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}}

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

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

You don't have to specify "position" for items that don't appear in the inventory, by specifying the "none" value for both parameters, so this won't display anything:

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

Instead, this would still categorize the page under the Noninventory items category, inline with the other values above.

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]}

It should not be possible for an item to only have a row position and no column position, or vice versa, so having only one of them specify "none" is invalid (which would also raise the Items of unknown position maintenance task):

{{Infobox Item/position|row=18|column=2}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=none|column=2}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=2|column=18}}
{{Infobox Item/position|row=2|column=none}}

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

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

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

Row 2 ^{[list all]} invalid ^{[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.
