Template:DisestcatCountryCentury
Usage[change source]
{{DisestcatCountryCentury| YY | century | previous century | next century | [ millennium ] | country [ | sort key [ | new name ]] [ |decades=yes ] [ |no-table=yes ] }}
- Examples
{{DisestcatCountryCentury|19|20th|19th|21st|2nd|the United States|United States}} – for Category:20th-century disestablishments in the United States
{{DisestcatCountryCentury|0|1st|1st BC|2nd|1st|China}} – for Category:1st-century disestablishments in China
{{DisestcatCountryCentury|4|5th|4th|6th|1st|the Roman Empire|Roman Empire|decades=yes}} – for Category:5th-century disestablishments in the Roman Empire
The 5th parameter is optional. If it is omitted, the millennium category will not be populated; e.g. {{DisestcatCountryCentury|15|16th|15th|17th||Aragon}} will not put the century category into a parent Category:2nd-millennium disestablishments in Aragon. Consensus at WP:CFD discussions points to not having millennium categories for territories that only existed during one millennium.
Table of decades and years[change source]
A table of decades and years will be produced if the century is 11th or later. This can be suppressed by appending the parameter |no-table=yes
Note that categories for decades and years by country before the 11th century are generally deprecated following a series of CFD discussions in 2017, e.g. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 3.
However, decade categories were not merged for the Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire. To display a list of decade categories (but not years), append the parameter |decades=yes
Change of country name[change source]
The optional 8th parameter sort key can also be used to override the country name in the parent categories, "Disestablishments in 'X' by century" and "Nth-millennium disestablishments in 'X'".
This is useful where a country has changed its name, and the only parent categories by century & millennium use 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
{{DisestcatCountryCentury|18|19th|18th|20th|2nd|Burma|Burma|Myamnar}}
The parent categories will be Category:Disestablishments in Myanmar by century and Category:2nd-millennium disestablishments in Myanmar.
