This template offers a multiple choice for specifying the purpose of another template. It can also automatically categorize the page of that template under the category for that purpose.
Parameters
- The selected purpose from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
- formatting
- infobox
- messagebox
- website
- any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown
- nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).
Note: more category values may be added depending on the purpose of any newly added template, provided the category pages in question are also created and organized into a logical category structure.
Syntax
{{Infobox Template/purpose|value}}
Examples
Any of the above values may be used like this:
{{Infobox Template/purpose|formatting}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|infobox}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|messagebox}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|website}}
The case of the value is not important:
{{Infobox Template/purpose|forMattING}}
- Formatting [list all]
You may leave the "purpose" undefined (which would raise the Templates of unknown purpose maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:
{{Infobox Template/purpose}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|documentation}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|feels like destiny}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|purr-pose}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|not a cat}}
{{Infobox Template/purpose|yes}}
- unknown [list all]
The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):
{{Infobox Template/purpose|formatting|nocat=true}}
This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Formatting templates. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
