Threading of replies on talk pages is done using indentation and lists. This template is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.
Usage
{{od|integer}} or {{od|indentation wikitext}}. Integer examples: {{od|5}}, {{od|-15}}, {{od|11|r=y}}. Indentation examples: {{od|:::::}}, {{od|*::::::}}, {{od|**:::#}}.
Parameters
|1=indent- Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain
:(indents),*(unnumbered list), and#(numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. In integer mode, the value is interpreted as number or indents (:). Default value is10. Supported range is from −40 to 40. A negative integer is the same as positive integer with|reverse=y. |2=y- Set it to add a link.
{{od|5|y}}produces:
(outdent)
|r=y(aliases|reverse=y,|indent=y,|in=y)- Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.
