Template:Year in nationality music category/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Makes a category of the form "YYYYs in nationality music", e.g. Category:1997 in Spanish music or Category:1953 in American music

Normal usage

[edit]

{{Year in nationality music category}}

The template needs to know the nationality and country. (e.g. on Category:1975 in Irish music, the nationality is "Irish" and the country is "Ireland").

By default, the template takes the nationality from the title, and uses Template:GetCountryNameFromAdjective to get the name of the country.

Exceptional usage

[edit]

{{Year in nationality music category|CountryName|Nationality}} In some rare cases, the Template:GetCountryNameFromAdjective may not find a country to match the nationality. If so, the country and nationality may be supplied as parameters

e.g.

  • {{Year in nationality music category|China|Chinese}}
  • {{Year in nationality music category|United Kingdom|British}}

In all cases, the year is drawn from the category's title, and cannot be overridden.

Note that if parameters are supplied, the page is categorised in a tracking category:
