Template:RootPage/doc View history

Revision as of 14:48, 17 July 2014 by Kentsmith9 (talk | contribs) (testing)
This is a documentation subpage for Template:RootPage.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses the #titleparts parser function extension to extract only the root of the page name.

Usage

Place {{RootPage}} where the root of the current page name is desired. An optional parameter is a pagename other than the current pagename.

Pagename {{RootPage}}
USA/CommonState/Test USA
USA USA

A special version of this template is {{RootPage2}} where it operates the same and Template:Tlc except if the root page is USA it uses the second subpage. This enables the automation of USA/CommonState to display normally if it is the sample template or deployed on an actual state page without further modifications.

Pagename {{RootPage2}}
USA/CommonState/Test CommonState
USA/CommonState CommonState
Arizona/To do Arizona
Arizona/Test/To do Arizona
Arizona/Test/To do/Main Arizona

A related version of this template is {{BasePage2}} where it operates the same as Template:Tlc except it uses the basepage. This enables the automation of USA/CommonState to display normally if it is deployed on test pages. The state page can then be tested without affecting the original page and after testing is complete it can be moved along with all the subpages to the primary page.

Pagename {{BasePage2}}
USA/CommonState/Test USA/CommonState
USA/CommonState USA/CommonState
Arizona/To do Arizona
Arizona/Test/To do Arizona/Test
Arizona/Test/To do/Main Arizona/Test
