ਫਰਮਾ:Template parameter usage/doc

The Template Parameters tool is available for viewing template parameter usage in articles. It works with TemplateData to show the frequency of parameter name usage in a template's mainspace transclusions, along with whether or not each parameter is listed in that template's TemplateData code as a supported parameter. For a required parameter, it can display a list of pages where the template is missing that parameter. The tool also shows commonly used values for each parameter. Each report is updated monthly and does not reflect changes made to articles or to the TemplateData code after the report's generation.

Usage

Example:

• {{Infobox lighthouse}}/documentation: Template:Infobox_lighthouse § TemplateData → "Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report ..." → [1].

Parameters

{{Template parameter usage
| 1    = <!-- template:name, default=pagename -->
| lc   = <!-- yes/no -->
| label= <!-- keywords like "for", or free labeltext -->
}}

All parameters are optional, and have a default

By default, the template links for the template page:

{{Template parameter usage}} → Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for this template. [for this page]

One can enter a template name:

{{Template parameter usage|Infobox film}} → Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Infobox film.

Optional:

• |lc=yes for lowercase "click": click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Infobox film.
• Entering |1=Template:Infobox film is accepted (namespace is removed). Editor friendly, using a positional parameter.

When |1= is used, "this template" text changes: → Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Infobox film.

• |label= sets the visible text; it does not change the target link:

|label= default → Click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Infobox film.

|label=none → Parameter usage report

|label=for → Parameter usage report for Template:Infobox film.

|label=FooBar → FooBar

• |based=yes adds the text "based on this TemplateData" to the end of the template (or "based on its TemplateData" if |1= is also used).

The template is included in transclusions of {{TemplateData header}}.

Error reports

{{Template parameter usage|Example}} makes a link to the error report for Template:Example:

The first character can be made lowercase to follow on at the end of a sentence:

Blah, {{Template parameter usage|lc=yes}} → Blah, click here to see a monthly parameter usage report for this template.
