This template helps other templates detect if they are on a main space (article) page or some "other" type of page.

This template usually takes two parameters, like this:
This template usually takes two parameters, like this:
 
: {{Tlc|main other&#32;|{{var|result if in mainspace}}&#32;|{{var|result if elsewhere}}}}
<pre>
{{main other | Article text | Other pages text }}
</pre>


If the template is on a main space (article) page, it will return this:
If the template is on a main space (article) page, it will return this:
 
: {{main other |demospace=main |{{var|result if in mainspace}} |{{var|result if elsewhere}} }}
:{{main other | demospace=main | Article text | Other pages text }}


If the template is on any other page, it will return this:
If the template is on any other page, it will return this:
: {{main other |{{var|result if in mainspace}} |{{var|result if elsewhere}} }}


:{{main other | Article text | Other pages text }}
A typical usage case would be to warn that a template should not be used on non-article pages:
 
: {{Tlc|main other&#32;|&#32;|This template should only be used in articles.}}
A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on an article. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template. Like this:
or vice versa:
 
: {{Tlc|main other&#32;|This template should not be used in articles.|&#32;}}
<pre>
{{main other | [[Category:Some article maintenance category]] }}
</pre>
 
Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:
 
<pre>
{{main other | | This template should only be used in articles. }}
</pre>
 
Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "main" parameter was left empty.
 
=== Demospace ===


For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take a parameter named '''demospace'''.

Like this:
Like this:
: {{tlc|main other&#32;|{{var|result if in mainspace}}&#32;|{{var|result if elsewhere}}&#32;|demospace{{=}}main}}


<pre>
No matter on what kind of page the code above is used, it will return: {{main other |{{var|result if in mainspace}} |{{var|result if elsewhere}} |demospace=main}}
{{main other  
| Article text
| Other pages text
| demospace = main
}}
</pre>


No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this:
You can make it so your template also understands the '''demospace''' parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template:
: {{tlc|main other&#32;|{{var|result if in mainspace}}&#32;|{{var|result if elsewhere}}&#32;|<nowiki>demospace={{{demospace|}}}</nowiki>&#32;}}


:{{main other  
===Technical details===
| Article text
This template detects article "Talk:" pages as type '''other'''.
| Other pages text
| demospace = main
}}


You can make it so your template also understands the '''demospace''' parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template. Then do like this:
This template works like {{tl|main talk other}}. For more examples and technical details, see the documentation there.
 
<pre>
{{main other  
| Article text
| Other pages text
| demospace = {{{demospace|}}}
}}
</pre>
