Template:Recto-verso header3
Usage edit
Template recto-verso header3 is based on {{recto-verso header}} intended to make it easier to deal with the differences between recto and verso page headers in simple cases. It also attempts to make the recto and verso (Q255731) changes semi-automatic by calling {{rh}} with different parameters depending on whether the provided page number is odd or even.
The intended use is to insert this template in the Header field of the work's index page with the page number argument replaced with {{{pagenum}}}. When creating a page in the Page: namespace, the ProofreadPage extension will replace that argument with the actual page number, leading to a template invocation that will do the right thing. You can, of course, also use it directly on a page in the Page: namespace, but that will usually not be any easier than just using {{rh}} directly.
Difference between Recto-verso header and Recto-verso header3 edit
{{Recto-verso header}} is intended to make things as simple as possible for the most common cases and as a result it has many limitations, some of which are dealt with in {{Recto-verso header2}}. Template Recto-verso header3 deals with the cases when no page number is displayed in the header, only some other book’s information like title, date etc., which are left or right aligned, depending on the page being recto or verso.

Tricks edit
- There's nothing preventing you from swapping the text for the recto and verso arguments. This template does not know anything about what you put in there: it's all just text, and it'll dutifully spit it out on alternating pages regardless of content. Does your work have the work's title on recto pages and the chapter title on verso pages? Just swap the arguments.
