Pre-loading Wikidata values edit

The listing below proposes to import Wikidata values (called "claims" at Wikidata) and convert them to static local data, with the subst: technique.

Pre-loading Wikidata values in this fashion would often be unsuccessful due to failing Wikidata claims for the item: it is up to the editor importing the claims to check whether the claim is correct and appropriate for the infobox.

The preload-list can be used for a first implementation of this template in an article. Separate parameter substitutions can be used to complement incomplete parameter sets in a previously implemented infobox.

{{Infobox Scheduled Language of India
| child         = 
| SLI           = {{subst:Wikidata|qualifier|P1435|P1448}}<!-- leave empty, unless for stand-alone infoboxes that need a title different from the article title -->

Notes edit

  • If the scheduled language has multiple locations across a country or continent, use the embedded template {{Location map many}} as in example 4.
  • If the template is not used as an embedded template, always use the "SLI" parameter. If the template is embedded, and the official name at the Eighth Schedule doesn't match the name of the template it is used in, use "Official_name". See Meitei language for an example of the second use.
  • "Type" is kept as a parameter for backwards compatibility only, and should preferably not be used.

Coordinates edit

For coordinates, use {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.

Examples edit

Example 1
Infobox Scheduled Language of India/doc
Languages recognised by the Constitution of India
LocationManipur, Assam & Tripura
Referenceamendments/constitution-india-seventy-first-amendment-act-1992

This example has no image:

{{Infobox Scheduled Language of India
| SLI         = Meitei
| Location    = [[Manipur]], [[Assam]] & [[Tripura]]
| ID          = amendments/constitution-india-seventy-first-amendment-act-1992
| Year        = 1992
}}
Example 2
Nepali
Languages recognised by the Constitution of India
LocationSikkim

This example uses an image of width 270px, and the alt and caption parameters:

{{Infobox Scheduled Language of India
| WHS         = Nepali
| image       = 
| image_size  = 270px
| alt         = 
| caption     = 
| Location    = [[Sikkim]]
| ID          = 
| Year        = 1992
}}

Microformat edit

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates edit

If the place or venue has "established", "founded", "opened" or similar dates, use {{start date}} for the earliest of those dates unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes edit

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • category
  • county-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • region
  • street-address
  • uid
  • url
  • vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • geo
  • latitude
  • longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision edit

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
