Revision as of 10:24, 25 December 2012

This template offers a multiple choice for defining the inventory position category of an (item) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

• row: The selected row position, in the range 1 - 5 or "none" (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown")
• column: The selected column position, in the range 1 - 7 or "none" (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown")
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen categories (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Syntax

{{Infobox Item/position|row=value|column=value}}

Examples

Commun use includes both the row and column parameters, like this:

{{Infobox Item/position|row=3|column=5}}
{{Infobox Item/position|column=3|row=2}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=none|column=none}}

Row 3 ^{[list all]} Column 5 ^{[list all]}

Row 2 ^{[list all]} Column 3 ^{[list all]}

None ^{[list all]}

You should not specify only row or column without a valid position (which would raise the Items of invalid position maintenance task), so these both have similar results:

{{Infobox Item/position|row=none|column=2}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=2|column=none}}

invalid ^{[list all]} Column 2 ^{[list all]}

Row 2 ^{[list all]} invalid ^{[list all]}

You may also leave the "position" undefined (which would raise the Items of unknown position maintenance task) by not specifying any valid values, so these all have the same result:

{{Infobox Item/position}}
{{Infobox Item/position|}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=}}
{{Infobox Item/position|column=}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=|column=}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=7|column=26273}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=hello|column=world}}

unknown ^{[list all]} unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{Infobox Item/position|row=3|column=5|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Row 3 items and Category:Column 5 items. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance tasks mentioned above.
