Template:PaintingfromCZcat
PaintingfromCZcat does extensive tests of page existence in the wiki, to maybe connect different eras on a timeline which used different names to refer to a similar or same subject over a period of time. If a name is stable for a set of categories per decade, it is almost certain that one of the two other templates should be used.
PaintingfromCZcat should be employed when a set of categories dedicated to the same topic uses different country names for historic reasons. If country names deviate at random, because uploaders did not care to rectify and use a common denominator, or if the naming dispute is local to Commons and has no grounds in publications elsewhere, this template should not be used as a drop-in-solution for convenience. If there is no historic evidence that supports having alternating country names in a set, then titles of such a set of categories should be fixed and a dedicated country name should be used as appropiate.
Note that there is a bias in redlinks. If a category title does not exist in the wiki yet, the term Czechia is used to link to. It is beyond the scope of a navbar to suggest both titles, but this bias is not set in stone either. The bias can be changed by exchanging values of the template parameters 3a
and 3
, when editing this page. If both variants exist, the Czech Republic will be prefered, unless it is a redirect (real redirects and cat redirects are searched and resolved to their target if possible).
Usage
[edit]This template provides a small navigational box with painting categories (by year). A given start year leads to earlier and later categories. It can be used both in image files and in categories. Syntax:
{{PaintingfromCZcat|MCD|Y}} <!-- variables are M: Millennium, C: Century, D: Decade, Y: Year -->
{{PaintingfromCZcat}}
The second form auto-deducts MCD and Y from a transcluding PAGENAME. For this to work, the title of the transcluding page needs to start with a pattern 'MCDY paintings '.
- Example input
{{PaintingfromCZcat|187|1}}
- categorizes into Category:1871 paintings by country of origin or Category:1871 paintings by country if the former does not exist
- template users need to undertake a edit/save cycle for refresh of categorization
- this applies esp. if by country of origin cat is created after pages had already been categorized into by country
- Example output
1870s paintings from the Czech Republic |
