Template:Unknown parameters category
Usage
This template is a page header for a category page that is populated by Module:Check for unknown parameters.
To use it, add the following to the category page:
- Template:Tlxi
- where
TEMPLATE_NAME
is the name of the template the category is tracking.
The header displays message boxes, a table of contents, and will add the category page to Category:Unknown parameters.
When the first word of TEMPLATE_NAME
is Infobox, the template also adds the category page to Category:Infoboxes with unknown parameters.
- Full syntax
- {{Unknown parameters category|1= |catsort= |is_infobox= |infobox_sort= }}

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain a list or lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in resources and category maintenance. It is not part of the categorization scheme for learners.

This category contains pages transcluding Template:Infobox writer (talk) with unknown parameters (undefined, misspelled, etc.).
Pages are typically sorted alphabetically by the unknown parameter that is used, e.g. pages using unknown parameter |foo=
will be sorted under "F". The name of the page is typically used as a secondary sort key.
Unknown parameters can be detected using Module:Check for unknown parameters in the template. To show the information listed here on a category page, use {{Unknown parameters category}} on the category page.
(This example would also add the category page to Category:Unknown parameters and Category:Infoboxes with unknown parameters).
