Module:Author
অৱয়ব
This module handles logic for pages in the Author namespace. It uses Wikidata where possible, and allows local override of all parameters.
Unit and integration tests are at Module:Author/testcases and their results can be viewed at Module talk:Author/testcases.
Function: dates
[সম্পাদনা কৰক]Get the author-page date string, with categories.
- Usage
- Common usage:
{{#invoke|Author|dates}}
- All parameters:
{{#invoke|Author|dates|birthyear=|deathyear=|dates=|wikidata_id=}}
- Parameters
-
dates
— if supplied will be used as-is for the date display (however, birthyear and deathyear can still be specified for categorization purposes)birthyear
anddeathyear
— the years of birth and death, in this format:- a numeric year
- "?" or empty for unknown (or still alive)
- use BCE for years before year 1
- Approximate dates:
- Decades or centuries: "1930s" or "20th century"
- Circa: "c/1930" or "c. 1930" or "ca 1930" or "circa 1930"
- Tenuous year: "1932/?"
- Choice of two or more years: "1932/1933"
wikidata_id
— the Wikidata identifier to use. Will default to the current page if not supplied.pagetitle
— a page title to use instead of the current page (only used for testing purposes).
- Returns
- This function returns the author's birth and death years, wrapped in parentheses and separated by an en dash. The return string is prefixed with a <br />, and suffixed with the list of appropriate categories (see below).
Categories
[সম্পাদনা কৰক]This function also adds pages to the following categories:
- In all cases (where applicable):
Category:<year> births
andCategory:<year> deaths
Category:<era> authors
with era defined byModule:Date.era()
- Category:Authors with unknown birth dates and Category:Authors with unknown death dates
- Category:Authors with approximate birth dates and Category:Authors with approximate death dates
- Category:Authors with missing birth dates and Category:Authors with missing death dates
- Category:Authors with floruit dates
- Category:Living authors
- Category:Authors with title-date mismatches (if dates are present in the page title and they don't match Wikidata)
- Where manual birth and/or death dates are supplied:
- Category:Authors with override dates (for the
dates
parameter) - Category:Authors with override birth dates and Category:Authors with override death dates
- Category:Authors with non-numeric birth dates and Category:Authors with non-numeric death dates
- Category:Authors with unrecognised birth dates and Category:Authors with unrecognised death dates
- Category:Authors with birth dates differing from Wikidata and Category:Authors with death dates differing from Wikidata
- Category:Authors with override dates (for the
Function: date
[সম্পাদনা কৰক]Get a single formatted date, with no categories.
- Usage
- Common usage:
{{#invoke|Author|date|type=}}
- All parameters:
{{#invoke|Author|date|type=|year=|wikidata_id=}}
- Parameters
-
type
— eitherbirth
ordeath
.year
— the year to display, following the same format asbirthyear
in the dates function above.wikidata_id
— the Wikdiata Q-identifier of the author to use.
