Module:News/ear

Draws the "ear", the small box beside the nameplate of the newspaper. Used by Template:News/ear by both nameplates in different context.

This module and template are already provided in the issue preload and do not require manual handling.

Usage

{{News/ear|<value>|for=<where>}}. for= may be front or issue.

value	shows
default	The ear from config for that page: frontEar with for=front, issueEar with for=issue.
latest	A promo for the newest issue, its number, and a link to it. (labels are earLatestTop and earLatestLink).
none or blank	outputs nothing
anything else	an override that puts your text in the box

Notes

In any ear text, be it from config or typed, $newsroom is replaced with the title. This means that you should use [[$newsroom|NEWSROOOM]] for any link. Using default without for will crash the module.
