This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The templates P1 and P2 simply return the first and second unnamed input parameter respectively. For example:

{{P1|foo|bar|baz}} returns foo
{{P2|foo|bar|baz}} returns bar

These templates can be used inside other templates as an alternative to the {{#switch}} parser function, to switch between outputs based on whether the input is "1" or "2":

{{P{{{1}}}|output if 1|output if 2}}

Using {{#switch}}, this syntax is equivalent to

{{#switch:{{{1}}}|1=output if 1|2=output if 2}}

except that the parser function strips whitespace between parameters whereas the templates don't.
