New page

== Usage ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| {{#count:''id''|''increment''}}
| Increments the counter ''id'' by ''increment'' and displays the result; ''increment'' can be omitted, and defaults to 1.
|-
| {{#resetcount:''id''|''value''|''increment''}}
| Silently sets the counter ''id'' to ''value'' minus ''increment'' (so that the next count by ''increment'' will display ''value''); ''value'' and ''increment'' can be omitted, and both default to 1.
|-
| {{[[Template:hcount|hcount]]}}<br />{{[[Template:vcount|vcount]]}}
| Used in [[HRWiki:SORT|sortable tables]]. ''See [#Sortable_Tables below].''
|}

== Examples ==

'''count''' is a [[Help:Parser function|parser function]] that returns an integer that increments each time the function is called:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 3
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 4
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 5
|}

The counters can be given different names, so you can have more than one of them on the same page:<br />
(The actual name doesn't matter, so long as they're different. If you use a counter in a template, pick a name that'll be unique.)

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#count:first}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:second}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:second}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:second}}
| 3
|-
| {{#count:first}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:second}}
| 4
|}

You can also make the counter count by twos, or by any other number:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#count:evens|2}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:evens|2}}
| 4
|-
| {{#count:evens|2}}
| 6
|-
| {{#count:evens|2}}
| 8
|-
| {{#count:evens|2}}
| 10
|}

Different increments can be used at different times, depending on what is needed:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#count:strange|1}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:strange|1}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:strange|3}}
| 5
|-
| {{#count:strange|0}}
| 5
|-
| {{#count:strange|-1}}
| 4
|-
| {{#count:strange|2}}
| 6
|}

The counter can be reset partway through a page:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 3
|-
| {{#resetcount:basic}}
|
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:basic}}
| 3
|}

You can also set what number you want to start on:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#resetcount:starting|11}}
|
|-
| {{#count:starting}}
| 11
|-
| {{#count:starting}}
| 12
|-
| {{#count:starting}}
| 13
|-
| {{#count:starting}}
| 14
|-
| {{#count:starting}}
| 15
|}

If you're using an increment, you need to give it to #resetcount too:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#resetcount:starting evens|14|2}}
|
|-
| {{#count:starting evens|2}}
| 14
|-
| {{#count:starting evens|2}}
| 16
|-
| {{#count:starting evens|2}}
| 18
|-
| {{#count:starting evens|2}}
| 20
|-
| {{#count:starting evens|2}}
| 22
|}

Use a negative increment to count down. As noted above, be sure to pass the increment to #resetcount too:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#resetcount:countdown|3|-1}}
|
|-
| {{#count:countdown|-1}}
| 3
|-
| {{#count:countdown|-1}}
| 2
|-
| {{#count:countdown|-1}}
| 1
|-
| {{#count:countdown|-1}}
| 0
|-
| {{#count:countdown|-1}}
| -1
|}

You can use the counter in other [[ParserFunctions|parser functions]]:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}
| odd
|-
| {{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}
| even
|-
| {{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}
| odd
|-
| {{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}
| even
|-
| {{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}
| odd
|}

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code
! Gives
|-
| {{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}
| 1
|-
| {{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}
| 4
|-
| {{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}
| 9
|-
| {{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}
| 16
|-
| {{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}
| 25
|}

== Sortable Tables ==

When using count in [[HRWiki:SORT|sortable tables]], please use the {{[[Template:hcount|hcount]]}} and {{[[Template:vcount|vcount]]}} templates. Be sure to carefully read their documentation in order to sort table entries correctly.
