Template:Hatnote/doc
From Polcompball Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
The hatnotes used for adding links between articles where more context is important. Broadly speaking, a hatnote should answer a readers' question: Am I on the right page?
Usage
Basic usage
{{Hatnote|''text''}}
All parameters
{{Hatnote|''text''|extraclasses=''extra classes''|selfref=''yes''|category=''no''}}
Parameters
This template accepts the following parameters:
1
- the hatnote text (required)extraclasses
- any extra CSS classes to be added.selfref
- If set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", adds the CSS class "selfref". This is used to denote self-references.category
- If set to "no", "n", "false", or "0", suppresses the error tracking category (Category:Hatnote templates with errors). This has an effect only if the leftmost parameter (the hatnote text) is omitted.
Example
{{Hatnote|Example hatnote text}}
→Example hatnote text
Errors
If no hatnote text is supplied, the template will output the following message:
- Error: no text specified (help).
If you see this error message, it is for one of four reasons:
- No parameters were specified (the template code was
{{Hatnote}}
). Please use{{Hatnote|text}}
instead. - Some parameters were specified, but the hatnote text wasn't included. For example, the template text
{{Hatnote|extraclasses=seealso}}
will produce this error. Please use (for example){{Hatnote|text|extraclasses=seealso}}
instead. - The hatnote text was specified, but that text contains an equals sign ("="). The equals sign has a special meaning in template code, and because of this it cannot be used in template parameters that do not specify a parameter name. For example, the template code
{{Hatnote|2+2=4}}
will produce this error. To work around this, you can specify the parameter name explicitly by using1=
before the hatnote text, like this:{{Hatnote|1=2+2=4}}
. - You tried to access Module:Hatnote directly by using
{{#invoke:hatnote|hatnote|text}}
. Use of #invoke in this way has been disabled for performance reasons. Please use{{Hatnote|text}}
instead.
Pages that contain this error message are tracked in Category:Hatnote templates with errors.
