Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain : (indents), * (unnumbered list), and # (numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. In integer mode, the value is interpreted as number of indents (:). Default value is 10. Supported range is from -40 to 40. A negative integer is the same as positive integer with |reverse=y.
Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.
Examples
With indentation wikitext
::::Previous post, indented with four colons.
{{Outdent|::::}} New post.
displays as
Previous post, indented with four colons.
New post.
Positive integer
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
{{Outdent|6}} New post.
displays as
Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.
With separate indent
To not outdent all the way to the left margin, indent the {{outdent}} template itself using colons:
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
::{{Outdent|4}} New post.
displays as
Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.
Indent
Using |reverse=y:
::::::Previous post, indented 6 levels.
::{{Outdent|4}} Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6−2=4.
::{{Outdent|5|reverse=yes}}:::::::Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7−2=5.
displays as
Previous post, indented 6 levels.
Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6−2=4.
Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7−2=5.
Or with a negative integer:
::::::Original conversation.
::::::{{od|-3}}:::::::::Afterthought.
:::::::{{od|2}}:::::::Continuation of original conversation.
displays as
Original conversation.
Afterthought.
Continuation of original conversation.
CSS and hide
This template is contained in the CSS class "outdent-template". Users who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS (Special:MyPage/common.css):
.outdent-template{display:none;}

{{Outdent2}} — rather than a bar on the previous line, produces a bracketed arrow on the same line.
