Template talk:User participant

Ned's code

Hi Ned. In July you made an edit to this template changing this code:

[[Category:Participants in WikiProject {{{1}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]

To this code:

{{{category|[[Category:Participants in WikiProject {{{1}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}}

I can't figure out what the change does. Could you explain? --David Göthberg 20:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it was an old way to help make pages that just listed templates wouldn't get categorized with user pages. There's a better method that someone has showed me since then, so I'll update it to use that. -- Ned Scott 21:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Allowing transcluder to force inclusion of page in category

Previously the <includeonly> part of this template added pages that transcluded the template to the member or participant category only if the transcluding page was the base page of a user. This prevented users from being added to the category if their userboxes were on a sub-page of their user page. Ideally, I would want to automatically detect if the parent page was already in the category, and if not, include it. But I couldn't find a way to make that determination automatically. So I've added the "forcepage" parameter, which would allow a user who puts userboxes on a sub-page to force inclusion, i.e. with {{participant|Cryptography|forcepage=yes}}. I hope this change didn't break anything! (sdsds - talk) 03:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
