This is the {{main other}} meta-template.

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

Basic usage

This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

{{main other |result if in mainspace |result if elsewhere}}

If the template is on a main space (article) page, it will return this:

result if in mainspace

If the template is on any other page, it will return this:

result if elsewhere

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:

{{main other |[[:Category:Some article maintenance category]]}}

Note that guidelines do not support categorization in templates.

Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:

{{main other | |This template should only be used in articles.}}

Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "main" parameter was left empty.

Technical details

This template detects article "Talk:" pages as type other.

This template works like {{main talk other}}. For more examples and technical details, see the documentation there.
