Template:Incorrect redirect template
 | The above rcat template should only be used to categorize redirects that are in the {{{1}}} namespace. |
 | This template should not be substituted. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
This template is for use in other templates in conjunction with namespace detection. It adds pages to Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace. This template has been designed to ignore pages that are not redirects.
1st parameter
The 1st parameter inserts text in the message to specify in which namespace the redirect in question should (or should not) be categorized.
Example 1
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%;overflow:auto;">
| Example text. |
</syntaxhighlight>
- produces:
| Example text. |
| The above rcat template should only be used to categorize redirects that are in the help namespace. |
- In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorize redirects in the help namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages outside the help namespace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category.
2nd parameter
The 2nd parameter inserts text in the message to specify a second namespace in which the redirect in question should (or should not) be categorized.
Example 2
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%;overflow:auto;">
| Example text. |
</syntaxhighlight>
- produces:
| Example text. |
| The above rcat template should only be used to categorize redirects that are in the help namespace or the main namespace. |
- In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorize pages in the help namespace or the main namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages outside the help namespace or mainspace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category.
3rd parameter
This parameter is used when the text should read "...should only be used to categorize redirects that are outside ..." (instead of "in" ...).
Example 3
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%;overflow:auto;">
| Example text. |
</syntaxhighlight>
- Note: Two pipes together are used to yield an "empty" 2nd parameter.
- produces:
| Example text. |
| The above rcat template should only be used to categorize redirects that are outside the help namespace. |
- In the above example, transcluding the message box will categorise pages outside the help namespace into Category:Example category, and for pages that are in the help namespace will produce this template's error message beneath the message box and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace instead of Category:Example category. If a second namespace must be specified, then turn the empty 2nd parameter into a namespace link:
- Example 3.1
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="font-size:95%;overflow:auto;">
| Example text. |
</syntaxhighlight>
- produces:
| Example text. |
| The above rcat template should only be used to categorize redirects that are outside the help namespace and the main namespace. |
- Also note that "or" is changed to "and" (help namespace "and" the main namespace).
