Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is the {{high-use}} message box.

It is meant to be put at the top of the documentation subpage for templates transcluded onto more than 2,000 pages. For templates transcluded onto more than 100,000 pages, or if the first parameter is set to risk, a stronger wording is given. See Wikipedia:High-risk templates for background information.

Note: It is normal for some of the links in the message box to be red.

Usage

{{High-use}}

{{High-use|2=discussion page, or use + notation|info=additional text}}

all parameters

{{High-use |1= |2= |info= |demo= |form= |expiry= }}

The template can be used as is, and will automatically use bot-updated transclusion counts from subpages of Module:Transclusion_count/data/, when available. It can also take some parameters:

• 1=number of transclusions: (deprecated) The first parameter is either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. This value will be ignored, if transclusion data is available for the current page (generally, for templates with more than 2,000 transclusions).
• 2=discussion page, or use + notation: The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT),
• |info=<Template:Var>: When set to non-blank, will insert <Template:Var> into the template text.
• |demo=<Template:Var>: Will use the transclusion count for the template at [[Template:<Template:Var>]] instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.
• |form=: When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{Editnotice }} instead of {{Ombox }}.
• |expiry=: Sets the |expiry= parameter for {{Editnotice }}.
• |no-percent=yes: suppresses automatic 'percent of all pages' annotation; 'percent of all pages' annotation is automatically added when template is used in more than 1% of all pages (currently {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} is 5,758 pages so 1% is 57 pages)

Examples

The full code for a /doc page top usually looks like this:

{{documentation subpage}}
<!-- Add categories where indicated at the bottom of this page and interwikis at Wikidata -->
{{high-use}}

Standard form

{{high-use}}

{{high-use | |Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates }}

Rounding and + notation

{{high-use |49,500 |demo=A template that does not exist }}

{{high-use |49,500+ |demo=A template that does not exist }}

Editnotice form

{{high-use |form=editnotice }}

High risk

{{high-use |demo=Yesno }}

{{high-use |demo=Yesno |no-percent=yes}}

{{high-use |risk |demo=High-use }}

{{high-use |risk |Wikipedia talk:High-risk templates |info=This is a very large number! |demo=Yesno}}

Technical details

The /sandbox and /testcases links are the standard names for such subpages. If those pages are created, then the green /doc box for the template will detect them and link to them in its heading. For instance, see the top of this documentation.

Ahechtbot compiles usage statistics for all templates with 2,000 or more transclusions, using User:Ahechtbot/transclusioncount.py, and writes them to subpages of Module:Transclusion count/data (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Ahechtbot 6). These pages are usually updated every Sunday, but since running the query is resource intensive, it may be delayed or skipped if Wikipedia server usage is high. Important: If a transclusion count is available in Module:Transclusion count/data, any manually input values will be ignored by this template.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
number of transclusions (DEPRECATED)	1	either a static number of times the template has been transcluded, or the word "risk" (without quotes) to display "a very large number of" instead of the actual value. Suggested values risk	String	deprecated
discussion page, or use + notation	2	The second parameter is overloaded. It will cause the number of transclusions to display as "#,###+" instead of "approximately #,###" when set equal to "yes" (without quotes). When used in this manner, values will be rounded down, instead of rounded to the nearest number with the appropriate number of significant figures. When set to any other non-blank value, it will replace the link to the template's talk page to the value of the parameter (for example, 2=WP:VPT will insert a link to WP:VPT) Default Auto value	String	optional
Extra information	info	When set to non-blank, will insert the value of this parameter into the template text.	Content	optional
template name (intended for demo purposes)	demo	Will use the transclusion count for the template at [[Template:<Template_name>]] instead of detecting what template it is being used on. Capitalization must exactly match the value used in Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Transclusion_count/data/.	String	optional
form for this template	form	When set to "editnotice", will display the message using {{editnotice}} instead of {{ombox}}. Suggested values editnotice	String	optional
Expiry for {{editnotice}}	expiry	if `form=editnotice`, this will set the expiry parameter of the editnotice.	Date	optional
system	system	Please directly use {{Used in system}} instead	Unknown	deprecated

Usage

This template provides an easy way to link a redirect page without following the redirect.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">label</syntaxhighlight>

It accepts two unnamed parameters:

• 1= (required) the name of the page to link.
• 2= (optional) the text to be displayed. If this is omitted then the input of the first parameter is used.

Example

Instead of having to copy/paste or type:

• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Silence_of_the_Sea&redirect=no ''The Silence of the Sea'']
  • to yield The Silence of the Sea

an editor can type:

• ''{{No redirect|The Silence of the Sea}}''

or an alias can be used, as in:

• ''{{-r|The Silence of the Sea}}''

Both of those will take users directly to the same redirect page and display its pagename as a bluelink thus (using the alias): Template:-r.

The second parameter (label) may be useful in discussions on talk pages. For example,

• {{-r|The Silence of the Sea|this redirect}}

may appear on a talk page in this context: "For reference, see Template:-r."

If there is no page with that name given by the first parameter, the template generates a redlink as for any article name:

• {{-r|Bill Clinton (nickname)}} displays as Template:-r

Also, if a page is not a redirect, a normal link is displayed:

• {{-r|Bill Clinton}} displays as Template:-r
