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.

Common use cases

• To add a {{Parameter names example}} to a template's documentation, use: {{subst:Parameters|demo|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}
• To document the transclusion syntax, use: {{subst:Parameters|code|base={{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}}}

Options

check

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

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

Generated wikitext

{{#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 display of 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}}}}

Example of {{subst:Parameters|code|base=Infobox court|pad=yes}}

{{Infobox court | court_name = | native_name = | image = | imagesize = | alt = | caption = | image2 = | imagesize2 = | alt2 = | caption2 = | established = | dissolved = | jurisdiction = | location = | coordinates = | motto = | type = | at = | authority = | appealsto = | appeals = | appealsfrom = | terms = | positions = | budget = | language = | tribunal-type = | website = | chiefjudgetitle = | chiefjudgename = | termstart = | termend = | termend2 = | chiefjudgetitle2 = | chiefjudgename2 = | termstart2 = | termend3 = | termend4 = | chiefjudgetitle3 = | chiefjudgename3 = | termstart3 = | termend5 = | division_map = | division_map_size = | division_map_alt = | division_caption = }}

flatcode

Generates code to display the transclusion syntax (a blank template) which can added to a template's documentation. The automatically added values can the be edited manually.

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

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}}}}

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}}}}

Example of {{subst:Parameters|dlist|base=Infobox court}}

court_name native_name image imagesize alt caption image2 imagesize2 alt2 caption2 established dissolved jurisdiction location coordinates motto type at authority appealsto appeals appealsfrom terms positions budget language tribunal-type website chiefjudgetitle chiefjudgename termstart termend termend2 chiefjudgetitle2 chiefjudgename2 termstart2 termend3 termend4 chiefjudgetitle3 chiefjudgename3 termstart3 termend5 division_map division_map_size division_map_alt division_caption

dlistpara

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 using template {{para}} the description is indented.

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

Example of {{subst:Parameters|dlistpara|base=Infobox court}}

|court_name= |native_name= |image= |imagesize= |alt= |caption= |image2= |imagesize2= |alt2= |caption2= |established= |dissolved= |jurisdiction= |location= |coordinates= |motto= |type= |at= |authority= |appealsto= |appeals= |appealsfrom= |terms= |positions= |budget= |language= |tribunal-type= |website= |chiefjudgetitle= |chiefjudgename= |termstart= |termend= |termend2= |chiefjudgetitle2= |chiefjudgename2= |termstart2= |termend3= |termend4= |chiefjudgetitle3= |chiefjudgename3= |termstart3= |termend5= |division_map= |division_map_size= |division_map_alt= |division_caption=

list

Generates a parameter description list which can be filled in and added to a template's documentation. Similar to dlist but uses asterisks which will generate a bulleted list.

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

Example of {{subst:Parameters|list|base=Infobox court}}

court_name native_name image imagesize alt caption image2 imagesize2 alt2 caption2 established dissolved jurisdiction location coordinates motto type at authority appealsto appeals appealsfrom terms positions budget language tribunal-type website chiefjudgetitle chiefjudgename termstart termend termend2 chiefjudgetitle2 chiefjudgename2 termstart2 termend3 termend4 chiefjudgetitle3 chiefjudgename3 termstart3 termend5 division_map division_map_size division_map_alt division_caption

compare

Generates a comparison of the parameters available in two different templates.

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