| This is a documentation subpage for Template:EstcatCountry. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Usage
{{EstcatCountry| YYY | Y | country [ | sort key [ | new name ]] }}
- Examples
{{EstcatCountry|199|3|the United States|United States}}
{{EstcatCountry|200|7|Belgium}}
Change of country name
The optional 5th parameter sort key can also be used to override the country name in the parent category, "Establishments in 'X' by year".
This is useful where a country has changed its name, and the only parent category by year uses the new name.
As of September 2015[update] this is a new feature. Please leave a note at Template talk:EstcatCountry if you use this parameter, in case it changes.
- Example
{{estcatCountry|190|6|Burma|Burma|Myanmar}}
The parent categories will be Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year, but still Category:1900s establishments in Burma.
Suppressing parent category for decade
The template normally adds the page into a parent for the decade. In cases where that decade category does not exist, and it would not be useful to create it because of the short duration or small number of categories for this country, append |decadeparent=no
Disambiguation
If the country name used in the category title is ambiguous, use the optional named dab parameter to link to the mainspace article about the country.
- Example
{{estcatCountry|194|7|Malaya|Malaya|dab=Malayan Union}}
Error checking
Error messages are display if this template is used in a which is not named "Category:YYYY establishments in Foo"
These errors are tracked in two tracking categories:
- Category:EstcatCountry used in disestablishments category (Template:PAGESINCATEGORY pages) — where Template:EstcatCountry has been used in a "Category:YYYY disestablishments in Foo"
- Category:EstcatCountry used inappropriately (Template:PAGESINCATEGORY pages) — other misuses, including mis-spellings of "establishments"
