Template:BookCat
|
This template contains one or more optional parameters: see the talk page for details.
This template employs some extremely complicated and esoteric features of template syntax. Please do not attempt to alter it unless you are certain that you understand the setup and are prepared to repair any consequent collateral damage if the results are unexpected. Any experiments should be conducted in the template sandbox or your user space. |
This template puts the page on which it's used ({{FULLPAGENAME}}) into appropriate categories, based on certain page-naming and page-categorization conventions.
Usage
When used without parameters, it
- places subpages of a book in the book's category (
Category:) and sorts them by chapter name.{{ROOTBOOKNAME}} - places a book's templates in the book's template category (
Category:). This only works if a book's templates begin with{{ROOTBOOKNAME}}/TemplatesTemplate:.{{ROOTBOOKNAME}} - places a book's template category in the book's category and in
Category:Book-specific templates. - places any other category in its parent, sorted by the category's last name. The parent has the same name except removing everything from the last slash on; and the last name is the part that was removed after that last slash. For example,
Category:My Book/Imageswould go inCategory:My Bookwith sort keyImages.
Parameters
Optional parameter filing=deep changes the behavior on book pages, so that a book page with more than one slash in its name is placed in a subcategory of the category where its parent page would be placed, sorted by the page's last name. For example, using {{BookCat|filing=deep}} on page My Book/Maps/Asia would put that page in Category:My Book/Maps with sort key Asia .
Optional parameter template-filing=deep changes the behavior on template pages to deep filing (so Template:My book/Maps/Asia would go in Category:My book/Templates/Maps).
