This helper template is designed to be used in other templates. It can help editors create template code that is more self documenting. A major advantage of using this template over using the construct {{#if:{{{1|}}}{{{2|}}} |…}} is that if the first parameter is not empty then the second parameter is not evaluated.

The "or" in the "a or b" above is inclusive: if both a and b are true, the template will return the first result.

This template can also be used to replace the construct {{#if:a |true |{{#if:b |true |false}}}} (i.e. "if a, then true; else if b, then true; else false").
