Mall:Main other

Template documentation

This is the {{main other}} meta-template.

This template helps other templates detect if they are on a main space (article) page or some "other" type of page.

If the template is on a main space (article) page, it will return this:

result if in mainspace

If the template is on any other page, it will return this:

result if elsewhere

Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "main" parameter was left empty.

For testing and demonstration purposes, this template can take a parameter named demospace.

If it has the value main it returns the article text.
It if has the value other or any other value such as the name of some other namespace it returns the other pages text.
If the parameter is empty or undefined, the actual page type determines the result.

No matter on what kind of page the code above is used, it will return: result if in mainspace

This template detects article "Talk:" pages as type other.
