Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]Basic usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{#invoke:Check for clobbered parameters|check
|nested=1
|template=Some template name
|cat={{main other|Category:Some tracking category}}
|arg1a; arg1b|arg2a; arg2b; arg2c|...|argNa; argNb}}
Here, (arg1a, arg1b), (arg2a, arg2b, arg2c), are tuples of the conflicting parameters.
By default, the module ignores blank parameters which is useful for {{if empty}} chains of parameters. For nested chains of parameters, use |nested=1 to consider blank parameters as well.
By default, the delimiter for the tuples is ; but this can be changed with |delimiter=.
The value of |template= is used to for the text of the preview warning message. When omitted, the module will use a generic message.
