The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.
Goal
This template can be used to show a different text if it is not used on a page in the help namespace, the namespace used for help pages. It can also be used for category suppression, to avoid that a page is categorized if it is not in the help namespace
If more than one namespace need to be handled, use {{namespace detect}}.
Usage
{{help other|text if help|text if other |demospace=}}
All parameters are optional.
- text if help
- Text to use if the template is on a page in the help namespace.
- text if other
- Text to use if the template is on a page in any other namespace.
- demospace
- Namespace override. If it is empty or undefined the namespace of the page with the template on will be used, if it is help then text if help will be shown and if it is other or any other namespace then text if other will be used.
Examples
Text selection
Since this is not a help page {{help other|this text will not be shown|this text will be shown}}.
Since this is not a help page this text will be shown.
However with {{help other|a little bit of cheating|this text will not be shown|demospace=help}}...
However with a little bit of cheating...
Category suppression
Using the template like this will only categorize a page when it is in the help namespace:
{{help other|[[Category:Help]]}}
