Usage
Template to show numbered sub-pages arranged ascendingly from 1 to maximum. Max must be defined in Template by repeating parameters used in forLoop template till maximum. Maximum is defined as 25, 50, 75, or 100, depending on the version used.
Example
This is an example of use of the template as it would be found on the "Selected articles" sub-page that is a component of a portal created using the {{box portal skeleton}}. Simply placing the template on the page is all that is needed to show all selected articles stored in sub-pages linked to it, however using the template as part of a fully formed description makes it easier for other editors to modify the page as needed.
