Template:Infobox Story/type

This template offers a multiple choice for defining the type category of a (story) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

1. The selected type from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
   • adventure
   • legend
   • newspaper
   • 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 should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{Infobox Story/type|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{Infobox Story/type|adventure}}
{{Infobox Story/type|legend}}
{{Infobox Story/type|newspaper}}

Adventure ^{[list all]}

Legend ^{[list all]}

Newspaper ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox Story/type|adVENTure}}

Adventure ^{[list all]}

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

{{Infobox Story/type}}
{{Infobox Story/type|}}
{{Infobox Story/type|novel}}
{{Infobox Story/type|life}}
{{Infobox Story/type|building}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

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

{{Infobox Story/type|adventure|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Adventures. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
