 * No, unfortunately the code would have to be:

{{#switch:{{{Species}}}|Dragon= Foo|Varik= Foo|Raptor= Foo|Wyvern= Foo -- Random Time  21:05, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) - That does not look right from when i've seen it used. But i cannot remember were it was to look at the code it was in, but i think it was used to test which namspace a page was in & then display a different message. So in your application it would not work as more than one could be true at once, so which would it chose ? #ifexist may be more suitable ? but i'm not totally sure what you are looking to do with it.


 * Here is the help page at mediaWiki.org about the switch function and other parser functions. - BulldozerD11 21:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
