Returns a generalized term for a page's thingamabob … err … Wotsitcalled? Right … Namespace!
The "return value" is used in several templates to create different phrases and categories or as a condition where {{main talk file other}} is too generic.
Usage[edit]
- {{thingamabob}} for the thingamabob's namespace
- {{thingamabob|section}} for a section in this thingamabob
Parameters[edit]
| Parameter | Parameter description | req./opt. |
|---|---|---|
| {{{1}}} | a supplemental noun such as section or paragraph added to thingamabob | optional |
Known issues[edit]
An attempt to create a plural of the resulting string via {{thingamabob}}s may look odd or become grammatically wrong. Localisation can be tough and should probably defer the strings to system messages.
The default behaviour is to return {{lc:{{NAMESPACE}}}}, hence if new namespaces are added to the wiki, {{thingamabob}} may require an update to reflect or "rename" the content type of those namespaces.
See also[edit]
- {{main talk file other}} for a more generic version but an option to return individual labels per namespace group.
