This Lua module is used on 7,550,000+ pages, or roughly 139634% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module may be appended to a template to check for uses of unknown parameters.
Usage
Basic usage
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check |unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category]] |arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
or to sort the entries in the tracking category by parameter with a preview error message
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check |unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]] |preview=unknown parameter "_VALUE_" |arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
or for an explicit red error message
{{#invoke:check for unknown parameters|check |unknown=<span class="error">Sorry, I don't recognize _VALUE_</span> |arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
Here, arg1
, arg2
, ..., argN
, are the known parameters. Unnamed (positional) parameters can be added too: |1|2|argname1|argname2|...
. Any parameter which is used, but not on this list, will cause the module to return whatever is passed with the unknown
parameter. The _VALUE_
keyword, if used, will be changed to the name of the parameter. This is useful for either sorting the entries in a tracking category, or for provide more explicit information.
By default, the module makes no distinction between a defined-but-blank parameter and a non-blank parameter. That is, both unlisted |foo=x
and |foo=
are reported. To only track non-blank parameters use |ignoreblank=1
.
By default, the module ignores blank positional parameters. That is, an unlisted |2=
is ignored. To include blank positional parameters in the tracking use |showblankpositional=1
.
Lua patterns
This module supports Lua patterns (similar to regular expressions), which are useful when there are many known parameters which use a systematic pattern. For example, template:infobox3cols uses
| regexp1 = header[%d][%d]* | regexp2 = label[%d][%d]* | regexp3 = data[%d][%d]*[abc]? | regexp4 = class[%d][%d]*[abc]? | regexp5 = rowclass[%d][%d]* | regexp6 = rowstyle[%d][%d]* | regexp7 = rowcellstyle[%d][%d]*
to match all parameters of the form headerNUM
, labelNUM
, dataNUM
, dataNUMa
, dataNUMb
, dataNUMc
, ..., rowcellstyleNUM
, where NUM is a string of digits.
Example
{{Infobox | above = {{{name|}}} | label1 = Height | data1 = {{{height|}}} | label2 = Weight | data2 = {{{weight|}}} | label3 = Website | data3 = {{{website|}}} }}<!-- end infobox, start tracking -->{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check | unknown = {{main other|[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]}} | preview = unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | name | height | weight | website }}
Templates invoking this module
The following is a list of some of the templates which invoke this module, with the associated category for each.
For a more up-to-date list, search for the "check for unknown parameters" within the template namespace.
See also
- Category:Unknown parameters (0) (category page can have {{Unknown params category}})
- module:TemplatePar (originally from dewiki)
- Template:Parameters and Module:Parameters – generates a list of parameter names for a given template
- he:Module:ParamValidator - parameter validation system on hewiki, relies on TemplateData. module doc in English. checks the following:
- use of undeclared parameters
- use of parameters marked in templatedata "deprecated"
- mistyped (mainly, params declared in templatedata as "number" receiving non-numerical value)
- missing parameters marked in TemplateData as "required"
- understands aliases, and warns when more than one alias of a parameter is used
