Template: Parameters

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

Usage

{{Parameters}} extracts a specified template's parameters and performs a variety of tasks to aid in its documentation or WP:TFD merge nominations. It itself takes two parameters: |1=, the output format; and |base=, the title of a template. The compare function requires a third parameter, |other=. {{Parameters}} must always be substituted. Its usage is demonstrated below.

Options

check

Generates an invocation of Module:Check for unknown parameters which can be added to a template.

{{subst:Parameters|check|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}

Output 

{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=[[Category:Pages using Template:Infobox high court with unknown parameters]]|court_name|native_name|image|imagesize|width|height|caption|image2|imagesize2|caption2|established|dissolved|country|location|coordinates|motto|type|at|authority|appeals|terms|positions|budget|website|chiefjudgetitle|chiefjudgename|termstart|termend|termend2|chiefjudgetitle2|chiefjudgename2|termstart2|termend3|termend4}}

code

Generates code to display the transclusion syntax (a blank template) which can added to a template's documentation. |pad=yes aligns the equal signs vertically.

{{subst:Parameters|code|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}

Output 

{{Infobox high court
| court_name = 
| native_name = 
| image = 
| imagesize = 
| width = 
| height = 
| caption = 
| image2 =

| chiefjudgetitle = 
| chiefjudgename = 
| termstart = 
| termend = 
| termend2 = 
| chiefjudgetitle2 = 
| chiefjudgename2 = 
| termstart2 = 
| termend3 = 
| termend4 = 
}}

compare

{{subst:Parameters|compare|base=Infobox London station|other=Infobox station}}

demo

Generates an invocation of {{Parameter names example}}, formerly known as {{Generic template demo}}, which can added to a template's documentation.

{{subst:Parameters|demo|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}

Output 

{{Parameter names example|court_name|native_name|image|imagesize|width|height|caption|image2|imagesize2|caption2|established|dissolved|country|location|coordinates|motto|type|at|authority|appeals|terms|positions|budget|website|chiefjudgetitle|chiefjudgename|termstart|termend|termend2|chiefjudgetitle2|chiefjudgename2|termstart2|termend3|termend4}}

dlist

Generates a parameter description list which can be filled in and added to a template's documentation. The output uses the semicolon and colon format where the parameter name is displayed in bold text and the description is indented.

{{subst:Parameters|dlist|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}

Output

; native_name:
; image:

Common use cases

• To add a {{Parameter names example}} to a template's documentation, use: {{subst:Parameters|demo|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}|_base=}}
• To document the transclusion syntax, use: {{subst:#tag:pre|{{subst:Parameters|code|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}|style=overflow: auto;}}
