 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Subpage other. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 230,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template checks whether the current page is a subpage or not. A subpage is a page that has a slash:
- [[Template:Parentpage/Subpage]]
Exception: in article space (mainspace) the slash is part of the title, and there are no subpages. Example, AC/DC is a parent page not a subpage.
Usage example: both Template:Infobox element isotopes and Template:Infobox element isotopes/infotable use documentation page Template:Infobox element isotopes/doc. We only want to categorise the parent page. So in the /doc page we add:
{{Subpage other|<!-- do not categorise -->|[[Category:Chemical element infobox]]}}
- Note
- WP:Subpage uses an other definition than magic word
{{SUBPAGENAME}}. This template uses the former definition (pagename has an after-slash part).
