Template:Uses TemplateStyles/doc

This template is used to show that templates have been converted to use Extension:TemplateStyles, using the Wikipedia TemplateStyles template. It is placed at the top of the template's /doc page. It automatically adds the template to Category:Templates using TemplateStyles, or to one of its subcategories.

Installation

Extension:TemplateStyles is not installed. It is bypassed in Module:Citation/CS1 and has been removed from Template:Refbegin.

How to bypass this extension and template

• In templates: Comment out or remove any <templatestyles src=. See Template:Refbegin edit.
• In modules: Replace any templatestyles lines, e.g. using alternative code to return parameters, as in this Module:Citation/CS1 example.

Alternatives

Styles can be added to MediaWiki:Common.css instead.

Usage

Basic

{{Uses TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles page name}}

All parameters

{{Uses TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles page 1|TemplateStyles page 2|TemplateStyles page 3|...|category=custom category|nocat=true}}

The first TemplateStyles page name is required.

TemplateStyles sandboxes

Note that if a sandbox version of the TemplateStyle exists, it will also be linked. This is only for sandbox versions. The subpage name of the sandbox version should be the same, but as a subpage of the templates sandbox. For example, if the TemplateStyles page name is Template:Foo/styles.css, then the sandbox version should be Template:Foo/sandbox/styles.css

Examples

One style page

{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Arrowlist/styles.css}}

Multiple style pages

{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Arrowlist/styles.css|Template:Routemap/styles.css}}

Sandbox version of style page exists

{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Uses TemplateStyles/example.css}}

No style pages specified

{{Uses TemplateStyles}}

Categories

Template category

This template adds pages to Category:Templates using TemplateStyles if the page is in the template namespace, and it is not on any of the subpages /doc, /sandbox, /sandbox2 or /testcases. You can specify a different category with the |category= parameter, e.g. |category=Lua String-based templates.

Error category

If no modules are specified, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Uses TemplateStyles templates with errors.

Protection level category

TemplateStyles should have the same protection level as the template they are used on. If a difference is detected, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Templates using TemplateStyles with a different protection level.

Category suppression

To suppress all categories, use |nocat=true. (As well as "true", the values "yes", "y", and "1" will also work.)
