This is the {{tl|namespace detect}} meta-template.
=== History ===
OxBlue was founded in 2001 by two graduates of the Georgia Institute of Technology: Chandler McCormack and Bryan Mattern. McCormack was a civil engineer and senior project manager for Paulson Mitchell, an Atlanta based civil engineering firm serving commercial, industrial and residential clients throughout the southeast. Mattern was a senior technical consultant who specialized in the development of enterprise communication platforms and had a background in construction engineering.


It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on.
It detects and groups all the different [[Wikipedia:Namespace#Enumeration|namespaces]] used on Wikipedia into several types:
:'''main''' = Main/article space, as in normal Wikipedia articles.
:'''talk''' = Any talk space, such as page names that start with "Talk:", "User talk:", "File talk:" and so on.
:'''user, wikipedia, file, mediawiki, template, help, category''', '''portal''' and '''book''' = The other namespaces except the talk pages.
:'''other''' = Any namespaces that were not specified as a parameter to the template. See explanation below.
For backwards compatibility this template also understands the old name '''image''' for '''file'''. But using '''image''' is now deprecated.
'''Note!''' For most usage cases it might be better to use the simpler namespace detection templates. (See the [[#See also|see also]] section below.) Since this template is more prone to human errors such as misspelling the parameter names.
=== Usage ===
This template takes one or more parameters named after the different page types as listed above. Like this:
<pre>
{{namespace detect
| main  = Article text
| talk  = Talk page text
| other = Other pages text
}}
</pre>
If the template is on a main (article) page, it will return this:
:{{namespace detect| demospace=main
| main  = Article text
| talk  = Talk page text
| other = Other pages text
}}
If the template is on any other page than an article or a talk page it will return this:
:{{namespace detect
| main  = Article text
| talk  = Talk page text
| other = Other pages text
}}
The example above made the template return something for all page types. But if we don't use the '''other''' parameter or leave it empty then it will not return anything for the other page types. Like this:
<pre>
{{namespace detect
| file    = File page text
| category = Category page text
| other    =
}}
</pre>
On any pages other than file and category pages the code above will render nothing.
<!-- Do not remove this one. It is supposed to render nothing, but we have it here for testing purposes. -->
<!-- Do not remove this one. It is supposed to render nothing, but we have it here for testing purposes. -->
:{{namespace detect
:{{namespace detect
Line 63: Line 11:
}}
}}


By using an empty parameter you can make it so the template doesn't render anything for some specific page type. Like this:
=== R&D Highlights ===
 
<pre>
{{namespace detect
| main  =  
| other = Other pages text
}}
</pre>
 
The code above will render nothing when on mainspace (article) pages, but will return this when on other pages:
 
:{{namespace detect
| main  =  
| other = Other pages text
}}
 
=== Demospace and page ===
For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take two parameters named '''demospace''' and '''page'''.
 
Demospace understands any of the page type names used by this template, including the '''other''' type. It tells the template to behave like it is on some specific type of page. Like this:
 
<pre>
{{namespace detect
| main  = Article text
| other = Other pages text
| demospace = main
}}
</pre>
 
No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this:
 
:{{namespace detect
| main  = Article text
| other = Other pages text
| demospace = main
}}
 
The '''page''' parameter instead takes a normal pagename. It makes this template behave exactly as if on that page. The pagename doesn't have to be an existing page. Like this:


<pre>
{| class="wikitable"
{{namespace detect
|-
| user  = User page text
| 2001 ||
| other = Other pages text
* OxBlue was founded and development of an outdoor 3 megapixel construction camera system solution which included connectivity, archiving and access software was made commercially available.
| page = User:Example
|-
}}
| 2003 ||
</pre>
* OxBlue offers enhanced back-end interface functionality allows users to drill down to specific images and events.
* Image enhancement technology increases the quality of the images and allows users to zoom in on specific details.
* OxBlue develops systems to wirelessly transmit ultra high-resolution images over the nation's cellular network.
|-
| 2006 ||
* OxBlue introduced a 6-megapixel camera system and launched its OxBlue Pro interface featuring the Project Dashboard, which allowed users to monitor dozens of project cameras simultaneously.
|-
| 2007 ||
* OxBlue released a new line of proprietary solar systems.
|-
| 2009 ||
* OxBlue completed the asset acquisition of Digital Job Site.
|-
| 2010 ||
* OxBlue introduced several new camera and workplace tools including: A new line of wireless, robotic PTZ cameras that improve viewing angles and reduce the number of cameras required at large jobsites.
* An 12-megapixel construction camera system, doubling the image resolution of OxBlue’s standard system.
* The ability to produce Blu-ray time-lapse videos for HD viewing.
* A new iPhone/iPad application that enabled users to access all features of the OxBlue interface from any handheld device.
* A standardized API interface that enabled integration with partner and client systems
|-
| 2011 ||
* New interface enhancements make it easier to find images and produce HD-quality, time-lapse videos
|}


No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this:
=== Products ===


:{{namespace detect
[[File:OxBlue Construction Camera.png|thumb|OxBlue Construction Cameras]]
| user  = User page text
| other = Other pages text
| page = User:Example
}}


It can be convenient to let your template understand the demospace and/or page parameter and send it on to the {{tl|namespace detect}} template. Then do like this:
'''Construction Cameras'''
* A choice of 4, 6, 8 and 12 megapixels
* Ability to view images or HD time-lapse movies from a desktop, laptop, smart phone or tablet
* Wireless transmission
* Simple installation and activation
* Rugged, weather-proof enclosure with environmental controls
* The option of solar power for a completely wire-free solution
* Lifetime warranty


<pre>
[[File:OxBlue PTZ Construction Camera.png|thumb|OxBlue PTZ Construction Camera]]
{{namespace detect
| main  = Article text
| other = Other pages text
| demospace = {{{demospace|}}}
| page  = {{{page|}}}
}}
</pre>


If both the '''demospace''' and '''page''' parameters are empty or undefined then the template will detect page types as usual.
'''PTZ (point, tilt, zoom) Cameras'''
* A choice of 4, 6, 8 and 12 megapixels
* Wireless transmission with an integrated controller; no additional onsite networks or devices required
* Fully sealed for outdoor applications (IP67)
* Adaptable to a wide range of construction environments
* Optional solar power for a completely wire-free solution


=== Parameters ===
[[File:OxBlue Solar.png|thumb|OxBlue Solar]]
List of all parameters:
 
<pre>
{{namespace detect
| main  =
...
| other =
| demospace = {{{demospace|}}} / main / talk / user /
              wikipedia / file / mediawiki / template /
              help / category / portal / book / other
| page  = {{{page|}}} / User:Example
}}
</pre>


Note: Empty values to the "main" ... "book" parameters have special meaning.
'''Solar Power Station'''
* Power disconnect
* Lightning arrest
* Charge controller
* Lockable enclosure
* Uninterrupted power to the camera with a minimum reliability of 99.5% based on weather and insulation data specific to the design region
* Over five days of autonomy based on average low temperature for the region
* Marine quality components
* Digital display showing system status and condition


=== Technical details ===
'''Solar Trailer'''
Namespace "Image" was renamed to "File" on 11 December 2008. This template was updated to understand both names well before that, thus it still works fine. For backwards compatibility it still understands "image" both as a parameter name, such as "image = File page text", and as a value "demospace = image".
* Maximum camera mounting height of 30 feet
* No need to mount cameras on poles or buildings
* Solar powered; no electric service required
* Self-contained, with both solar power and wireless connectivity built in


Namespace "Book" was added to the English Wikipedia on 28 December 2009. This template has been updated so it detects the "Book:" namespace as type '''book''', and it already automatically detected "Book talk:" as type '''talk'''.
[[File:OxBlue Software.png|thumb|OxBlue Software]]


If you intend to feed tables as content to the numbered parameters of this template, then you need to know this:
'''Software'''
* Accessible from any desktop, laptop, smart phone or iPad
* Access time-lapse movies
* View a high-resolution image from any specific date and time
* Digital zoom and pan for detailed viewing
* Compare images over multiple days, weeks or months
* Review detailed weather information on every image
* Custom branded interface includes corporate logo and embedded links


[[Help:Template|Templates]] do have a problem to handle parameter data that contains pipes "<code>|</code>", unless the pipe is inside another template <code><nowiki>{{name|param1}}</nowiki></code> or inside a piped link <code><nowiki>[[Help:Template|help]]</nowiki></code>. Thus templates can not handle [[Help:Table|wikitables]] as input unless you escape them by using the {{tn|!}} template. This makes it hard to use wikitables as parameters to templates. Instead the usual solution is to use "[[Help:HTML in wikitext|HTML wikimarkup]]" for the table code, which is more robust.
[[File:OxBlue Time-Lapse.png|thumb|OxBlue Time-Lapse]]


For more technical details such as about "copying to other projects" and "CSS based namespace detection" see {{tl|main talk other}} and its talk page.
'''Time-Lapse Movies'''
* Monitor progress, track back to discover when an issue occurred or analyze performance and sequencing work.
