ਫਰਮਾ:Foo–Bar relations category
 | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Creates a category page for a category of bilateral relations between two countries named "Foo" and "Bar".
The page name must take the form "Category:Foo–Bar relations", with an endash between the two country names. If the title does not take this form, the template will report an error.
Note that use on "Category:Foo-Bar relations" will be treated as an error, because it uses a dash rather than an endash.
Usage[ਸੋਧੋ]
{{Foo–Bar relations category}}
Two optional parameters are available:
main=, which sets the name of the "main article" linked in the category header. The default is the category title, but in some cases this may not be appropriate:map=, which sets the filename of the map displayed in the category header. The default is derived from the category title, but in some cases this may be in appropriate or unavailable
{{Foo–Bar relations category|main=Some article|map=somefile}}
Output[ਸੋਧੋ]
Most countries[ਸੋਧੋ]
[[File:Foo Bar Locator.png]]
{{portal|International relations|Foo|Bar}}
{{Cat main}}
[[Category:Bilateral relations of Foo|Bar]]
[[Category:Bilateral relations of Bar|Foo]]
"The" Country[ਸੋਧੋ]
This template uses {{CountryPrefixThe}} to intelligently handle countries whose name is prefixed by "the" in running text. e.g. "the United States" or "the Soviet Union"
Example: Category:Comoros–Ghana relations
{{portal|International relations|Ghana|Comoros}}
{{Cat main}}
[[Category:Bilateral relations of Ghana|Comoros]]
[[Category:Bilateral relations of the Comoros|Ghana]]
Exceptions[ਸੋਧੋ]
In some cases, the parent Category:Bilateral relations of SomeCountry may use a different name to that used in "Category:SomeCountry–OtherCountry relations" categories. In such cases, a sub-template Template:Foo–Bar relations category/fixcountryname handles the correction. As of December 2018, its only entry is Palestine/State of Palestine: e.g. Category:Ireland–State of Palestine relations is a subcat of Category:Bilateral relations of the State of Palestine.
Location map[ਸੋਧੋ]
Unless a |map= parameter is supplied, the sub-template {{Foo–Bar relations category/mapname}} looks for a map, and displays it if found.
There is a large collection of bilateral maps at Commons:Category:Bilateral maps.
For an example Category:Foo–Bar relations, the template looks in the following order:
- File:Foo Bar Locator.png
- File:Foo Bar Locator.svg
- File:Bar Foo Locator.png
- File:Bar Foo Locator.svg
If no file is found with those titles, the search is repeated using a lower "locator".
