Usage[edit]

{{country|infobox| Country Name }}

Template is used in articles about countries for inserting an infobox about the country.

First version[edit]

This should be usable the same as {{Infobox_Country}}. I first have to add some glue to {{country}} so it will function through country. (SEWilco 22:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Done, should always be used through "country" incantation. (SEWilco 08:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

The entire scheme around this template is in violation of the WP:AUM policy. The developers have confrimed that templates calling or within other templates cause extra processing. This policy has been reaffirmed by the Arbitrators as valid. The template namespace is not a general data repository. Template:Infobox Country fulfills all the needs for this function, and the data is readily available and stored with the article itself. -- Netoholic @ 08:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of a newly defined policy. I'll ask at AUM about plans for transitions. (SEWilco 09:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]
