Template:SIA/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:SIA (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{SIA}} or set index article template.
It can be used without any parameters to mark a page as a generic set index article. Like this:
{{SIA}}
Which renders like this:
This set index article page lists articles on the same topic that share the same (or similar) name. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article, if one exists. |
It then categorises the page into Category:Set indices.
This template can also be fed a name of a type of set index article. For instance like this:
{{SIA|comics}}
Which renders like this:
This set index article page lists articles on comics that share the same (or similar) name. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article, if one exists. |
Note that it used the word "comics" in the text above. And it will then categorise the page into Category:Set indices on comics.
Technical details
This template also adds the hidden category Category:All disambiguation pages both when used with or without the name described above.
This template only categorises a page if the page is in the main (article) space. Thus it will not categorise for instance a talk page or this template page where it might be shown or discussed.
