Template:FAQ page
This page-top banner template is for Wikipedia-internal FAQ pages.
Usage
For a stand-alone FAQ page: {{FAQ page}}
For such a page with shortcuts: {{FAQ page|WP:SC1|WP:SC2}}
For a FAQ that is intended to be transcluded into another page: <noinclude>{{FAQ page}}</noinclude>
(this will suppress display of this banner in the transcluding page, but preserve it and its auto-categorization on the FAQ's own page).
This template categorizes pages into one of the following categories, depending on the namespace the template is used in:
- Category:Wikipedia article FAQs (when used in the "Talk" namespaces)
- Category:Wikipedia FAQs (which used in the "Wikipedia", "Wikipedia talk", "Help", "Help talk", and many other functional namespaces and their talk sub-namespaces)
- Category:User essays (when used in the "User" or "User talk" namespaces)
It will not be categorized at all if mistakenly put into a namespace that should not contain such a page, e.g. the main (article) namespace, "Module", "File", "Mediawiki", and some others. It might be best if the template threw a big red error in such a case, but it is not presently coded to do so.
