Module:Main list has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I'd do this myself if I were more familiar with Lua, but I've only ever edited like 1 or 2 Lua modules so I don't really know the relevant syntax.
I've created an example of what I'm asking for in the underlying template for this module – Template:Main list – at User:Seppi333/Example, where:
The default output for {{:User:Seppi333/Example|ABC}}
produces
The use of |more=no
with {{:User:Seppi333/Example|ABC|more=no}}
produces
The motivation for doing this is that some sections/topics for which the main list template is relevant (due to the fact that a comprehensive list of things that constitute the topic exists on WP) do not include a list of example entries in that section. In those cases, saying there's a "more comprehensive" list at ABC is an awkward hatnote because it implies that there's a partial list located within the vicinity of where the hatnote was placed on a page when there's isn't. I remember wanting this functionality for this hatnote previously, but never got around to requesting it.
The current use cases I have in mind are for
GeneWiki#Number of gene articles and
Transcription factor#Number; there are no example entries included in those sections and the lists specified in the {{
Main list}}
hatnotes constitute complete or nearly (~80%) complete lists, respectively. I've added |more=no
to the main list templates used in these articles to provide test cases in the event someone is willing to add this functionality to the module.
