User:Who R you?/sandbox11/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Returns best standardized name linked to best possible existing article for an Ontario provincial by−election based on Year, Month, and By-Election Riding.

Usage

[edit]
{{OntElec Link | Year | By-Election Riding | Mth }}

where some or all of the unnamed parameters are specified and indicate, in sequence:

  1   Year     Year of the by−election;  
2 By−Election Riding Name of the Riding holding a By−Election {See Note: below};
3 Mth 3-character month of by−election (e.g. Sep)

Note: When naming articles, etc, ridings names with more than one town/region/etc name are expected to be separated by a "—" (—) and hyphenated names are expected to be separated by standard keyboard hyphen "-".  The term "by-election" is typically expected to appear uncapitalized (unless it begins a sentence/title/etc in which case the "B" is expected to be capitalized as in "By-election"), and titles with the term "by-election" are expected to contain the standard keyboard hyphen "-".  (e.g. Ontario provincial by-election, Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, Nov1867).  Ontario has no single towns/regions/etc which are hyphenated, but federal riding names, such as "Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel", are expected to use the appropriate mix of standard keyboard hyphen "-" and the em-dash "—".


Existing article names are searched for in the following order and the first match is returned:

  • Ontario provincial by-election, By-Election Riding, MthYear
  • Ontario provincial by-elections, By-Election Riding, MthYear       ( Note the added "s" )
  • Ontario provincial by-election, By-Election Riding, Year
  • Ontario provincial by-elections, By-Election Riding, Year
  • Ontario provincial by-election, By-Election Riding
  • Ontario provincial by-elections, By-Election Riding
  • Ontario provincial by-election, MthYear
  • Ontario provincial by-elections, MthYear
  • Ontario provincial by-election, Year
  • Ontario provincial by-elections, Year
