Template:AUD/doc

This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "A$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Australian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{A$|value}}

Example:

• {{A$}} → A$
• {{A$|123.45}} → A$123.45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link A$ to the article Australian dollar. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{A$|123.45|link=yes}} → A$123.45

Inflation calculation

The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1901 ≤ year < 2018), the equivalent value represented in 2018 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

• {{A$|value|year}}
• {{A$|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

• {{A$|100|1900}} → A$100
• {{A$|100|1901}} → A$100 (equivalent to $6,551 in 2018)
• {{A$|100|1966}} → A$100 (equivalent to $1,116 in 2018)
• {{A$|100|1966|link=yes}} → A$100 (equivalent to $1,116 in 2018)
• {{A$|100|2017}} → A$100 (equivalent to $100 in 2018)
• {{A$|100|2018}} → A$100
• {{A$|100|2024}} → A$100
• {{A$|100|2025}} → A$100

Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest dollar (instead of the nearest cent), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:

• {{A$|10|1935}} → A$10 (equivalent to $416.08 in 2018)
• {{A$|10|1935|round=0}} → A$10 (equivalent to $416 in 2018)
• {{A$|10|1935|about=yes}} → A$10 (equivalent to about $416 in 2018)
• {{A$|1000|1935|round=2}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to $41,608.11 in 2018)
• {{A$|1000|1935|round=-2}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to $41,600 in 2018)
• {{A$|1000|1935|round=-2|about=yes}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to about $41,600 in 2018)
