{{main
  |Article 1
}}

You can add up to five links, if required.

By default, the text of the link is set as the name of the page to which it directs. If needed, you can change the text the following way:

{{main
  |Article 1
  |Article 2
  |l1=Displayed text of link 1
  |l2=Displayed text of link 2
}}

Note: The character 'l' in "l1" is a lowercase 'L', NOT a capital "i" or a "1"
