Editing Template:Pagetype/doc (section)

== Adding and removing namespaces ==
It is possible to specify different behaviour for each namespace than that described in the [[#Basic usage|basic usage]] section. For example, you might want the template to display "user page" for pages in the user namespace, instead of the default "page". To do this, you can use the code {{para|user|yes}}. This looks up the typical name used for pages in the user namespace, in this case "user page", and uses that text when the template is used with a page in the user namespace. To use this with other namespaces, use the namespace name in lower case as a parameter:

 &#123;{pagetype
 | user              = ''yes''
 | wikipedia         = ''yes''
 | project           = ''yes''
 | wp                = ''yes''
 | mediawiki         = ''yes''
 | help              = ''yes''
 | portal            = ''yes''
 | timedtext         = ''yes''
 | special           = ''yes''
 | media             = ''yes''
 }}

You can use any of the following to specify the namespace: "<code>yes</code>", "<code>y</code>", "<code>true</code>" or "<code>1</code>". They can be used in any combination of upper and lower case. (These values are defined by [[Module:Yesno]].)

The default text for these namespaces is as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
! Page type / namespace !! Output
|-
| User namespace || <code>user page</code>
|-
| Wikipedia namespace || <code>project page</code>
|-
| MediaWiki namespace || <code>interface page</code>
|-
| Help namespace || <code>help page</code>
|-
| Portal namespace || <code>portal</code>
|-
| Timed Text namespace || <code>Timed Text page</code>
|-
| Special namespace || <code>special page</code>
|-
| Media namespace || <code>file</code>
|}

You can use a similar process to remove any of the default namespace values as well. For example, if you use the code {{para|template|no}}, then the template will display "page" when used on a template page, rather than the default "template".

 &#123;{pagetype
 | main     = ''no''
 | file     = ''no''
 | template = ''no''
 | category = ''no''
 | module   = ''no''
 }}

The following values will all work to remove namespace values: "<code>no</code>", "<code>n</code>", "<code>false</code>" or "<code>0</code>". They can be used in any combination of upper and lower case.

! Code !! Result

|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=United Kingdom}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=United Kingdom}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=United Kingdom|main=no}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=United Kingdom|main=no}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt|timedtext=Yes}}</nowiki></code> || {{pagetype|page=TimedText:MS_Sam.ogg.en.srt|timedtext=Yes}}
