Editing Template:Pagetype/doc (section)

== Basic usage ==
For simple detection of the page type of the current page, use the default settings:

 &#123;{pagetype}}

That will produce the following results, depending on the page type or the [[WP:NAMESPACE|namespace]]:

{| class="wikitable"
! Page type / namespace !! Output
|-
| Redirects (in any namespace) || <code>redirect</code>
|-
| Main namespace || <code>article</code>
|-
| File namespace || <code>file</code>
|-
| Template namespace || <code>template</code>
|-
| Category namespace || <code>category</code>
|-
| Module namespace || <code>module</code>
|-
| Other namespaces || <code>page</code>
|}

If the template is used on a talk page, it will detect the page type for the corresponding subject page.

; Example

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code !! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype}}
|}

=== Page parameter ===
You can use the <code>page</code> parameter to make the template act as though it was called from that page.

 &#123;{pagetype|page=''page name''}}

; Examples

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Code !! Result
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=United Kingdom}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=United Kingdom}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=UK}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=UK}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=Talk:United Kingdom}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=Talk:United Kingdom}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=File:Example.svg}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=File:Example.svg}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=Wikipedia:Namespace}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=Wikipedia:Namespace}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt}}
|}
