Template:Incorrect redirect template

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

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. This template has been designed to ignore pages that are not redirects.

1st parameter

The 1st parameter inserts text in the message to specify in which namespace the redirect in question should (or should not) be categorized.

Example 1

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

produces:

In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorize redirects in the help namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages outside the help namespace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category.

2nd parameter

The 2nd parameter inserts text in the message to specify a second namespace in which the redirect in question should (or should not) be categorized.

Example 2

{{Ombox
| type = notice
| text = Example text.
}}<includeonly>{{Help other|[[Category:Example category]]|{{Incorrect redirect template|[[Help:help|help]]|[[WP:Mainspace|main]]}}}}</includeonly>

produces:

In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorize pages in the help namespace or the main namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages outside the help namespace or mainspace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category.

3rd parameter

This parameter is used when the text should read "...should only be used to categorize redirects that are outside ..." (instead of "in" ...).

Example 3

{{Ombox
| type = notice
| image = [[File:Stop hand orange.svg|50px]]
| text = Example text.
}}<includeonly>{{Help other|[[Category:Example category]]|{{Incorrect redirect template|[[Help:help|help]]||outside}}}}</includeonly>

Note: Two pipes together are used to yield an "empty" 2nd parameter.

produces:

In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorise pages outside the help namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages that are in the help namespace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category. If a second namespace must be specified, then turn the empty 2nd parameter into a namespace link:

Example 3.1

{{Ombox
| type = notice
| image = [[File:Stop hand orange.svg|50px]]
| text = Example text.
}}<includeonly>{{Help other|[[Category:Example category]]|{{Incorrect redirect template|[[Help:help|help]]|[[WP:Mainspace|main]]|outside}}}}</includeonly>

produces:

Also note that "or" is changed to "and" (help namespace "and" the main namespace).
