} template can be used instead, as so:
 
<nowiki>
{{main articles}} [[a]], [[b]], [[c]]
</nowiki>
 
which produces:
{{main articles}} [[a]], [[b]], [[c]]
 
== Comparison with related templates ==
 
The following two are meant to be used in connection with each other:
 
* At the top of a brief section concerning a subject that has a more detailed article (this is the only form specified by the [[Wikipedia:Summary style|Wikipedia Manual of Style]]);
* ''or'' at the top of the specialized article, to refer to the more general article: {{tiwt|main}}
* at the top or bottom of a section of the more general article, to refer to the specialized article: {{tiwt|see details}}
----
The following set of two is an alternative:
*{{tiwt|subarticleof}}
*{{tiwt|seesubarticle}}
 
==References==
* [[Wikipedia:Long article layout]]
* [[Wikipedia:Summary style]]
* [[m:Help:Template]]
