Template:MC/English variant abbreviation

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible) [view] [edit] [history] [refresh]

Template:Documentation header Template:Shortcut This template generates short names for English language variants (British English, American English, Australian English etc.), with an explanatory tooltip that shows the full name of the variant when the user hovers over it with the mouse cursor. It is primatily intended to be used in the "Other names" section in infoboxes for blocks, items, biomes, enchantments and more.

Usage

Anonymous parameters

The template takes an unlimited amount of unnamed parameters, each representing an English language variant. However, only the values listed in the "Known parameters" table below will have a tooltip generated for them. All other values will have the tooltip set to <unknown>.

Note that these values are not case-sensitive, unless the noupper parameter is set (see the "Named parameters" section below). For example, gb has the same meaning as GB.

Known parameters
Parameter	English variant	Output
`AU`	Australian English	Template:English variant abbreviation
`CA`	Canadian English	Template:English variant abbreviation
`GB` or `UK`	British English	Template:English variant abbreviation or Template:English variant abbreviation
`NZ`	New Zealand English	Template:English variant abbreviation
`US`	American English	Template:English variant abbreviation

Named parameters

The template also takes the following named parameters. These parameters are case-sensitive.

Named parameters
Parameter	Description
`noupper`	By default, this template converts all of the provided values to be uppercase. If this parameter is set, the values will not be converted to uppercase. Example: Template:Tl generates Template:English variant abbreviation instead of Template:English variant abbreviation.
`nowrap`	If this parameter is set, the generated text will not wrap into multiple lines under any circumstances. Equivalent to: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Template:...</syntaxhighlight>
`small`	If this parameter is set, the template will use a smaller font size. Example: Template:English variant abbreviation → Template:English variant abbreviation
`noparen`	If this parameter is set, the template will not add parentheses to the text. Example: Template:English variant abbreviation → Template:English variant abbreviation
`nocomma`	If this parameter is set, the template will not add commas between multiple variant codes. This parameter is only effective if at least two variant codes are provided. Example: Template:English variant abbreviation → Template:English variant abbreviation
