Template:Subpage other/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Subpage other.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page.

This template is used on many pages.

To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit.

Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template checks whether the current page is a subpage or not. A subpage is a page that has a slash:

[[Template:Parentpage/Subpage]]

Exception: in article space (mainspace) the slash is part of the title, and there are no subpages. Example, AC/DC is a parent page not a subpage.

Usage example: We only want to categorise the parent page. So in the /doc page we add:

{{Subpage other||[[Category:Chemical element infobox]]}}

Note: WP:Subpage uses an other definition than magic word {{SUBPAGENAME}}. This template uses the former definition (pagename has an after-slash part).
