This is the {{ifempty}} template.
This template is used inside other templates. It takes up to nine parameters (parameters 1-9), and returns the first one that is defined and non-empty, otherwise nothing. Typical usage is like this:
{{ifempty| {{{logo|}}} | {{{image|}}} | default.svg }}
This returns the first of the parameters logo and image that is defined and non-empty, otherwise "default.svg".
Background
[កែប្រែ]The MediaWiki parameter default function doesn't return the default value for empty parameters. That is, {{{logo|default.svg}}}
does not return "default.svg" if the template was called like this: {{template|logo=}}
.
The usual workaround is to do like this:
{{#if:{{{logo|}}}| {{{logo}}} | default.svg }}
But this becomes complex when you want to check several parameters:
{{#if:{{{logo|}}}| {{{logo}}} | {{#if:{{{image|}}} | {{{image}}} | default.svg }}}}
Then it is easier to use this template instead:
{{ifempty| {{{logo|}}} | {{{image|}}} | default.svg }}
Note! The parameters to {{ifempty}} must use the pipe "|", like this: {{{logo|}}}
. Or else {{ifempty}} will be fed and return the string "{{{logo}}}
" if logo was not defined.

{{ifempty}} | Returns an empty string. | |
{{ifempty|one}} | one | Returns the first parameter that is defined and not empty. |
{{ifempty|one|two}} | one | |
{{ifempty|one|two|three|four}} | one | |
{{ifempty|two}} | two | The first parameter was empty or undefined, so uses the next parameter. |
{{ifempty|two|three|four}} | two | |
{{ifempty|two|four}} | two | |
{{ifempty|||||||||nine}} | nine | |
{{ifempty||||||||||ten}} | Only handles up to nine parameters, so returns an empty string. | |

{{ifempty}} | Returns an empty string. | |
{{ifempty|{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|three}} | three | |
{{ifempty|{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}|three}} | {{{1}}} | Returns the text "{{{1}}}", because it is a non-empty string. Note the lack of "|" in the first two parameters. |
