Usage
Use this template on a department page in the Wikibooks Stacks; everything on the department page other than the template call should be wrapped in <noinclude>...</noinclude>.
The template primarily provides a detailed display of information about the department, including its description, its children (immediate sub-shelves), and featured books on any of its shelves. It only performs that primary function if called from a PAGENAME with the prefix and not overridden by unnamed parameter.
The corresponding template for shelves is {{Shelf:Page}}.

Internals
This template itself determines which sort of information request is being made, and either provides information directly, or delegates the display function to {{Department:Page/display}}. Delegation is done using Module:TScope#override, so that the subtemplate can tell which parameters were not provided, in order to supply default values for them.
When the transcluding page is in mainspace, has PAGENAME prefix Department:, and is not overridden by a non-blank first unnamed parameter, this template delegates to produce a full display. If the unnamed parameter has value reserved, this template returns the value of its parameter reserved. Otherwise, this template returns its own name, Department:Page.
