This is a documentation subpage for Template:BOOKNAME
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

update use count

This template returns the name of the book associated with the page on which it's used, assuming certain naming conventions. Compare {{SUBJECTNAME}}.

Usage

Simply place {{BOOKNAME}} on a page to get the output. When used on category, template, user, or talk pages, returns the associated book name deduced from naming conventions. Otherwise returns the {{NAIVEBOOKNAME}}.

Optionally specify a page as a parameter to see the output for a different page than the current one.

{{BOOKNAME|<full pagename>}}

This template can also be substituted (via subst:) rather than transcluded.

{{BOOKTEMPLATE}} — deduces full root name for templates of book associated with the current page.
{{BOOKCATEGORY}} — deduces full root name for categories of book associated with the current page.
{{BOOKTALKNAME}} — deduces main talk page name of book associated with the current page.
{{CHAPTERNAME}} — deduces first field of page name after the book name.
{{NAIVEBOOKNAME}} — page name without subpages and retaining the namespace.

{{SUBJECTNAME}} — deduces full root name of subject associated with the current page.
