Template:Shelf:Page/Check maxcount/doc

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

This template checks the status of an expected shelf category page.

Place this template on a page that expects the shelf category to exist. Parameters, as of this writing, are

  • shelf — required — the name of the shelf, without the Shelf: prefix.
  • maxcount — optioal — the current maximum list size requested by the shelf, if any.

Internals

[edit source]

Compares the size of the associated allblooks category to the currently requested maximum list size. If the associated allbooks category is larger, adds the current page to Category:Book:Wikibooks Stacks/Attention needed, generates a text message, and provides a button to request a larger maximum via ordinary editing of a wikipage. A contemplated upgrade would detect availability of dialog and replace the editing button with one for a dialog-based assistant.
