Template:Annual readership/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template reports the daily page views for an article over a period of time (default: the last year), placing them in a suitable frame with a heading. It is typically placed on an article's talk page below other talk page banners.

Usage

Basic syntax (annual data):

{{Annual readership}}

Template syntax with optional parameters:

{{Annual readership|expanded=|days=|target=|title=|color=|scale=|width=|height=}}

Optional parameters

• |expanded= can be used to override the default auto-collapsing of the message box. To prevent the graph from being collapsed on page load, use |expanded=true.
• |days= (default: 365) can be used to change the number of pageview days depicted in the graph.
• |target= (default: {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}) can be used to simultaneously specify the page in the graph title (if |title= is not specified) and the page for which page traffic is displayed.
• |title= (default: see notes) can be used to specify the page in the graph title.
• |color= (default: #00f) can be used to change the graph color; accepted inputs include HTML color names (e.g., red) and hex codes.
• |scale= (default: linear) can be used to change the scale of the y axis; accepted inputs: linear, log, pow, sqrt, quantile, quantize, and threshold.
• |width= (default: 570) may be used to change the width in pixels of the image.

  Note: Default of 570px is used to match standard Talk page boxed items; values outside the range of 400–980 may be problematic.

• |height= (default: 200) may be used to change the height.

Notes about the graph title

If both |title= and |target= are not specified, the graph title varies depending on the namespace of the page where this template is used.

• Title if placed on an article talk page:

  Daily pageviews of this article

• Title if placed on a page in any other talk namespace (e.g., "User talk:", "Template talk:", "Wikipedia talk:", etc.):

  Daily pageviews of {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}

• Title if placed on any subject page (i.e., pages in namespaces like "User:", "Template:", "Wikipedia:", etc.):

  Daily pageviews of this page

If |title= is not specified, but |target= is specified, the graph title is set as "Daily pageviews of target page", with the target page linked.

• For example, inputting |target=XYZ would set the graph title as:

  Daily pageviews of XYZ

If |title= is specified, regardless of the specification of |target=, the graph title is set as "Daily pageviews of text", with the text unlinked.

• For example, inputting |title=XYZ would set the graph title as:

  Daily pageviews of XYZ

• For example, inputting |title=[[XYZ]] would set the graph title as:

  Daily pageviews of XYZ
