Module:If not given or empty

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:If not given or empty/doc

-- This module's check_parameter function checks whether a parameter is given, empty, or nonempty in a template call.
-- It is intended to be called from templates only, as {{#invoke:If not given or empty|check_parameter|parameter name|before|after|when=NG EM NE|notgiven=|empty=|notempty=}}
-- This is similar to {{If then show|{{{parameter name|}}}|...|before|after}}, but also checks if the parameter is *present* in the template call. 
-- before and after are added only for cases in which when= contains the codes NG (for not given), EM (given but empty), NE (given and not empty)
