Template:Incorrect namespace

Template documentation

This documentation is  transcluded from Template:Incorrect namespace/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

Usage

This template is for use in other templates in conjunction with namespace detection. It adds pages to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace. The template has been designed to not work in the template namespace so templates transcluding this template can be viewed normally. The template also does not work on sub-pages titled "sandbox" or "testcases" or on  Wikipedia:Sandbox.

{{Single namespace}} can be used instead of this template if only one namespace is specified (such as in the example below).

Parameters

unnamed parameter 1

(required) This parameter inserts text in the message to specify the namespace the template in question should use.

|nocat =

(optional) when set to a positive value (true, yes, or 1), will prevent the inclusion of Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace. See  Wikipedia:Category suppression

Example

{{Ombox
| type = notice
| text = Example text.
}}<includeonly>{{Help other|[[Category:Example category]]|{{Incorrect namespace|help}}}}</includeonly>

produces:

In the above example, {{Help other}} is used to add pages in the help namespace to Category:Example category. For pages outside the help namespace, {{Incorrect namespace|help}} is used to display the error message box and add the page to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace. To omit the error category, use {{Incorrect namespace|help|nocat=true}}.
