Padron:Image other/doc

This is the {{image other}} meta-template.

It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on.

Basic usage

This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

{{image other | Image page text | Other pages text }}

If the template is on an image page, it will return this:

Image page text

If the template is on any other page, it will return this:

Other pages text

A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on image pages. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template to the category. Like this:

{{image other | [[Category:Some image maintenance category]] }}

Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:

{{image other | | This template should only be used on image pages. }}

Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "image" parameter was left empty.

Advanced usage

This template works like {{main talk other}}, see full documentation there. Note that it detects "Image talk:" pages as type other. The test parameter demospace for this template understands the values image and other.
