Main article: [[{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]

To link to a "main article" on a topic, use {{Main|Title of other article}}.

For multiple main articles, use {{Main|Main Article 1|Main Article 2}}. Up to ten main articles may be listed.

You may want the main article's name to show up differently; named parameters are good for the job.

{{Main
|1=Main Article 1
|l1=Link Title 1
|2=Main Article 2
|l2=Link Title 2
}}

Note that the named parameters are a lowercase "L" and a number, not the number 1 and then another number.

To change the wording from "Main article" to "See also", simply add anything in the |see= parameters. Below is an example:

{{Main|see=1|Destiny 1|Destiny 2|Destiny 3|Destiny 4}}

will create:

See also: Destiny 1, Destiny 2, Destiny 3, and Destiny 4
