This Lua module is used on ४५,००,०००+ pages, or roughly 5784% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This module may be appended to a template to check for uses of unknown parameters.
Usage
सम्पादयतुBasic usage
सम्पादयतु{{#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. 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. To only track non-blank parameters use |ignoreblank=1
.
By default, the module ignores blank positional parameters. To include blank positional parameters in the tracking use |showblankpositional=1
.
Lua patterns
सम्पादयतुThis module supports Lua patterns (similar to regular expressions), which are useful when there are many known parameters which use a systematic pattern. For example, template:infobox3cols uses
| regexp1 = header[%d][%d]* | regexp2 = label[%d][%d]* | regexp3 = data[%d][%d]*[abc]? | regexp4 = class[%d][%d]*[abc]? | regexp5 = rowclass[%d][%d]* | regexp6 = rowstyle[%d][%d]* | regexp7 = rowcellstyle[%d][%d]*
to match all parameters of the form headerNUM
, labelNUM
, dataNUM
, dataNUMa
, dataNUMb
, dataNUMc
, ..., rowcellstyleNUM
, where NUM is a string of digits.
Example
सम्पादयतु{{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 = [[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]] | preview = unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | name | height | weight | website }}

सम्पादयतु- module:TemplatePar (originally from dewiki)
- Template:Parameters and Module:Parameters – generates a list of parameter names for a given template
- he:Module:ParamValidator - parameter validation system on hewiki, relies on TemplateData. some of the things checked are:
- use of undeclared parameters, parameters marked in templatedata "deprecated"
- mistyped (mainly, params declared in templatedata as "number" receiving non-numerical value)
- missing parameters marked in TemplateData as "required"
- understands aliases, and warns when more than one alias of a parameter is used
- quite a lot more
