For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take two parameters named '''demospace''' and '''page'''. | |||
Demospace understands any of the page type names used by this template, including the '''other''' type. It tells the template to behave like it is on some specific type of page. Like this: | |||

It can be convenient to let your template understand the demospace parameter and send it on to the {{tl|namespace detect}} template. Then do like this: | The '''page''' parameter instead takes a normal pagename. It makes this template behave exactly as if on that page. The pagename doesn't have to be an existing page.

Namespace "Image" was renamed to "File" on 11 December 2008. This template was updated to understand both names well before that, thus it still works fine. For backwards compatibility it still understands "image" both as a parameter name, such as "image = File page text", and as a value "demospace = image". | |||
Namespace " | Namespace "Book" was added to the English Wikipedia on 28 December 2009. This template has been updated so it detects the "Book:" namespace as type '''book''', and it already automatically detected "Book talk:" as type '''talk'''. | ||
