{{Documentation|content=
{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Infobox/styles.css|Template:Skin/styles.css|Template:Extension/status.css}}

== Purpose ==

This template should be added to the main page of all tools documented on this wiki (and only the main page). It will add a useful infobox using the information supplied (see below) and will automatically add the tool to {{ll|Category:All tools|All tools}}, plus the appropriate {{ll|Category:Tools by status|status}} and {{ll|Category:Tools by implementation type|implementation type}} categories.

== Usage ==

== Content parameters ==
This section describes parameters that govern infobox content. For help with '''templatemode''' and other control parameters, please see ''[[#Control parameters|Control parameters]]''.

! Description
{{!}}-
{{!}}<span id="name">'''name'''</span> {{!!}} '''name of the tool'''
{{!}}-
{{!}}<span id="status">'''status'''</span> {{!!}} '''current release status'''
One of:
* ''{{ll|Category:Unstable tools|unstable}}'' (broken - do not use this tool)
* ''{{ll|Category:Experimental tools|experimental}}'' (early stages of development, may change drastically)
* ''{{ll|Category:Beta status tools|beta}}'' (stable but not fully tested)
* ''{{ll|Category:Stable tools|stable}}'' (stable version)
* ''{{ll|Category:Unmaintained tools|unmaintained}}'' (unmaintained - previously claimed to be stable, now unmaintained)
* ''{{ll|Category:Tools with unknown status|unknown}}'' (default)
If the status is anything other than the above, it will be ignored and the default value of 'Unknown' will be displayed in the template instead. In cases where the value is omitted, it will be categorized as {{ll|Category:Tools with unknown status|unknown}}. In cases where the value is invalid, it will be placed in a {{ll|category:Tools with invalid status|special category}} so that the error can be caught and fixed.

{{!}} '''type1'''<br/>''type2''<br/>''type3''<br/>''type4''<br/>''type5''<br/>''type6''<br/> {{!!}} <span id="type">'''implementation type'''</span>

The implementation strategy(s) employed in building this tools. This parameter is used to create categories that help programmers find examples of various MediaWiki specific implementation strategies or patterns. Although the values of this parameter sometimes coincide with the use case or purpose of an tools, that is not reason for this parameter. If the values you have chosen for this parameter do not adequately identify the [[w:Requirements|purpose]] or possible [[w:Use case|use case]]s, we recommend you add additional [[Help:Categories|category links]] as needed.

Legal values for the '''type1''','''type2''',... parameters are:

{{ll|Category:Bots|'''''bot'''''}} - [[Bot]]
{{ll|Category:Database tools|'''''database''''' or '''''db'''''}} - [[Manual:Database layout|Database]]
{{ll|Category:Web Application|'''''web'''''}} - [[Web]]
{{ll|Category:WordPress extensions|'''''wordpress'''''}} - [[w:WordPress|WordPress Plugins]]

Any other value for 'type' is invalid, and will cause the tool to be placed in [[:Category:Tools with invalid or missing type]].

Note: Many tools have more than one type, if this applies to yours,replace <code><nowiki>|type=</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>|type1=|type2=|type3=...</nowiki></code>. You may define up to six types for a tool.

{{!}} <span id="username">'''username'''</span> {{!!}} The author's username on MediaWiki.org (if they have one). May be omitted, but if present it will be used to link to the author's user & user_talk page.

== Control parameters ==
{{(}}{{!}} class="wikitable"
{{!}}+ '''Control parameters'''
{{!}}-
! Parameter
! Description
{{!}}-
{{!}} '''templatemode''' {{!!}} '''Controls auto-categorization of host page.'''

Normally left blank. Alternate values are:
''nocats'' - suppresses categorization. Use this value if you are adding this template to [[Help:Subpage|subpages]] of an tool or to how-to documentation of tools. For example, the usage image above sets <code>templatemode=nocats</code> because this isn't an actual tool page and we don't want to add this page to any categories on account of it.

If this is left blank, this template will add the host page to {{ll|Category:All tools|All tools}} and to one or more additional categories, depending on the values assigned to the [[#Content parameters|Content parameters]].
{{!}}{{)}}

== Using the infobox ==
=== Existing tools pages ===
If you want to add the infobox to an existing page, copy and paste the code at the [[#CutAndPaste|top of this page]].

=== Infobox parameters ===
In general:
* To make this template easy to use, each label in the infobox is linked to documentation on the template parameter(s) it displays. If you add a parameter, please be sure to also add it to the [[#Content parameters|content parameter documentation]] and link its label to its documentation.

To change/correct/add to the implementation type parameters (<code>type1</code>, etc.):
* Discuss the change on the [[Template_talk:Tool|talk page]]
* '''[[Template:Tool/TypeSwitch]]:''' Stores the possible values for the type field. Multiple values are implemented by calling this template with [[Template:Foreach]].
* '''[[Template:Tool/TypeSwitchNoCats]]:''' Used instead of [[Template:Tool/TypeSwitch]] when this template is used in <code>templatemode=nocats</code>. Templates used with [[Template:Foreach]] can only take one parameter so we need to wrap the call to [[Template:Tool/TypeSwitch]] with another template that sets the mode.

== Test case ==
See if the following pages are still ok, after edited this template.
