Template:Extension/TypeSwitch/Doc
From MediaWiki.org
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Extension/TypeSwitch (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
[edit] Purpose
This template is a helper template for Template:Extension. It takes an extension type as a parameter and creates the wiki markup associated with that type. If you would like to add a new type, please add it to this switch statement. Do not add it to the Template:Extension directly.
[edit] Usage
{{Extension/TypeSwitch|type}}
- type - a type. For legal values, see documentation for Template:Extension. In additional to the legal values, two special values exist to facilitate the coding of Template:Extension:
_demomode_- suppresses the addition of categories. The type name that should be displayed is passed as the second parameter, e.g.{{Extension/TypeSwitch|_demomode_|tag}}. Template:Extension uses this as its value when the template is in demo mode so that it doesn't add category links to the host page._missing_- adds the host page to Category:Extensions with invalid or missing type but does not display a label. Template:Extension uses this as its value when no type parameter was provided.
