Module:Track gauge

This module implements the {{Track gauge}} template. Please see the template page for documentation on how to use the main TrackGauge function.

Gauge data

The gauge information is stored at Module:Track gauge/data; to add new gauges, see the instructions there.

Data checks

This module includes a function that checks the data page for errors. It is used with the following code:

{{#invoke:Track gauge/autodocument|checkData|name of data page}}

The first positional parameter is the name of the data page that you want to be checked. If this is omitted, the module checks Module:Track gauge/data.

Tracking category

• Category:Articles using Template:Track gauge with unrecognized input (0)

Module set

• Module:Track gauge
• Module:Track gauge/data
• Module:Track gauge/autodocument (track gauges list)
