Unexpected use of template {{29}} - see Template:29 for details.
Template documentation | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Templates {{1}}, {{2}}, {{3}}, etc. warn readers/editors that a typo exists in the page they are reading/editing. If {{29}} is called, you probably meant the parameter 29 (as {{{29}}} with triple braces), but in fact only double braces were used, invoking {{29}}. In addition to a warning, it also adds pages to Category:Templates with incorrect parameter syntax. For more information on how template parameters work, see mw:Help:Templates#Parameters.
However, the most problems have been caused by omitting the first brace "{" of a parameter and getting {{29}}}, as invoking Template:29 +"}" rather than parameter 29. This can be an insidious problem, especially when the transclusion of Template:29 is hidden, so that the effect is invisible to the person editing a page. For that reason, Template:29 now issues a warning to the user.
With that warning, the prior invisible access to Template:29 can now be understood to be a formerly unseen problem coded within a page.
- Note: this will also pick up several variations such as {{29|}} for {{{29|}}} and {{{29}}.
Periodically, people check what-links-here to see if anyone has accidentally invoked Template:29.
