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

संपादन

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 and deathyear — 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).

This function also adds pages to the following categories:

  1. In all cases (where applicable):
  2. Where manual birth and/or death dates are supplied:

Function: date

संपादन

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 — either birth or death.
  • year — the year to display, following the same format as birthyear in the dates function above.
  • wikidata_id — the Wikdiata Q-identifier of the author to use.
Returns
A simple string with no categories or leading or trailing line breaks.
