 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module is currently protected from editing. See the protection policy and protection log for more details. Please discuss any changes on the talk page; you may submit an edit request to ask an administrator to make an edit if it is uncontroversial or supported by consensus. You may also request that this page be unprotected. |
 | This Lua module is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module may be appended to a template to check for uses of tuples of conflicting parameters.
Usage
[edit]Basic usage
[edit]{{#invoke:Check for conflicting parameters|check
|nested=1
|template=Some template name
|cat={{main other|Category:Pages using TEMPLATENAME with conflicting parameters}}
|arg1a; arg1b|arg2a; arg2b; arg2c|...|argNa; argNb}}
Here, (arg1a, arg1b), (arg2a, arg2b, arg2c), are tuples of the conflicting parameters.
By default, the module ignores blank parameters which is useful for {{if empty}} chains of parameters. For nested chains of parameters, use |nested=1 to consider blank parameters as well.
By default, the delimiter for the tuples is ; but this can be changed with |delimiter=.
The value of |template= is used to for the text of the preview warning message. When omitted, the module will use a generic message.
Example 1
[edit]{{Infobox
| above = {{{name|}}}
| label1 = Founder{{#if:{{{founders|}}}|s}}
| data1 = {{if empty| {{{founders|}}} | {{{founder|}}} }}
| label2 = Headquarters
| data2 = {{if empty| {{{headquarters|}}} | {{{hq|}}} | {{{location|}}} }}
}}<!--
end infobox, start tracking
-->{{#invoke:Check for conflicting parameters|check
| template = Infobox example
| cat = {{main other|Category:Pages using infobox example with conflicting parameters}}
| founders; founder
| headquarters; hq; location
}}
