This template employs some extremely complicated and/or esoteric features of template syntax.
Please do not attempt to alter it unless you are certain that you understand the setup and are prepared to repair/revert any consequent collateral damage if the results are unexpected. Any experiments should be conducted in the template sandbox or your user space.

This is the root template for all templates that follows the format "Historical currencies of a country", where a country is a country/territory. See templates on What links here for real example.

[edit] Instruction

Here is a list of parameters

  • country: The country. Format appropriate wiki link such as "the [[Netherlands]]", "the [[United Kingdom|U.K.]]
  • flag_image: File name of the flag. Do not include "Image".
  • flag_image_alt: The alternative image tag when mouse over.
  • width_header: Width of the larger (left) portion of the header. Use the minimal number of pixels which can fill the left portion of the header full in Internet Explorer. (If you don't know what this means, experiment with a small number for width_header and you will see)
  • width_flag: Width of the flag thumbnail
  • my_name: Name of the template that transcludes this.
  • The rest is the list of currencies to be displayed. The following style is recommended
  • [[Actual article name (no redirect)|currency name without the national adjective]]<br/>start year-end year
  • Normally, the end year of a period is the start year of the next, unless the end date is December 31 of a year.
  • It is recommended to make a navigational box if there are 5 or more articles. This template only supports up to 10 articles.
