Module:Author
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 কৰকThis 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
