Forum:The "if" command

The #if: command. Is there anywhere I can find out how to use this? But if there isn't, I'll keep it short: So, I have a Talk template at a wiki, it involves me to type " ". I want to use the #if: command to add something else. So when I type " ", it will choose another template with the extra . So if I were to call the first template " " and the second "  " what would the code be (if it is possible) to choose the template based on if there's three "|"s --I Lion Heart I 19:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * See c:help:Help:Parser_functions and Forum:Template or Parser Function Expansion Problem.


 * Your third parameter will require at least one character (computing), and it probably needs to be a non-whitespace (computer science) character (i.e., not a spacebar or Enter character).


 * Place that anywhere (multiple places if necessary) in your code. If the third parameter was not passed, an empty value is used in its place. --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Need help
I'm trying to code something, yet it just won't work. Can someone look at the code here, see what I am trying to do, and tell me why it doesn't work/ if it can ever work. --I Lion Heart I</FONT> 19:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I've copied the template over here in User:TulipVorlax/ILHI.


 * So you're trying to have a table with variable number of row with a variable number of columns ? — TulipVorlax 21:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That is the gist of it. It's a template which could be used for anything. In actual fact it's for versions of games with more than one translations (going across the rows). And then columns for multiple related pages. I'm trying to code so only one template is used for all different games. --I </FONT>Lion Heart</FONT> I</FONT> 17:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * In this perticular case, maybe the HTML format of tables would work better. I'll try it if you want when i'll have more time... — TulipVorlax 18:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
