Template:Local/help

Full version: Default and all countries

{{Local
|default=default text
|Zambia=Zambian version
|Kenya=Kenyan version
|Rwanda=Rwandan version
|Sierra Leone=Sierra Leonean version
|Uganda=Ugandan version
|Ghana=Ghanaian version
}}

gives " default text^[-]Zambian version^[Z]Kenyan version^[K]Rwandan version^[R]Sierra Leonean version^[S]Ugandan version^[U]Ghanaian version^[G]", where on localised pages only the appropriate string appears, see Template:Local/help/rw and Template:Local/help/zm.

It's possible to display the 'default' value only on page that would otherwise show all values:

{{Local
|default=default text
|Zambia=Zambian version
|Kenya=Kenyan version
|Rwanda=Rwandan version
|Sierra Leone=Sierra Leonean version
|Uganda=Ugandan version
|Ghana=Ghanaian version
|defaultonly=1
}}

gives default text I.e. the "defaultonly" attribute shows the default text only, which can be useful for images, as you would otherwise see a stack of images.

Setting a default

With default

With a default setting, the default text is displayed for all countries, except where specific values are given:

{{Local
|default=default value
|Rwanda=Rwandan version
}}

gives "default value^[-]...^[Z]...^[K]Rwandan version^[R]...^[S]...^[U]...^[G]", see Template:Local/help/rw (which displays "Rwandan version") and Template:Local/help/zm (which displays "default value").

Without default

If no default is given, only the present values countries are displayed on localised pages:

{{Local
|Rwanda=Rwandan version
}}

gives "Rwandan version^[R]", see Template:Local/help/rw (which displays "Rwandan version") and Template:Local/help/zm (which displays nothing).

With default, blanking one value

With a default setting, the default text is displayed for all countries, except where specific values are given, including a blank value:

{{Local
|default=default value
|Rwanda=
}}

gives "default value^[-]...^[Z]...^[K][R]...^[S]...^[U]...^[G]", see Template:Local/help/rw (which displays "" in the Rwandan version) and Template:Local/help/zm (which displays "default value").
