This is the {{Namespace detect showall}} meta-template.
It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on. It is an extended version of {{Namespace detect}}.
This template detects and groups all the different namespaces used on Wikipedia into several types:
- main = Main/article space, as in normal Wikipedia articles.
- talk = Any talk space, such as page names that start with "Talk:", "User talk:", "File talk:" and so on.
- user, wikipedia, file, mediawiki, template, help, category, portal = The other namespaces except the talk pages.
- other = Any namespaces that were not specified as a parameter to the template. See explanation below.
- Note
- In many cases, one of the simpler namespace-detection templates is likely to suffice (and will be less prone to errors made in its use). For links to these alternatives, see the navigation template at the end of this documentation ({{Namespace and pagename-detecting templates}}).
