Usage[edit]
This template sets the __INDEX__
behavior switch, a magic word which instructs search engines to index the page. The only difference between the template and the magic word is that the template may optionally display a message.
On BattleTechWiki, __INDEX__
and {{INDEX}}
should only be used on User and User talk pages, where they override the default, which is not to index these pages.
Optional parameters[edit]
|visible = yes
: makes the template display a line of plain text to inform editors that the page is included in search engine indexing, e.g.{{INDEX|visible = yes}}
shows the message:
- This page has been added to search engine indexes.
- This page has been added to search engine indexes.
- Note: regardless of this parameter, if the template is used in an unsupported namespace, the following will be displayed instead:
- Please use {{INDEX}} only within the User and User talk: namespaces, as those are the only two in which it has an effect.
|demo = yes
: makes {{INDEX}} work even if it is placed in the wrong namespace so that examples of the template can function, e.g. on this doc page –{{INDEX|visible = yes|demo = yes}}
renders as:
- This page has been added to search engine indexes.
Usage tracking[edit]
This template was originally used as a tracking mechanism for __INDEX__
usage; valid uses are now tracked by Category:Indexed pages.
