View source for Template:Check talk wp/doc

=== Usage ===

This template may be incorporated into other templates that are intended to be used only on talk pages or "Wikipedia:" space pages. If a template containing it is added to a page in any subject space other than Wikipedia space, then a warning message will be displayed encouraging people to use that template only on talk pages.  The current text of the warning message is:

<center>'''''This [[Help:Template|template]] is misplaced. It belongs on the [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]:'' [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}]].'''</center>

It also adds the pages to [[:Category:Pages with misplaced templates]] for easier tracking and rectification.

This template can simply be used like this:

:<code><nowiki>{{check talk wp}}</nowiki></code>

But if you want to have the ability to selectively turn off this template, for instance if you show your template on a Help page, then use this template like this:

:<code><nowiki>{{check talk wp| nocat={{{nocat|}}} }}</nowiki></code>

Then you can feed "<code>nocat = true</code>" to your template when you demonstrate it on a page, and then this template will not show any error message and will not categorize it.
