This template takes two parameters: the table and the starting index.

Internally, the Module maintains a monotonically increasing counter. The Module looks for the keywords <code>_row_count</code> and <code>_row_count_hold</code> in the table. Keyword <code>_row_count</code> is replaced with the next counter value; keyword <code>_row_count_hold</code> is replaced with the value from the last <code>_row_count</code> replacement.

There are further caveats.  When wrapped in {{tag|nowiki}}, the '<code><</code>' and '<code>></code>' characters that begin and end all html-like markup, are replaced with <code>&amp;lt;</code> and <code>&amp;gt;</code> html entities respectively.  Because the Module cannot know if there are html entities already in use before the table was wrapped in the {{tag|nowiki}} tags required here, when the module replaces the html entities with '<code><</code>' and '<code>></code>' characters, something may break. {{lang|la|caveat lector}}.

Template:Warning nowiki broken This is a stop-gap template that serves as an interface to Module:Row numbers.

This template makes it possible, in many cases, to have an incrementing row indexer/counter in a table so that adding or removing rows automatically adjusts the numbering of subsequent rows. This template will become obsolete if and when MediaWiki supports automatically adding row numbers via WikiTable syntax. See Phab: T42618 - "jquery.tablesorter: Add support for a 'fixed' column of row numbers." And see Help:Sorting, and the sections on row numbering and auto-ranking. Using Template:Row numbers is one of the methods described on that page.

Usage

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Row numbers in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Row numbers

INTERNAL: Module:Format_TemplateData:568: assign to undeclared variable 'dt'

This template takes an arbitrary number of parameters: the table and the starting index. There is a caveat: the table is wrapped in the template without escaping the | characters. The module is capable of dealing with this, but it is not capable of dealing with bare equals signs at the same time. As such, bare equals signs must still be escaped with {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}. Internally, the Module maintains a monotonically increasing counter. The Module looks for the keywords _row_count and _row_count_hold in the table. Keyword _row_count is replaced with the next counter value; keyword _row_count_hold is replaced with the value from the last _row_count replacement.
