Template talk:Economics

From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

I'm trying to make it so that if the template is placed on the page of someone in the economists category, it doesn't automatically include the economics category, but I don't know how to check if a given page is in a category. I considered combing #ifeq and #pos to check if the wikitext included "category:economists" but I don't know a magic word for a page's wikitext either. Any ideas?

It's not possible. I'm not personally a fan of autoincluding categories, that's one of the reasons. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 21:44, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I think I might just get rid of the category-inclusion then. Everything with the template is probably already in the cat anyway, so I guess it's unnecessary. ThunderkatzHo! 21:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Wait, tell me it's possible to not automatically include a category... Because just taking it out messes stuff up. Not sure I want to be the one to do this, but do we need to edit navsidebar so that a blank category results in no category? ThunderkatzHo! 21:57, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure. The navsidebar template was created by Armondikov, you probably want to ask em. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 22:51, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
