This template aids building magic word templates for interactive assistants, by parsing the current page name according to certain assistant-page naming conventions.

භාවිතය

Call this template within the magic word, specifying a template to pass the parse information to.

t — required — the template to which to pass the parse information. Omit prefix Template:.

There are three ways to use a specified name instead of the current page name, using unnamed parameters.

Specify the name of a page that is part of an assistant.
Specify the name of a global assistant (without the Assistant: prefix).
Specify the parent page of a local assistant, and the name of the assistant (without the Assistant: prefix).

The following parameters are passed to t; any other named parameters passed to here are passed through to t via Module:TScope#drop.

name — The field of the page name that starts with Assistant:.
space — The namespace of the page name; no colon.
subpage — The part of the page name after name, if any; no leading slash.
full — The entire page name that was parsed.
parent — The part of the page name before name, if not Wikibooks:. No trailing slash.

This template is designed so it can be substituted (via subst:) as well as transcluded (though this won't help if the template named by parameter t doesn't also support substitution).

Examples

page name	parse information
`Wikibooks:Assistant:Breadboard`	name: `Assistant:Breadboard` space: `විකිපොත්` subpage: full: `Wikibooks:Assistant:Breadboard` parent:
`Template:Assistant:Dwim/foo/bar`	name: `Assistant:Dwim` space: `සැකිල්ල` subpage: `foo/bar` full: `Template:Assistant:Dwim/foo/bar` parent:
`Category:Assistant:Dwim/quux/baz`	name: `Assistant:Dwim` space: `ප්‍රවර්ගය` subpage: `quux/baz` full: `Category:Assistant:Dwim/quux/baz` parent:
`User:Pi zero/Assistant:Dwim/fnord`	name: `Assistant:Dwim` space: `පරිශීලක` subpage: `fnord` full: `User:Pi zero/Assistant:Dwim/fnord` parent: `පරිශීලක:Pi zero`
`Breadboard`	name: `Assistant:Breadboard` space: `විකිපොත්` subpage: full: `Wikibooks:Assistant:Breadboard` parent:
`Wikibooks:Reference desk/query Citation`	name: `Assistant:Citation` space: `විකිපොත්` subpage: full: `Wikibooks:Reference desk/query/Assistant:Citation` parent: `විකිපොත්:Reference desk/query`

Internals

Magic word templates that use {{ASST}} cannot call each other, as it would cause {{ASST}} to call itself; however, the client subtemplates t can call each other.

The main template is mostly concerned with figuring out what page name is to be parsed; the page name is then passed to subtemplate {{ASST/parse}}, along with additional information gathered through subtemplate {{ASST/find}}.

With no unnamed parameters, uses the name of the current page. With one unnamed parameter, if it has multiple fields or an Assistant: prefix, it's taken to be the page name, otherwise it's the global assistant name and is used to derive a suitable page name. With two unnamed parameters, the second must be suitable as a local assistant name, and both parameters are used to derive a suitable page name.

The alternative parameter arrangements —where an assistant name is specified instead of a page name— are provided because without them, the magic word templates would not relieve the user of having to continually recreate the assistant-page-naming conventions.
