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 clobbered parameters|check |nested=1 |template=Some template name |cat={{main other|Category:Some tracking category}} |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 clobbered parameters|check | template = Infobox example | cat = {{main other|Category:Pages using infobox example with conflicting parameters}} | founders; founder | headquarters; hq; location }}
Example 2
[edit ]{{Infobox | above = {{{name|}}} | label1 = Founder(s) | data1 = {{{founders|{{{founder|}}}}}} | label2 = Headquarters | data2 = {{{headquarters|{{{hq|{{{location|}}}}}}}}} }}<!-- end infobox, start tracking -->{{#invoke:Check for clobbered parameters|check | nested = 1 | template = Infobox example | cat = {{main other|Category:Pages using infobox example with conflicting parameters}} | founders; founder | headquarters; hq; location }}
