The templates [[Template:P1|P1]], [[Template:P2|P2]] and [[Template:P3|P3]] simply return the first, second and third unnamed input parameter respectively. For example:
{{documentation}}
* {{t|P1|foo|bar|baz}} returns {{P1|foo|bar|baz}}
[[Category:General wiki templates]]
* {{t|P2|foo|bar|baz}} returns {{P2|foo|bar|baz}}
* {{t|P3|foo|bar|baz}} returns {{P3|foo|bar|baz}}
 
These templates can be used inside other templates as an alternative to the {{pf|switch}} parser function, to switch between outputs based on whether the input is "1", "2" or "3":
* {{t|P{{<nowiki/>{1}}}|''output if 1''|''output if 2''|''output if 3''}}
 
Using <code><nowiki>{{#switch}}</nowiki></code>, this syntax is equivalent to
* {{t|&#35;switch:{{<nowiki/>{1}}}|1{{=}}''output if 1''|2{{=}}''output if 2''|3{{=}}''output if 3''}}
except that the parser function strips whitespace between parameters whereas the templates don't.
