Template talk:Yearbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to add a box at the top of a years page in order to make it easier to navigate around the timeline.

Contents

[edit] Usage

After copying the following onto the page

{{yearbox|
| in?= 
| cp= 
| c= 
| cf= 

| yp1=
| yp2=
| yp3=
| year=
| ya1=
| ya2=
| ya3=
 
| dp3= 
| dp2= 
| dp1= 
| d= 
| dn1= 
| dn2= 
| dn3= 
}}

you must enter values after the = sign.

in?= (optional) If the page is "XXXX in music" then put: in?=in music. Omitting this parameter will suppress the "Year in XXXX" row

cp= The century previous to the one the page is in. cp=[[20th century]] for 2004

c= The century the page is in. c=[[21st century]] for 2004

cf= The century following the one the page is in. cn1=[[22nd century]] for 2004

yp1=

yp2= These 3 are the 3 decades previous to the one the page is in.

yp3=

year= Page year

ya1=

ya2= These 3 are the 3 years following the page.

ya3=

dp3=

dp2= These 3 are the 3 decades previous to the one the page is in.

dp1=

d= The decade the page is in. d=[[2000s]] for 2004.

dn1=

dn2= These 3 are the 3 decades following the one the page is in.

dn3=

[edit] Examples

These two boxes look exactly the same, but the first one has in?= in aviation so the first line lists the links to the appropriate "Year in Topic" pages.

Centuries: 20th Century · 21st century · 22nd century
Decades: 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s 2030s
Years: 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008


Years in film: 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
Centuries: 20th Century · 21st century · 22nd century
Decades: 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s 2030s
Years: 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

[edit] Alternate version of this template

I've made a version of this template that needs fewer parameters (although it can't currently use the in? parameter).

Instead of

Centuries: 20th Century · 21st century · 22nd century
Decades: 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s 2030s
Years: 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
{{yearbox|
| cp=20th Century
| c=21st century 
| cf=22nd century

| yp1=2003
| yp2=2004
| yp3=2005
| year=2006
| ya1=2007
| ya2=2008
| ya3=2009
 
| dp3=1970s
| dp2=1980s
| dp1=1990s
| d=2000s
| dn1=2010s
| dn2=2020s
| dn3=2030s
}}

it can be called like this:

Centuries: 20th Century · 21st Century · 22nd Century
Decades: 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s 2030s
Years: 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
{{Simple Yearbox|
previousCenturies=19|th | 20|th |
century=21|st |
followingCentury=22|nd |
decadeOfCentury=0 |
yearOfDecade=6
}}

[edit] Enhancement proposal

I would like to add in2? and in3? parameters so that I can replace Template:TV years header with this template and be able to link to film, television, and home video. Any objections or comments? This shouldn't affect any current usage so I can't see there being much objection. Cburnett 16:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I know I didn't wait a long time for feedback but I went ahead and did it. See 2006 in film, 2006 in home video, and 2006 in television for usage. Cburnett 14:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
