Template:Set index article/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the {{Set index article}} template.

It can be used without any parameters to mark a page as a generic set index article. Like this:

Template:Tlc

Which renders like this:

It then categorises the page into Category:Set indices.

This template can also be fed a name of a type of set index article. For instance like this:

Template:Tlc

And it will then categorise the page into Category:Set indices on comics, but no change is made to the template's appearance on-page, which is still:

To add a category sort key, use for example:

Template:Tlc

or if no type is given (note the double pipe):

Template:Tlc

Technical details

If the page name starts with "List" it does not show the "If an internal link led you here" sentence, since such pages are not likely to be unintentionally linked to.

This template only categorises a page if the page is in the main (article) space. Thus it will not categorise for instance a talk page or this template page where it might be shown or discussed.
