Template:Native name
From AlternateWiki
(Redirected from Template:Native phrase)
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | For {{native name}} error messages appearing in various infoboxen, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Infoboxes/Archive 11. |
An inline formatting template, based on {{Lang}}, for indicating the language in which a native name has been given. By default, the native name is displayed in italics, followed by the language's name in parentheses.
The template's defaults can be overridden and the parenthesis excluded, in which case there may be no visible changes to the text where it's used. An HTML span, however, still identifies the native name as a linguistic element, meaning that web browsers and screen readers can select a particular font, formatting, pronunciation, etc., for it.
For multiple native names, use {{native name list}}
Syntax[edit source]
{{Native name|<IETF language tag>|<the native name>}}
Parameters[edit source]
| Parameter name | Description and examples | Required |
|---|---|---|
| [first unnamed] | The IETF language tag code for the native language. French, for instance, is "fr"; Spanish is "es"; Arabic is "ar"; etc. | yes |
| [second unnamed] | The native name, in the native language (with accents, etc.). | yes |
italics(or italic)
|
Set to "off" or "no" to disable displaying the native name in italics.
Example: |
no |
paren(or icon)
|
Set to "omit", "off" or "no" to suppress the appearance of the native language's name in a parenthesis after the native name.
Example: |
no |
parensize(previously fontsize)
|
Use to specify a font-size for the parenthesis. Per MOS:FONTSIZE, do not make this text smaller in infoboxes, since the text is already at 88% of normal.
Example: |
no |
nolink
|
Set to anything (e.g. "on") to suppress the appearance of the native language's name as a link. | no |
script (deprecated)
|
when needed, include ISO 15924 in {{{1}}} IETF language tag; e.g. 'sr-Cyrl' |
no |
Examples[edit source]
- Common usage:
{{Native name|de|Deutschland}}–> Deutschland (German)
- Code and result for the same name "Deutschland" above but with italics switched off, nolink switched on and a parensize of 90%:
{{Native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|nolink=on|parensize=90%}}–> Deutschland (German)
- Retaining no italics but suppressing the parenthesis which produces the same as if the {{lang}} template had been used:
{{Native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|paren=omit}}–> Deutschland
- Language does not have an ISO code
{{Native name|mis|Banib|paren=omit}}([[Boonwurrung language]]) –> Banib (Boonwurrung language)
- Language is not known
{{Native name|und|Bakoma|paren=omit}}–> Bakoma
