 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category other. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{category other}} meta-template.
It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on.
Basic usage
This template usually takes two parameters, like this:
{{category other | Category page text | Other pages text }}
If the template is on a category page, it will return this:
- Category page text
If the template is on any other page, it will return this:
- Other pages text
A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on category pages. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template to the category. Like this:
{{category other | [[Category:Some category maintenance category]] }}
Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:
{{category other | | This template should only be used on category pages. }}
Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "category" parameter was left empty.
Advanced usage
This template works like {{main talk other}}, see full documentation there. Note that it detects "Category talk:" pages as type other. The test parameter demospace for this template understands the values category and other.
