Template talk:Aircraft nation decade by type

This is a navigational template for military aircraft categories. 'ntd' stands for 'nation', 'type', and 'decade', the three characteristics used to sort aircraft categories that this template is applied to. Similar templates include Template:Airntd, Template:Airnt, Template:Airnd, Template:Milairnd, Template:Civairnd, Template:Milairtd, Template:Civairtd. It uses {{qif}} statements to deal with problematic nations such as Russia, which do not always have the same name in every decade. It is meant to templatise the category scheme at WP:Air/C.

How to use the template

You must specify the following parametres:

{{{nation}}}: Must be exactly the same as the adjective in the category title.
{{{type}}}: Use 'attack aircraft' or 'civil trainer aircraft', not 'attack' or 'civil trainer'. Never omit 'military' or 'civil' if it is included in the category title. Never capitalise this parametre.
{{{Type}}}: Exactly the same as {{{type}}}, but must be capitalised.
{{{1}}}: The first three digits of the associated decade; if the 1990s, use 199 for this parametre.

Deprecation

This template should be rewritten to use the new ParserFunctions. I'm going to take a stab in my userspace, but this template looks pretty complicated. Mackensen (talk) 12:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this has been tried before, but I reverted it because it wasn't working properly. Good luck: it is indeed complicated. Ingoolemo ^talk 15:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm about 60% done now. Mackensen (talk) 16:26, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

China

Can someone who understands this template take a look at Category:Chinese attack aircraft 1950–1959 and similar categories and fix the settings here so that PRC always displays and produces "China"/"Chinese"? Timrollpickering (talk) 14:10, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request to fix miscategorization

Hi everyone! I'm working to remove article categories from user sandbox pages. Could someone please update this template so User:TSRL/sandbox/Category:1980s Argentine sailplanes is not miscategorized? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 20:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additon of Civil aircraft: Experimental

There is a category for military experimental aircraft, but what about civil experimental aircraft? For example, the X-66 would fall into this category, and I would imagine many more would fit, just a suggestion. A-37Dragonfly (talk) 21:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
