Template:Unknown parameters category

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is for use on category pages that are populated by Module:Check for unknown parameters.

To use it, add the following to the category page:

{{Unknown parameters category|TEMPLATE_NAME}}

where TEMPLATE_NAME is the name of the template the category is tracking.

The template will display two message boxes, a table of contents, and add the category page to Category:Unknown parameters.

If the first word of TEMPLATE_NAME is Infobox, the template also adds the category page to Category:Infoboxes with unknown parameters.

Examples

With parameter

{{Unknown parameters category|Infobox writer}}

This is a maintenance category. It is used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference 'Show hidden categories' is set.
This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. Pages are added to tracking categories through templates.

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category contains pages transcluding Template:Infobox writer (talk) with unknown parameters (undefined, misspelled, etc.).

Pages are typically sorted alphabetically by the unknown parameter that is used, e.g. pages using unknown parameter |foo= will be sorted under "F". The name of the page is typically used as a secondary sort key.

Unknown parameters can be detected using Module:Check for unknown parameters in the template. To show the information listed here on a category page, use {{Unknown parameters category}} on the category page.
