Template:Template other/doc

This is the template other meta-template.

It helps other templates detect if they are on a "Template:" page or some "other" type of page.

Usage
This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

If the template is on a "Template:" page, it will return this:



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



A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when not on a template page. Thus not adding the template itself and other templates that are built with it to the category. Like this:

Note that in the example above the "template" parameter was left empty.

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


 * If it has the value template it returns the template page 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.

Like this:

No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this:



You can make it so your template also understands the demospace parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template. Then do like this:
