Entries កែប្រែ

List templates should be called at entries immediately after a See also header. Please do not use subst:.

Lists are called by {{list}} followed by the language code and the name of the list

  • Examples of possible English lists:
    * {{list|en|brain lobes}}
    * {{list|en|compass points}}
    * {{list|en|polygons}}
  • Examples of possible German lists:
    * {{list|de|brain lobes}}
    * {{list|de|compass points}}
    * {{list|de|polygons}}

Criteria for inclusion កែប្រែ

Scope កែប្រែ

A list may contain all terms defined by its title: for instance, a list of "grammatical cases" ({{list|en|grammatical cases}}) should contain every grammatical case. A hypernym may also be linked as explained below. All entries linked by a list may call it at a See also section.

Therefore, the English entry taste may contain:

  1. A list of senses ({{list|en|senses}}), including sight, smell, etc.
  2. A list of tastes ({{list|en|tastes}}), including salty, sweet, bitter, etc.

Quantity កែប្រែ

As a guideline, do not create tiny nor enormous lists. Please try to not let a list contain less than 3 or more than 60 links, while still keeping in it all possible terms.

When a list has many terms, subdivide it into lists with different names thus different scopes. For example, instead of creating a considerably enormous list of body parts ({{list|en|body parts}}) that would link to nail, eyeball, mandible, leg and heart, please consider creating more speficic lists such as muscles ({{list|en|muscles}}) or bones ({{list|en|bones}}).

Collation កែប្រែ

If the terms may be arranged in a common order, such as Sunday, then Monday then Tuesday at a list of days of the week, the common order is preferred. Otherwise, please use the alphabetical order or other generic collation system when possible.

Templates កែប្រែ

This is where the information about the list is stored.

Template name កែប្រែ

One script កែប្រែ

Their naming format is Template:list:(list name)/(language code). Examples:

  • (English template) Template:list:coffees/en
  • (Mandarin template) Template:list:coffees/cmn
  • (French template) Template:list:coffees/fr
  • (Portuguese template) Template:list:coffees/pt

Two or more scripts កែប្រែ

When there are two or more scripts for a language, each of them is stored inside an individual template. Each script must be specified in the template name, as follows.

  • (Mandarin template in Han script) Template:list:coffees/cmn/Hani
  • (Mandarin template in Latin script) Template:list:coffees/cmn/Latn
  • (Serbo-Croatian template in Cyrillic script) Template:list:coffees/sh/Cyrl
  • (Serbo-Croatian template in Latin script) Template:list:coffees/sh/Latn

Template layout កែប្រែ

All list templates should consist of a template call to {{list helper}} and nothing else. An empty example can be loaded by using {{list preload}}.

Parameters កែប្រែ

title: The current list title, which is basically a pluralized hypernym that explains the contents of the list.
Example: A list of chess pieces would have the hypernym "chess pieces".
lang: The current language code.
sc: The current script code, if the script is also specifiec in the template title.
cat and cat2: Optional category names to be linked to the entry.
Note: All terms listed (but not its hypernyms) are automatically categorized by the parameters cat and cat2.
appendix: An optional appendix to be linked to the entry.
hypernym: The hypernym, as an entry to be linked.
Note: This parameter may have various links at once when necessary. For instance, a list of Gregorian calendar months would have a hypernym "Gregorian calendar month", with links to two terms.
hypernym2 and hypernym3: Optional synonyms or alternative spellings of the hypernym (and not additional hypernyms of different scope or meaning).
(unnamed parameters): The terms of the list.
1syn, 2syn, etc.: An optional synonym or alternative spelling for each term of the list.

Short examples កែប្រែ

Example 1: An (uncomplete) Template:list:Gregorian calendar months/en, to be called at entries by {{list|en|Gregorian calendar months}}.

{{list helper|lang=en
|title=Gregorian calendar months
|cat=Months
|hypernym={{l|en|Gregorian calendar}} {{l|en|months}}
|January|February|March|April|May|June}}

Example 2: An (uncomplete) Template:list:Gregorian calendar months/pt, to be called at entries by {{list|pt|Gregorian calendar months}}.

{{list helper|lang=pt
|title=Gregorian calendar months
|cat=pt:Months
|hypernym={{l|pt|mês}} do {{l|pt|calendário gregoriano}}
|janeiro|fevereiro|março|abril|maio|junho}}

Technical documentation កែប្រែ

This system is made up of four meta-templates,

{{list|{{{lang}}}|{{{list name}}}}}
Used on entries to display the list, calls {{list helper}} for formatting, or adds a preload link to create a template using {{list preload}}
{{list helper|{{{list name}}}|{{{lang}}}}}
Included on ecah list template, it is responsible for the format of the line when a template exists, it uses {{list linker}} to link to the words correctly.
It also, when the template is shown directly, shows the documentation for that template.
{{list linker|{{{page}}}|{{{lang}}}}}
Displays a link to the correct language section.
{{list preload}}
Preloads an empty list-helper with some possibly useful comments.
