Template:Main other

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

This template detects whether the page it is used on is in the main (article) or some other namespace, and outputs different content accordingly.

Standard usage

edit

The template takes two parameters, one containing the wikicode to output if used in the main namespace, the other containing the wikicode to output if used in any other namespace. This template can be used to provide errors or warnings if a template is used in an inappropriate namespace.

{{main other|result if in mainspace|result if anywhere else}}

Demospace parameter

edit

The "demospace" parameter can be used to force the template to display the output it would produce in a given namespace, regardless of the namespace it is actually used in.

{{main other|result if in mainspace|result if elsewhere|demospace=main}}

Will force the template to display result if in mainspace, regardless of which namespace it is actually in.
