Template:File other/doc

This is the image other meta-template.

It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on.

Usage
This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

If the template is on an image page, it will return this:



If the template is on any other page, it will return this:



A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on image pages. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template. Like this:

Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:

Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "image" parameter was left empty.

For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take a parameter named demospace: if it has the values image or other it makes the template behave as if it is on a page of that type; if the parameter is empty or undefined, the actual page type determines the result.

Advanced usage
This template works like main talk other, for more examples and technical details see full documentation there.

Note that this template detects "Image talk:" pages as type other.
