Rev: 2F-k:

Adds Edit link to array box, Fixed logic sense of ALL param., added Inhib/Override params (All UCASE) to bypass a sister if they don't or do want a template... whichever is opposite case from normal.
(Downside: If they accept or not accept the project, then will have to change all tagging here and re-export... but we're doing that now. It's going to get far harder as time as more goes out.

Similar templates at English sister projects [edit]
This project under construction ...
Pardon our appearance whist we remodel,
pull the engine, and change the tires.

This template can be used when more than one English language sister projects has a similar template. If the templates have different names on different projects you can use parameters to specify those names:

  • mta=template name at Meta-wiki
  • wpd=template name at English Wikipedia
  • cms=template name at Commons
  • wbk=template name at English Wikibooks
  • wqt=template name at English Wikiquote
  • wsr=template name at English Wikisource
  • wdy=template name at English Wikitionary
  • wnw=template name at English Wikinews
  • wsp=template name at English Wikispecies
  • wvr=template name at English Wikiversity
  • mdw=template name at Media-wiki
Passing an empty parameter will cause the item to be omitted from the list.

Example:

{{Template:Interwikitmp-grp
|meta=
|wq=
|wn=foo
}}

This produces a box with the Meta and Wikiquote rows ommitted, and the "Template:foo" linked to in the Wikinews row.

General usage

deasaich
This is usage for the nine+ 'interwiki template linking' and the various (8) interwikitmp-grpX 'auto-categorization' and template tagging and linking utilities.
  1. Each individual sister template ends with the suffix 'tmp' and start with the menemonic name of the sister, sometimes in abbreviated or CamelCase text form. (e.g. WikiPtmp, WikiNews, WikiSpecies are all CamelBack, whilst WikiPtmp is also an abbreviation.
  2. Each of the interwikitmp-grpX templates differ mainly in the categorization they perform and slight differences in usage text they present (interwikitmp-grpD, where 'D' is for documentation).
  3. Each number suffixed version differs in the mix of categories which they autotag for uniform categorization across the English language sister projects. This aids people by having common tools in common places that perform the same common way.
  4. Foreign language adaptations of this system are encouraged, but beyond the scope of this project. Copy the pages, and translate the usage, and you should be in good shape.

Exceptions table (Revised concept)

deasaich
TABLE II - Exceptions handling... When a name is already used differently in a local sister project
Tag with {{Interwikitmp-grp exception}}— denotes and tags a This name in use conflict Exception— Thus this name is not available on all sister's for the same function as used for something else on another sister project.


:Autocategory: Roinn-seòrsa:Interwiki name difference other sister project

Procedure:

  1. It should not need said, but check to see how widely a 'deviant template' is used. If its use is slight, it may be easiest to 'cure the deviation' by substituting another template name on the given sister project.
  2. Tag the generic (or 'common template', the one to be the most widespread as a name on most sister projects before porting it) with Template:Interwikitmp-grp exception (edit talk links history) which compliments the below template and autocategorizes, plus asserts a status message box.
  3. Consider whether the incompatible template makes a good utility for export to other sister projects
         (Some may exist as minor or essentially identical variations of other universal template names. If so, don't alias such. One is enough!)
  4. Other tagging in the 'common template' must be manual inserting the array in {{Interwikitmp-grp}} and changing the appropriate arguments for the chosen aliased name in the sister(s) linking template with the name collision.
  5. Tag with the common category/(ies) extant in {{Interwikitmp-grp}}, or other such case as fits best to the groupings delineated in TABLE I above.
  6. Proceed as below on that sister which has the template deviation, and any others with incompatible templates.
On the flip-side:
In general
Use Template:Interwikitmp-grp ineligible (edit talk links history) to tag the local name exceptions.
Both the above exceptions templates take the 'work around' (alias) name for self documentation of the anomaly. That name should be provided the master template copy being aliased on the sister(s) with the name conflict in their normal template set.

Associated Autocategory:

Roinn-seòrsa:Interwiki templates varying on other sister projects, provided by the correct tagging.
The replacement template 'alias' (providing name-to-function mapping) must be universally available on all sister's, and tagged normally and copied to same with the appropriate Interwikitmp-grp##. If the Sister(s) with a template name conflict have that name as a useful general purpose utility or tool template, that name should also be aliased and distributed.
Examples of name remapping':
  1. e.g Tl-->TL, Cat-->CAT, etc., Using a case-of-name alternative.
  2. e.g. 'S'/'s' --> '{{SP}}', 'W'/'w' ---> '{{w2}}', etc., all examples of Suffix alternatives
  3. e.g. '{{c}}'/'c' --> '{{w2c}}', (the commons), a special case to maintain similar syntax with 'W2' for Wikipedia, and 'Wd' for Wiktionary (Wiki-Dictionary) and 'Wb' for Wikibooks, etc., all part of a family of user friendly utility templates that pipetrick and display nicely, yet allow an edit change of a one or two letter(s) to redirect the mnemonic link name to another sister project.
Any universal name 'alias' should either duplicate the original source template (preferred) or redirect to it on all sister's capable of having both name variations.
