Template:Department:Page/doc

update use count

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}}.

Parameters

Parameters of {{Department:Page}}

Name	Function
|description=	Specifies the description of the subject matter the department covers.
|namespace=	Specifies which namespace should be searched through for books; defaults to the main namespace. (optional)
|reserved=	Specifies the description of a reserved shelf for the department, or blank to indicate there should be an inclusive shelf for the department instead of a reserved shelf; default is general references. (optional)
|1=	Needs to be passed through from the department page to this template, otherwise it would not be possible for a transcluding page to override the display function.
— Cosmetic parameters, less often used —
|theme=	Specifies the {{Robox}} theme for the description box; defaults to 15. (optional)
|theme2=	Specifies the {{Robox}} theme for the books box; defaults to 3. (optional)
|icon=	Specifies the logo displayed in the description box without the File: included; defaults to the Wikibooks logo. (optional)
|iconwidth=	Specifies the width of the logo displayed in the description box with px included; defaults to 45px. (optional)

These are provided as a convenient source from which to copy and paste for use on a new 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.
