Template:Year in Oceania

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a navbox template intended for "Year in country" articles for Oceanian countries. Based on the input year, it contains all countries in Oceania in that year, linked to the respective "Year in country" article, if that doesn't exist the "Decade in country" article, and if that doesn't exist either the "History of country" article.

This template is based on {{Oceania topic}} and therefore uses mostly the same parameters. The template may not yet contain all former countries, though the goal is to make it accurate for all years after 1000.

Parameters

• {{{1}}} (first unnamed parameter): The year (required; if unspecified or not numeric an error message is given, such as on this template page)
• {{{title}}}: A custom title (default: "<year> in Oceania", linked if an article with that name exists)
• {{{state}}}: "expanded", "collapsed" or "autocollapse" (see {{collapsible option}})

Furthermore, the link to each country can be individually set using the following parameter names. If set to nothing it omits the country entirely. These parameters also work if a country is omitted by default because it didn't exist in the given year.

Current countries (ISO 3166-1 codes) AL – Albania AD – Andorra AM – Armenia AT – Austria AZ – Azerbaijan BY – Belarus BE – Belgium BA – Bosnia and Herzegovina BG – Bulgaria HR – Croatia CY – Cyprus (also as British colony) CZ – Czech Republic DK – Denmark EE – Estonia FI – Finland FR – France GE – Georgia DE – Germany GR – Greece HU – Hungary IS – Iceland IE – Ireland IT – Italy KZ – Kazakhstan LV – Latvia LI – Liechtenstein LT – Lithuania LU – Luxembourg MK – Macedonia MT – Malta (also as British colony) MD – Moldova MC – Monaco ME – Montenegro NL – Netherlands NO – Norway PL – Poland PT – Portugal RO – Romania RU – Russia SM – San Marino RS – Serbia SK – Slovakia SI – Slovenia ES – Spain SE – Sweden CH – Switzerland TR – Turkey UA – Ukraine GB – United Kingdom VA – Vatican City

Current dependencies (ISO 3166-1 codes) AX – Aland FO – Faroe Islands GI – Gibraltar GG – Guernsey IM – Isle of Man JE – Jersey States with limited recognition (ISO 3166-1 user-assigned codes) XAB – Abkhazia XKS – Kosovo XNK – Nagorno-Karabakh XNC – Northern Cyprus XSO – South Ossetia XTR – Transnistria Former countries (ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-3 codes) CSHH – Czechoslovakia DD – East Germany CSXX – Serbia and Montenegro SU – Soviet Union YU – Yugoslavia Former countries (ISO 3166-1 user-assigned codes) XAR – Aragon XAH – Austria-Hungary XBC – Country of Barcelona XBD – Baden XBV – Batavian Republic XBS – Kingdom of Bosnia XBY – Byzantine Empire XCL – Castile XDN – Denmark-Norway XEN – Kingdom of England XGB – Kingdom of Great Britain XHL – Kingdom of Holland XHR – Holy Roman Empire XKU – Kalmar Union XLN – Kingdom of León XMD – Moldavia XMN – Mongol Empire XMW – Grand Duchy of Moscow XOT – Ottoman Empire XPP – Papal States XPR – Prussia XSC – Kingdom of Scotland XSN – Sweden and Norway XWL – Wallachia XWG – West Germany XWU – West Ukraine

It's technically possible to input non-integer years like 1976.5, but that wouldn't make much sense, and year articles are not likely to exist for such years.

Examples

Example with custom title and links:

{{Year in Oceania|2002|title=Title|DK=Custom link for Fiji}} →

Note the (red) custom link for Fiji.

Code for adding countries

* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|Years|name=Country name}}

"Years" is a series of up to six unnamed parameters where each pair of two identifies a time period in which the country existed. Omit either for an unbounded interval (since the first year or until the second year). Some examples:

Code	Interval	Country included in years
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300)	1100–1300
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|1500|1700|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300), [1500, 1700)	1100–1300 and 1500–1700
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|name=Name}}	[1100, +∞)	since 1100
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1300|name=Name}}	(−∞, 1300)	until 1300
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|1500|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300), [1500, +∞)	from 1100 until 1300 and after 1500
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|name=Name}}	(−∞, 1100), [1300, +∞)	before 1100 and after 1300
* {{Year in Oceania/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|name=Name}}	(−∞, +∞)	always

By design, each interval includes the left endpoint and excludes the right endpoint. A country with the coding from the first example would therefore be listed if the input year is 1100, but not if the input year is 1300.

Limits

This template uses two {{#ifexist}} parser functions for each included country. Because {{#ifexist}} is an expensive parser function, only 500 of these may be used on a given page (see Wikipedia:Template limits). Depending on the number of countries in the given year, this template can therefore be transcluded only a few times on the same page, and if a page already uses a lot of expensive parser functions, adding it may cause the page to be automatically added to Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls.
