Template:File other/Documentation

This is the file other meta-template.

This template helps other templates detect if they are on a "File:" page or some "other" type of page.

Usage
This template usually takes two parameters, like this:

If the template is on a file (image) page, it will return this:



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



A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on file pages. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template. Like this:

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

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