Template:If ns/doc

This page contains the documentation for Template:If ns. It includes information about the template, such as usage and categories, and is not displayed when using the template itself.

This template is used to give different behavior in different namespaces. For example, you may not want to apply categories when a particular template is used outside of the mainspace.

Parameters

• first unnamed parameter: the namespace to check the current namespace against.
  • You can use the namespace name (first letter is case insensitive), or the number if required (name is preferred for readability).
  • To check against the main namespace, use "main" or 0.
  • Remember that namespaces start at main = 0 and talk namespaces are odd.
  • As with links, "Project" is an alias for the site namespace (NPOWiki:)
• second unnamed parameter: what to do if the current namespace equals the tested namespace.
• third unnamed parameter: what to do if the namespaces are different.

Examples

• {{if ns|template|this is a template page|not a template page}} produces: this is a template page
• {{if ns|0|mainspace page|not mainspace}} produces: not mainspace
