			<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

			This is the {{tl\|main other}} meta-template.

			This template helps other templates detect if they are on a main space (article) page or some "other" type of page.

			===Basic usage===
			This template usually takes two parameters, like this:
			: {{Tlc\|main other \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere''}}

			If the template is on a main space (article) page, it will return this:
			: {{main other \|demospace=main \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere''}}

			If the template is on any other page, it will return this:
			: {{main other \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere''}}

			A typical usage case could be to make it so that a template only adds a category when on an article. Thus not adding other pages that just show the template. Like this:
			: {{Tlc\|main other \|<nowiki>[[:Category:Some article maintenance category]]</nowiki>}}
			Note that guidelines do not support categorization in templates.

			Or to warn that a template should not be used on other pages:
			: {{Tlc\|main other \| \|This template should only be used in articles.}}

			Note that in the first case above the "other" parameter was not used, and in the second example the "main" parameter was left empty.

			===Demospace===
			For testing and demonstration purposes, this template can take a parameter named '''demospace'''.
			* If it has the value '''main''' it returns the article text.
			* It if has the value '''other''' or any other value such as the name of some other namespace it returns the other pages text.
			* If the parameter is empty or undefined, the actual page type determines the result.

			Like this:
			: {{tlf\|main other \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere'' \|demospace{{=}}main}}

			No matter on what kind of page the code above is used, it will return: {{main other \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere'' \|demospace=main}}

			You can make it so your template also understands the '''demospace''' parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template:
			: {{tlf\|main other \|''result if in mainspace'' \|''result if elsewhere'' \|<nowiki>demospace={{{demospace\|}}}</nowiki> }}

			===Technical details===
			This template detects article "Talk:" pages as type '''other'''.

			This template works like {{tl\|main talk other}}. For more examples and technical details, see the documentation there.
