ح

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template generates an abbreviation for reign (or the Latin rexit): ح

Typical example:

  • Emperor [[Augustus]] of [[Roman Empire|Rome]] ({{reign|27 BCE|14 CE}})

produces:

Default output

  • With no parameters and two values, the display is:
    • with simple values (en dash is not spaced): {{reign|1962|present}}ح. 1962–present
    • with one or more complex values (containing whitespace; en dash is spaced): {{reign|c. 23 BCE|5 CE}}ح. c. 23 BCE – 5 CE
    • with only a start date: {{reign|1962}}ح. 1962–  (This usage is deprecated; use "present" to indicate an ongoing time span, per MOS:DATERANGE – leaving it blank looks like an error.)

In all such cases, the following is true:

  1. The "ح" is marked up with <abbr>...</abbr> to provide a mouse-over tooltip that explains that the abbreviation means "reign"
  2. The space after the "ح" and any between dates and dash are non-breaking spaces, while the values of the date parameters are also non-breaking, in case they contain any spaces. I.e., no line-wrapping will occur anywhere within "ح. c. 23 BCE – 5 CE".

Additional notes:

  • If a blank first date is given, a "?" will be generated for it: {{reign||732}} produces "ح. ?–732", and {{reign||c. 732}} produces "ح. ? – c. 732"
  • Legacy use (deprecated): If the template is used with no values, it simply outputs the marked-up "ح" Given something like {{reign}} 1962–present, a line wrap may occur between the "ح" and the first date unless a non-breaking space is used.
  • This template does not do any date error checking like that performed by the citation templates. If you input "Ferberary 38, 200017", this will be the output.

Parameters

  • |1= or first unnamed parameter – Start date, e.g. "1935", "c. 1205", "37 BCE", "August 1434", "January 1, 2017".
  • |2= or second unnamed parameter – End date, e.g. "present", or any of the sorts of dates used in |1=
  • |3= or third unnamed parameter – Start date of second range.
  • |4= or fourth unnamed parameter - End date of second range.
    • The template only supports two date ranges (plus individual dates, see below). It can be extended fairly easily to support more if necessary.
    • The |3= and |4= parameters do not work in the absence of |2=.
  • |single= – A single date (typically a year) for a short reign, where no range is needed. Using {{reign|single=1872}} avoids the redundant "ح. 1872–1872" and emits "ح. 1872". (This is actually an alias of the |post-date= parameter.)
  • |show= a.k.a. |link= a.k.a |lk= – Controls formatting of the "r.":
    • |show=none – Produces no tooltip or link: "ح"; intended for use at second and later occurrences. This can also be done with other negative values such as no, n, off, false, 0.
    • |show=link – Replaces the <abbr> markup with a link to the Reign article: "ح. "; rarely needed, per MOS:OVERLINKING. This can also be done with positive values such as yes, y, on, true, 1
    • |show=abbrDeprecated; shows "r." with <abbr> markup, with is already the default output; this parameter does not need to be used.
  • |pre-date= – A single date to appear before the date range (a comma-space will be inserted between them). This parameter can be "cheated" to show multiple dates in series, e.g. |pre-date=1645, 1652
  • |post-date= – Same as |pre-date=, but appears after the date range. (|single= is an alias of this parameter, which is coded to not emit a comma-space if used as the only date.)
    • Use these two parameters to specify independent years rather than a range, for two short, non-contiguous terms in office: {{reign|pre-date=1732|post-date=1735}}ح. 1732, 1735
    • Warning: These two parameters are included within the non-wrapping span; if you misuse them to insert long-winded annotations instead of dates this will cause display problems if you do not turn on |wrap=yes.
  • |mid-date= – A single date to appear between the |1=|2= and |3=|4= date ranges. As with the former two parameters, it can be "cheated" to show multiple dates in series.
  • |era= – Gives the "era" at the end. Used (typically with BCE or BC, and without links after first occurrence) when the era must be specified and both/all dates are simple and within the same era. E.g., {{reign|89|67|era=[[Common Era|BCE]]}} produces "ح. 89–67 BCE" (while {{reign|89|67 BCE}} produces the incorrectly spaced "ح. 89 – 67 BCE").
    • When either or both dates contain whitespace, this parameter is optional and harmless (and correctly produces the spaced en dash); {{reign|89|c. 67|era=BCE}} yields "ح. 89 – c. 67 BCE" which is identical to the output of {{reign|89|c. 67 BCE}}: "ح. 89 – c. 67 BCE".
    • This parameter can also be used for a year, when followed by various months as the dates; it is not really limited to "eras" in the vast sense.
  • There is no parameter for front-loading both dates with "c.", "AD", or another value. This is because:
    • "c." applies to a specific date: "c. 89 – 67 BCE" means "from approximately 89 BCE to definitely 67 BCE". To express that both dates are approximate, use {{reign|c. 89|c. 67 BCE}} or {{reign|c. 89|c. 67|BCE}}.
    • "AD", when needed (usually only for perhaps confusingly short dates like "9" and "32") is given after the date on Wikipedia, as in most other academic publications; the AD 32 style is not used here.
  • |wrap=yes – Permits the content to line-wrap at key points (right after a comma, i.e. between two date ranges, between |pre-date= and |1=, between the late range date and |post-date=). Any value supplied to |wrap= will turn this option on. Does not permit wrapping within a date range, or between the "ح" (or replacement wording provided by |show= options) and the first date, or between the last date and |era=.

For use in tables and such

Some of these could also be used, for clarity, in lead sections of articles that are confusingly thick with abbreviations and other markup.

  • |show= a.k.a. |link= a.k.a. |lk= – Can be used to replace the "r.":
    • |show=word – Uses the word "reigned" instead of "r.": حكم 
    • |show=colon – Uses the word "reign", followed by a colon, instead of "r.": حكم: 
    • |show=lword – Same as |show=word, but with a link to Reign article: حكم 
    • |show=lcolon – Same as |show=colon, but with a link to Reign article: حكم
    • |show=blank – Shows nothing but the date values and dash, for use in tables and infoboxes with a header that already says this data indicates the reign.
  • |cap=yes – Capitalizes the r./reigned/reign text, for use in lists and such. This should never be used in mid-sentence in regular text. Any value supplied to |cap= will turn this option on. Examples:
    • |cap=y alone – ح
    • |cap=y|show=noneح. 
    • |cap=y|show=linkح. 
    • |cap=y|show=wordحكم 
    • |cap=y|show=colonحكم: 
    • |cap=y|show=lwordحكم 
    • |cap=y|show=lcolonحكم
  • |sortable= – Only for use in sortable tables {{crossref|(see below for pros and cons of using thing). Uses as a sort key the value of |sort_date= – or, if that was not specified, the value of one of the following, in descending order of precedence: |single=, |pre-date=, |1=, |2=, |post-date=; at least one such date must be specified for this to work.
  • |sort_date= – Provide a custom date to sort by, e.g. ISO yyyy-mm-dd format, or "-43" for "43 BCE", or "983" for "c. 983". This parameter may also be spelled |sortdate= or |sort-date=.

For use in non-royalty contexts

  • |label= – Free-form parameter for replacing "ح" with some other word or phrase. Overrides any |show= or |cap= values. Examples:
    • |label=in officein office 
    • |label=[[World Snooker Championship|World Champion]]:World Champion
    • Doing {{reign|1653|1658|label=ruled}} is effectively synonymous with doing something like ruled {{reign|1653|1658|show=blank}}, but the former has the virtue of being more concise and grouping the label into the template, in case it needs to be moved.
    • If |wrap=yes, then content may wrap after |label=, since its content may be arbitrarily long.
  • The aforementioned |show=blank can also be used to repurpose this template for all sorts of date and even non-date numeric ranges.

  1. ^ c.1207 is invalid style (should be c. 1207), and it consequently is wrongly parsed as a simple date, so the en dash in turn is incorrectly unspaced.
  2. ^ 89|69 BCE produces a spaced en dash, incorrect in this case because the date range is simple and "BCE" applies to both; this should instead be done with 89|69|era=BCE.
  3. ^ "ح. c. 89 – 67 BCE" is correct because c. (circa) applies only to a single date. Using c. 89–67 is invalid, as ambiguous. To show two uncertain dates: "ح. c. 89 – c. 67 BCE".
