Template:Unknown parameters category
Template documentationUsage
This template is a page header for a category page that is populated by Module:Check for unknown parameters.
To use it, add the following to the category page:
{{Unknown parameters category|TEMPLATE_NAME}}- where
TEMPLATE_NAMEis the name of the template the category is tracking.
The header displays message boxes, a table of contents, and will add the category page to Category:Unknown parameters.
When the first word of TEMPLATE_NAME is Infobox, the template also adds the category page to Category:Infoboxes with unknown parameters.
- Full syntax
{{Unknown parameters category|1= |catsort= |is_infobox= |infobox_sort= }}
- Parameter options

This category contains pages transcluding Template:Infobox writer (talk) with unknown parameters (undefined, misspelled, etc.).
Pages are typically sorted alphabetically by the unknown parameter that is used, e.g. pages using unknown parameter |foo= will be sorted under "F". The name of the page is typically used as a secondary sort key.
Unknown parameters can be detected using Module:Check for unknown parameters in the template. To show the information listed here on a category page, use {{Unknown parameters category}} on the category page.
(This example would also add the category page to Category:Unknown parameters and Category:Infoboxes with unknown parameters).
