This module may be appended to a template to check for uses of unknown parameters.
Contents
Usage
Basic usage
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check | unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category]] | arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
Or to sort the entries in the tracking category by parameter with a preview error message:
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check | unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]] | preview=unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
Or for an explicit red error message:
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check | unknown=<span class="error">Sorry, I don’t recognize _VALUE_</span> | arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
Here, arg1
, arg2
, ..., argN
, are the known parameters. Unnamed (positional) parameters can be added too: |1|2|argname1|argname2|...
. Any parameter which is used, but not on this list, will cause the module to return whatever is passed with the unknown
parameter. The _VALUE_
keyword, if used, will be changed to the name of the parameter. This is useful for either sorting the entries in a tracking category, or for provide more explicit information.
By default, the module makes no distinction between a defined‐but‐blank parameter and a non‐blank parameter. That is, both unlisted |foo=x
and |foo=
are reported. To only track non‐blank parameters use |ignoreblank=1
.
By default, the module ignores blank positional parameters. That is, an unlisted |2=
is ignored. To include blank positional parameters in the tracking use |showblankpositional=1
.
Lua patterns
This module supports Lua patterns (similar to regular expressions), which are useful when there are many known parameters which use a systematic pattern.
Example
{{Infobox | above = {{{name|}}} | label1 = Height | data1 = {{{height|}}} | label2 = Weight | data2 = {{{weight|}}} | label3 = Website | data3 = {{{website|}}} }}<!-- end infobox, start tracking -->{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check | unknown = {{main other|[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]}} | preview = unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | name | height | weight | website }}
