This template is used to detect the page type of a given page. It detects redirect pages automatically and is highly customisable. It can be used on its own or as a meta-template to create other page-type-detection templates.

## Syntax

Basic code

```
{{pagetype}}

```

Full code

```
{{pagetype
}}

```

## Basic usage

For simple detection of the page type of the current page, use the default settings:

```
{{pagetype}}

```

That will produce the following results, depending on the page type or the namespace:

If the template is used on a talk page, it will detect the page type for the corresponding subject page.

Example

### Page parameter

You can use the `page` parameter to make the template act as though it was called from that page.

```
{{pagetype|page=*page name*}}

```

Examples

## Adding and removing namespaces

It is possible to specify different behaviour for each namespace than that described in the basic usage section. For example, you might want the template to display "user page" for pages in the user namespace, instead of the default "page". To do this, you can use the code `|user=yes`. This looks up the typical name used for pages in the user namespace, in this case "user page", and uses that text when the template is used with a page in the user namespace. To use this with other namespaces, use the namespace name in lower case as a parameter:

```
{{pagetype
}}

```

You can use any of the following to specify the namespace: "`yes`", "`y`", "`true`" or "`1`". They can be used in any combination of upper and lower case. (These values are defined by Module:Yesno.)

The default text for these namespaces is as follows:

You can use a similar process to remove any of the default namespace values as well. For example, if you use the code `|template=no`, then the template will display "page" when used on a template page, rather than the default "template".

```
{{pagetype
}}

```

The following values will all work to remove namespace values: "`no`", "`n`", "`false`" or "`0`". They can be used in any combination of upper and lower case.

Examples

## Default namespace sets

As well as adding and removing individual namespaces, it is possible to specify different sets of namespaces by using the `|defaultns=`. There are four different sets available: `all`, `extended`, `none` and the default set. These sets allow you to specify many namespaces at once, without having to use all of the individual namespace parameters. Namespaces are set according to the following table:

Examples

## Custom namespace values

It is possible to specify a custom value for any namespace:

```
{{pagetype
}}

```

Examples

## Talk parameter

Normally, the template will treat talk pages as if they were in the corresponding subject namespace. However, if the `talk` parameter is set, the template will treat talk pages separately from subject pages. The `talk` parameter sets values for all talk pages, i.e. pages in the Talk: namespace, pages in the User talk: namespace, pages in the Wikipedia talk: namespace, and so on.

```
{{pagetype|talk=*yes*}}

```

```
{{pagetype|talk=*custom text*}}

```

The default value for "`talk=*yes*`" is "talk page".

Examples

## Main namespace classes

For pages in the main namespace, it is possible to add a class value in the first positional parameter:

```
{{pagetype|*class*}}

```

If the class value matches one of the values in the table below, it will produce an alternative to the default output of `article`.

You can input the class value in any combination of upper and lower case.

### Custom main namespace classes

It is also possible to specify a custom value for the main namespace classes:

```
{{pagetype|*class*|dab=*yes*|na=*yes*}}

```

```
{{pagetype|*class*|dab=*custom text*|na=*custom text*}}

```

This works the same way that it does for the custom namespace page types. Possible parameters are:

* **dab**: a custom value for disambiguation-class pages. If set to "`yes`", "`y`", "`true`" or "`1`", this produces "disambiguation page". If set to "`no`", "`n`", "`false`" or "`0`", no custom value is produced. If set to any other value it produces that text.
* **na**: a custom value for NA-class pages. It works in the same way as the `dab` parameter. The default value for "`yes`" etc. is "page".

Examples

## Redirects

By default, the template automatically detects redirects in all namespace. It is not possible to specify redirect behaviour by namespace, but you can turn redirect detection off, or use a custom value for redirect pages.

```
{{pagetype|redirect=*no*}}

```

```
{{pagetype|redirect=*custom text*}}

```

Examples

## Other namespaces

By default, the template produces "`page`" if used from a namespace that hasn't been specified. This value can be changed with the `|other=` parameter:

```
{{pagetype|other=*custom text*}}

```

Examples

## TemplateData

Template:Collapse top
Template:TemplateData header

This template Identifies the type of a given page. It is highly customisable. By default it detects redirects, articles, files, templates, categories, books, and modules, and other types of page are displayed as "page".

This is a **list of WWE pay-per-view events**, detailing all professional wrestling cards promoted on pay-per-view (PPV) by WWE.

WWE has broadcast pay-per-views since the 1980s, when its classic "Big Four" events (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series) were first established. The company's PPV lineup expanded to a monthly basis in the mid-1990s and reached its peak of sixteen shows a year in 2006 before returning to twelve in 2012. Following the second brand extension in July 2016, the number of shows per year were expanded once again to 16. Pay-per-view shows are typically three hours in length, though budget priced events (e.g., In Your House) were shorter, while premium events such as WrestleMania can approach five hours. Since 2008, all WWE pay-per-views have been broadcast in high definition. Pay-per-view events are a significant part of the revenue stream for WWE.

WWE pay-per-views are made available in the United States by In Demand. In Canada, WWE pay-per-views are available through (depending on service provider) Vu!, Shaw PPV, or SaskTel PPV, and can be seen in movie theatres in HD through selected locations of the Cineplex Entertainment chain. In Australia, WWE's pay-per-views are shown on Main Event. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, some pay-per-views are shown on Sky Sports 1 & 3 and others on Sky Sports Box Office. In India and South Asia, a single broadcaster (currently Sony TEN) generally holds the rights to all WWE programming, including pay-per-views, and they are broadcast for no additional charge. Aside from its standard monthly schedule, WWE produced additional international pay-per-views between 1997 and 2003. These events were not available in the United States and coincided with overseas tours in the United Kingdom.

Following WWE's original brand extension in 2002, the company promoted two touring rosters representing its Raw and SmackDown television programs. Aside from Insurrextion (Raw) and Rebellion (SmackDown!), all WWE pay-per-views featured both brands until June 2003. The traditional "Big Four" continued to showcase the entire roster, while the remaining pay-per-views alternated between Raw and SmackDown cards. A special ECW event in 2005 led to the creation of an ECW brand in 2006, which also received its own dedicated pay-per-view. Additional brand-exclusive events were added to the schedule, which reached its peak in 2006 with sixteen pay-per-view events (five Raw, five SmackDown, two ECW, and the original "Big Four"). In March 2007, WWE announced that all subsequent pay-per-views would feature performers from all brands. Dates were slowly removed from the pay-per-view schedule and in 2012, WWE returned to holding twelve pay-per-views a year. However, since the second brand extension in July 2016, brand-exclusive pay-per-views returned with only the "Big Four" as the only pay-per-views to feature both Raw and SmackDown brands, and some months have two pay-per-views, one for each show. Just like the previous brand extension, brand exclusive pay-per-views ended after WrestleMania 34.

In 2009, WWE began to rename several of its "B"-show pay-per-views, identifying them with types of matches such as the Money in the Bank ladder match and the Hell in a Cell cage match. Since 2012, WWE has offered a free kickoff/pre-show before each pay-per-view, available on WWE.com and from social media partners such as YouTube and Facebook. The WWE Network, launched on February 24, 2014, features an extensive back catalog of WWE pay-per-view events, as well as all future pay-per-views streamed live from WrestleMania XXX onwards. The WWE Network also included non-PPV events, The Big Event and 1988 Royal Rumble, in their pay-per-view section.

In recent years, WWE pay-per-views are mainly held in top-drawing arenas, such as the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the TD Garden in Boston, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

## Most pay-per-view matches

These ten wrestlers have the most PPV matches (as of Royal Rumble 2019).

* Only the actual pay-per-view matches are counted. No pre-show or dark matches.

## Themed pay-per-views

Many WWE pay-per-views are thematic, centered on particular types of matches, or have an annually-recurring main-event. Most themed pay-per-view-events (sans the "Big Four") are roughly treated like filler themed events to carry the audience until the next event dating back to the days when the In Your House system was used.
