Notes

[edit]

Pages using Dutch data templates:

They use

  • {{do for every Dutch municipality|table row Dutch municipality with province}}
  • {{do for every Dutch municipality|single-column table row}}

Thus Template:Do for every Dutch municipality has to use municipality names accepted by Template:Table row Dutch municipality with province[1]

When the article name of a municipality is no longer the name used in the do-template then:

  • if there is a data template, only the article parameter needs to be changed
  • if there is no data template then there are the following options[2]
    • a data template is created with the old municipality name
    • a data template is created with a new municipality name (typically the new article name) and the name in the do-template is replaced by the article name

Creation of a data template for a Dutch municipality:

  • Use the link in User:Patrick/data Netherlands; if desired, change the name in the URL; in the preloaded data template fill in the parameters article and province, and save. If the name was changed, change it accordingly in the do-template.

Thus the name in the do-template does not have to be changed. If it is changed for other housekeeping reasons (such as municipal re-division, or a more suitable name):

  • if there is a data template, rename it and change and add parameters accordingly: change the value of parameter 1 (name after "Data ") and add, if not there yet, parameters article and "short name")
  • if there is no data template the possibilities are:

  1. ^ Template:Single-column table row always works, provided that if the data template exists it is correct.
  2. ^ The creation of a data template as explained is simpler than changing the name in the do-template, with the required changes elsewhere.
