<!--This template demos how the old page number templates have been changed so old references still work, but new ones will also work.


'''''Debugging'''''
The old style looked like this:
*{{#if:{{{start|}}}|Start exists: {{{start}}}|Start does not exist}}
 
*{{#if:{{{end|}}}|End exists: {{{end}}}|End does not exist}}
{{TPJS|start=5|end=10}}
*{{#if:{{{pages|}}}|Pages exists: {{{pages}}}|Pages does not exist}}
 
This would give Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 5-10.
 
There was also
 
{{TPJS1|start=5}}
 
Which would give Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 5.
 
And sometimes
 
{{TPJS0}}
 
Which would give Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.  [No page numbers.]
 
This is cumbersome.  The new system uses a more rational naming approach, as follows:
 
{{Book:Author:Title|pages=5-10}}
 
So, TPJS might be
 
{{Book:Smith:Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith|pages=5-10}}
 
This edit allows all four templates to redirect to the same template, and still display properly.  So, the template:
 
a) checks to see if the argument {{{end}}} is sent.  If it is, assume this is {{TPJS}}, and display {{{start}}}&ndash;{{{end}}}.
b) if {{{end}}} does not exist, see if {{{start}}} exists.  If so, assume this is {{TPJS1}} and display {{{start}}} only.
c) if {{{end}}} and {{{start}}} do not exist, see if {{{pages}}} exists.  If so, this is the new style, and display {{{pages}}}.
d) if {{end}}}, {{{start}}}, and {{{pages}}} do not exist, assume the book is referred to without page number at all.-->
