Template:Multiple releases

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is intended for software that is differently versioned on different platforms.

This template accepts three sets of parameters: |branchn=, |versionn= and |daten= where n is a natural number. For a specific n, there must be both |branchn= and |versionn=. |daten= is optional.

Example

The infobox on the right may be produced using following code:

Opera Mini (example)

Stable release(s)
Android 13.0.2036.98649 / December 9, 2015 (2015-12-09) iOS 13.0.0 / March 1, 2016 (2016-03-01) Windows Phone 9.0.0.201 / September 29, 2015 (2015-09-29) BlackBerry 8.0 / March 12, 2014 (2014-03-12) Java ME 8.0 / March 12, 2014 (2014-03-12) Symbian 7.1 / January 25, 2013 (2013-01-25)

{{Infobox web browser
| name                    = Opera Mini (example)
| logo                    = Opera Mini logo horizontal.png
| ver layout              = stacked

| latest release version  = {{multiple releases

  | branch1  = Android
  | version1 = 13.0.2036.98649
  | date1    = {{Start date and age|2015|12|9}}
  
  | branch2  = iOS
  | version2 = 13.0.0
  | date2    = {{Start date and age|2016|03|01}}
  
  | branch3  = Windows Phone
  | version3 = 9.0.0.201
  | date3    = {{Start date and age|2015|09|29}}
  
  | branch4  = BlackBerry
  | version4 = 8.0
  | date4    = {{Start date and age|2014|03|12}}
  
  | branch5  = Java ME
  | version5 = 8.0
  | date5    = {{Start date and age|2014|03|12}}
  
  | branch6  = Symbian
  | version6 = 7.1
  | date6    = {{Start date and age|2013|01|25}}
  }}
}}

In this certain example, the lengthy information placed in |latest release version= can be placed into {{Latest stable software release/Opera Mini}} instead. {{Infobox web browser}} looks for it when |latest release version= is absent. (Please consult with Template:Infobox software/doc to find out more.) This way, the same template may be used on other pages mentioning software versions, e.g.:

Browser	Vendor	Version
Opera Mini	Opera Software	Android 32.0.2254.123747 / 2 January 2018 (2018-01-02) iOS 16.0.7 / 18 December 2017 (2017-12-18) Windows Mobile 10 and Phone 8.1 9.1.0.232 / 16 June 2016 (2016-06-16) BlackBerry 8.0.1 / 10 July 2014 (2014-07-10) Symbian 7.1.32453 / 6 December 2016 (2016-12-06) Java ME 8.0 / 12 March 2014 (2014-03-12)

{| class="wikitable floatright"
|-
! Browser
! Vendor
! Version
|-
| [[Opera Mini]]
| [[Opera Software]]
| {{Latest stable software release/Opera Mini}}
|}

However, while {{Infobox web browser}} get informations from {{Latest stable software release/Opera Mini}}, this template won't create a link for edit as {{LSR}} and {{LPR}}, so you have to set |var layout= as stacked, then the infobox will produce the link itself.
