Module:Check for unknown parameters is used to check for uses of unknown parameters in a template or module. It may be appended to a template at the end or called directly from a module.
Usage
From a template
To sort entries into a tracking category by parameter, use:
{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]|arg1|arg2|arg3|argN}}
To sort the entries into a tracking category by parameter with a preview error message, use:
{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]|preview=unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
For an explicit red error message, use:
{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=<span class="error">Sorry, I don't recognize _VALUE_</span>|arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
To use Lua patterns, use:
{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]|preview=unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|arg1|arg2|...|argN|regexp1=header[%d]+|regexp2=date[1-9]}}
From a module
To call from a module, use:
local checkForUnknownParameters = require("Module:Check for unknown parameters")
local result = checkForUnknownParameters._check(validArgs, args)
Where the first set of args are the module args below and the second set of args are the parameters that are checked.
Parameters
arg1
,arg2
, ...,argN
, are the known parameters.- Unnamed (positional) parameters can be added too:
|1|2|arg1|arg2|...
. - Lua patterns (similar to regular expressions) usage with parameters is also supported (such as:
|regexp1=header[%d]+
,|regexp2=date[1-9]
,|regexp3=data[%d]+[abc]?
). This is useful when there are many known parameters which use a systematic pattern. |unknown=
– what happens when an uknown parameter is used. Typically use either a tracking category to place pages that use unknown parameters, or an error.|preview=
– the text to be displayed when in preview mode and an unknown parameter is used.- The
_VALUE_
keyword, if used, will be changed to the name of the parameter. This is useful for either sorting the entries in a tracking category, or for provide more explicit information. |ignoreblank=1
– by default, the module makes no distinction between a defined-but-blank parameter and a non-blank parameter. That is, both unlisted|foo=x
and|foo=
are reported. To only track non-blank parameters use|ignoreblank=1
.|showblankpositional=1
– by default, the module ignores blank positional parameters. That is, an unlisted|2=
is ignored. To include blank positional parameters in the tracking use|showblankpositional=1
.
Example
{{Infobox
| above = {{{name|}}}
| label1 = Height
| data1 = {{{height|}}}
| label2 = Weight
| data2 = {{{weight|}}}
| label3 = Website
| data3 = {{{website|}}}
}}<!--
end infobox, start tracking
-->{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check
| unknown = {{Main other|[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]}}
| preview = unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | height | name | website | weight
}}
Call from within Lua code
See the end of Module:Rugby box for a simple example or Module:Infobox3cols or Module:Flag for more complicated examples.
