The <nowiki>{{#if:}}</nowiki> function is what lets us manipulate wiki code in this way.  We can test for existence within a parameter, then display a certain text if it exists, and a certain text if it doesn't. This way we can display and hide text when empty spaces would normally exist. Other parser functions like <nowiki>{{#if:}}</nowiki> exist and are used for different purposes. Usage of these functions is outlined below.

Note: use {{t|!}} to replace the use of pipes (the "|" character). If you don't, the conditional argument (e.g. <nowiki>{{#if:}}</nowiki>) will end abruptly.  Typically, {{t|!}} is used when generating new rows of a table (HTML TR/TD) within a conditional argument.
