Template:Shelf:Page/Check maxcount/doc

create use count

This template checks the status of an expected shelf category page.

Usage

Place this template on a page that expects the shelf category to exist. Parameters, as of this writing, are

• shelf — required — the name of the shelf, without the Shelf: prefix.
• maxcount — optioal — the current maximum list size requested by the shelf, if any.

Internals

Compares the size of the associated allblooks category to the currently requested maximum list size. If the associated allbooks category is larger, adds the current page to Category:Book:Wikibooks Stacks/Attention needed, generates a text message, and provides a button to request a larger maximum via ordinary editing of a wikipage. A contemplated upgrade would detect availability of dialog and replace the editing button with one for a dialog-based assistant.
