Revision as of 19:37, 25 November 2012

This template offers a multiple choice for defining the age category of a (character) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

1. The selected age from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
   • child
   • adult
   • any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown

• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: more category values should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{infobox character/age|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{infobox character/age|child}}

Child ^{[list all]}

Or this:

{{infobox character/age|adult}}

Adult ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important, so these all have the same result:

{{infobox character/age|adult}}
{{infobox character/age|aDULt}}
{{infobox character/age|Adult}}
{{infobox character/age|ADULT}}

Adult ^{[list all]}

You may leave the "age" undefined (which would raise the Characters of unknown age maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:

{{infobox character/age}}
{{infobox character/age|}}
{{infobox character/age|children}}
{{infobox character/age|grandpa}}
{{infobox character/age|two}}
{{infobox character/age|baby}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{infobox character/age|child|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Child Characters. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
