Would this code work in a template to switch if any of the specified articles are present?

{{#switch:{{{Species}}}|Dragon|Varik|Raptor|Wyvern=

 * 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)


 * Please explain exactly what you are trying to do. Bad wikicode fragments without context will just lead to alot of round-about guessing. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 5:54 PM PST 19 Jul 2010


 * This is the template:

What I am looking for is that, if the Species entered is Dragon, Varik, Wyvern or Raptor, then it would disable the parameter hair color and enable scale color instead.  Helloher    (Death is not my phone number)  06:08, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
