Usage

{{Transclude selected recent additions | <search pattern 1> | ... | <search pattern n> | not1= | ... | notn= | months= | max= | latest= | none= | more= |header= |footer= }}

Basic: {{Transclude selected recent additions| search pattern }}
Multiple search patterns: {{Transclude selected recent additions| search pattern | second search pattern | third search pattern }}; Add as many search patterns as needed
With patterns to exclude items: {{Transclude selected recent additions| search pattern | not=search pattern to exclude from results }}; Add additional search patterns to exclude items from results using |not2=, |not3=, etc.
As a portal component which only displays when items are found: {{Transclude selected recent additions| header= header template | footer= footer template | other parameters }}
As a suggestion generator, e.g. on the portal talk page: {{Transclude selected recent additions| latest=yes | wikitext=yes | other parameters }}

Parameters

|1=, |2=, |3= ...: Search patterns for items
|not1=, |not2=, |not3= ...: Search patterns for excluding items
|months=: Number of months to search through for items (counting backwards from the current date); default is 30 (nb. you may find large numbers equal to several years won't work for technical reasons).
|max=: Maximum number of items to display; default is 6
|latest=: Set to yes to display the most recent items; omit this parameter to display a randomised set of items (with new selections when the page is purged)
|wikitext=: Set to yes to display the wikitext of the items, e.g. when using this template just to generate suggestions
|none=: Wikitext to display if no matching items are found; default is "No recent additions"
|more=: Wikitext to show at the bottom of the list; OR; Set to yes to show More recent additions... link at the bottom of the list
|header=: Wikitext to show above the items; typically {{Box-header}} or {{Box-header colour}} or similar (with appropriate parameters filled in); If set, this template only displays output when items are found (overriding |more= if set)
|footer=: Wikitext to show below the items; defaults to {{Box-footer}}; Can only be used in conjunction with |header=

Search patterns

Search patterns are Lua patterns, which are similar to regular expressions. This means that ^$()%.[]*+-? characters have special meaning, such as . matching any character. To search for those characters themselves, they need to be escaped by prefixing a %

For piped links, both the target article name as well as the displayed text are searched for matches. Images and image captions are not searched for matches.

B Tip: To make a letter in a search pattern case-insensitive, put both the upper-case and lowercase letter inside square-brackets, i.e. [Aa]pple will match both An apple is... and Apples are....
