<p>format</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{High-use}}<br /> {{Lua|Module:Parameter validation/default config}}<br /> <br /> This module helps you find problematic usages of a template&#039;s parameters. Compared to [[Module:Check for unknown parameters]], you do not need to create long lists of parameters which should be categorised; it will automatically read them from the template&#039;s TemplateData. This means you don&#039;t need to define the parameter configuration in multiple places, which will inevitably lead to it being out of sync.<br /> <br /> As well as that, it supports a few other types of errors, such as defining the same parameter multiple times, or using deprecated parameters (useful to do so you can replace usages before removing support for a parameter entirely).<br /> <br /> == Basic usage ==<br /> <br /> Add this to the bottom of a template:<br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;<br /> {{#invoke:Parameter validation|validateparams|module_options = Module:Parameter validation/default config}}<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> This will use the default config defined in [[Module:Parameter validation/default config]]. The module will begin to populate the following categories:<br /> <br /> * Category:Pages using TEMPLATE_NAME with unknown parameters<br /> * Category:Pages using TEMPLATE_NAME with deprecated parameters<br /> * Category:Pages using TEMPLATE_NAME with duplicate parameters<br /> <br /> For example, for {{t|Infobox station}}, it will populate:<br /> * [[:Category:Pages using infobox station with unknown parameters]]<br /> * [[:Category:Pages using infobox station with deprecated parameters]]<br /> * [[:Category:Pages using infobox station with duplicate parameters]]<br /> <br /> Note that:<br /> * Unknown parameters means a page calling the template used a parameter that does not exist in the template documentation&#039;s TemplateData section<br /> * Deprecated parameters means a page calling the template used a parameter which, in the template&#039;s TemplateData, has the &#039;deprecated&#039; option ticked<br /> * Duplicate parameters means a page calling the template and set a value for a parameter and one or more of its aliases<br /> <br /> ==Use in protected templates==<br /> Note that because templates&#039; TemplateData code typically lives in unprotected /doc pages, protected templates that invoke this module can be made to incorrectly categorize pages by editors who do not have user rights sufficient to edit the template page itself.<br /> <br /> == Full documentation ==<br /> This module is based on idea and original code of [[User:IKhitron]].<br /> <br /> The source of this module, along with the original documentation, can be found at [[:he:Module:ParamValidator]].<br /> <br /> &lt;includeonly&gt;{{sandbox other||<br /> &lt;!-- Categories go here and interwikis go in Wikidata. --&gt;<br /> [[Category:Modules that add a tracking category]]<br /> [[Category:Template metamodules]]<br /> }}&lt;/includeonly&gt;</div>
