Template:Property cat/doc

Property cataloging (experimental)

Contains 3 different jobs related to the namespace of the calling-source page.

Job 1) Called from a non Property or Category page.

Used to setup Property pages with particular Category pages. (done in the page Property)

Target categories are limited and locked to the "Category:Properties/..." branch.

Parent category is auto-picked based on the target category name.

E.g. "(Category:Properties/)foo/bar" will use "(Category:Properties/)foo" as its parent category.

Data is saved as sub-objects in the properties "prop_name" and "prop_cat".

Template expects all related pages, including parent cat-page, to exist to be saved.

For Categories this means they need to be registered in the Category exists property. (see job 3)

(Not sure yet if something similar might also be needed for Properties pages)

Usage:

{{property_cat|1=Bare property Name|2=Bare category name|3=Optional Cat-sort key}}

The "1=" and "2=" parts are currently needed due to a unresolved code issue.

The Property name should be without the leading "Property:" namespace part.

The Category name should be without the leading "Category:Properties/" part.

All names should be fully in lowercase. (easier that way)

If no Category is given it will default to using "unclassified".

For linking multiple Categories to a given Property use multiple calls for the same Property.

Job 2) Called from a Property-page. (No additional parameters)

Adds target categories to the current Property page.

{{property_cat}}

Job 3) Called from a Category-page. (No additional parameters)

Registers the current Category in the Category exists property.

And links the current category up with its parent-category. (if applicable)

{{property_cat}}
