Template:VICcity/doc

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

Usage

Link to a disambiguated article

• Instead of [[Article, Victoria|Article]], use

{{VICcity|Article}}

• Instead of [[Article (Victoria)|Article]], use

{{VICcity|b1=on|Article}}

All parameters

{{VICcity|1|2|3|4|b1=|b2=|b3=|b4=|pre=}}

Here's what you should fill in

• 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=Castlemaine, just simply Castlemaine.
• 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> (Victoria)".
  • Omit parameter if the article uses a comma for disambiguation, in the form of "<article>, Victoria".
• 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.
