Template:NTcity/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the basic syntax you need to get a listing of appropriately wikilinked Northern Territory cities, suburbs, and features. This is mainly used for junction and exit list tables for NT highways, but can be used elsewhere.

Usage

[edit]
Link to a disambiguated article
  • Instead of [[Article, Northern Territory|Article]], use
{{NTcity|Article}}
  • Instead of [[Article (Northern Territory)|Article]], use
{{NTcity|b1=on|Article}}
All parameters
{{NTcity|1|2|3|4|b1=|b2=|b3=|b4=|pre=}}

Here's what you should fill in

[edit]
  • 1, 2, 3, 4: The name of the city, suburb, or feature to be wikilinked to.
    • The text entered here is what will be displayed in the list.
    • Enter the text exactly as it appears in the article title, but without disambiguation
    • The parameters replace the numbers, i.e. it should not be 1=Katherine, just simply Katherine.
  • b1=, b2=, b3=, b4=: Can be set to on or omitted.
    • Set as on if the article uses brackets for disambiguation, in the form of "<article> (Northern Territory)".
    • Omit parameter if the article uses a comma for disambiguation, in the form of "<article>, Northern Territory".
  • pre= or p= or dash=: Can be used to include punctuation at the start of the list (a comma or ndash).
    • If set to dash, or ndash, or d, or n, or on, the list will be preceded by an ndash (–).
    • If set to comma, or equivalently , (an actual comma), the list will be preceded by a comma (,). This can be used to continue a list if multiple instances of this template are used.
    • If omitted, or set to off, or equivalently no, the list will not be preceded by any punctuation
  • All parameters except for 1 are optional.
