wikipedia>Tom.Reding: |align= -> |position= to match the other commons templates

2021-09-19T13:11:52Z

|align= -> |position= to match the other commons templates

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{Message box |id = |halign = |malign = |backgroundcolor = |image =Gnome-mime-text-x-credits.svg|30px |heading = |message =Note how misspelled words seem to be valid links to Wikimedia. Check spelling carefully.}}
{{tsh|Ccatm}}

==Usage==
This template is similar to {{tl|Commons category}} but shows 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 categories, and allows changing width or floating the box to the left.

:: Usage: <code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | position=left | width=20em}}</nowiki></code>
:: Usage: <code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | topic3}}</nowiki></code>
:: Usage: <code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | topic1 | topic2 | topic3 | topic4}}</nowiki></code>
:: Usage: <code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | topic1 | t2 | t3 | t4 | t5 | t6}}</nowiki></code>

The template will state "[[Wikimedia Commons]] has media related to (category):..." and then display the first 2 topic names in bold/italics as "'''''topic1''''' or '''''topic2'''''" (as links). The optional topics 3 or 4 would be on the next line ("or '''''topic3''''' or '''''topic4'''''"). Optional topics 5 and 6 would be on a third line.

The optional {{para|position|left}} shifts the box to the left margin. The template is on the right margin by default.

{{Para|delimiter}} specifies which delimiter is used to separate each entry. Be careful, as this parameter accepts wikicode as well. So, to specify semicolon (;) as the delimiter ([[H:DL|which is the Wikicode for definition list]]), use <nowiki>{{;}}</nowiki> instead. Because the leading and trailing spaces are ignored, use &#32; to indicate space.

Note that the topic names should exist as category names in Wikimedia Commons (edited using a Wikimedia login name).

==Examples==
The following examples show the results of the template uasge.

{|
|<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver}}</nowiki></code>
|-
|{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver}}

|This example shows the use of {{para|position|left}}

<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Red | Pale Green | position=left}}</nowiki></code>
|-
|{{Commons category multi | Red | Pale Green | position=left}}
|-
|<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Los Angeles | New York}}</nowiki></code>
|-
|{{Commons category multi | Los Angeles | New York}}

|-
|{{Commons category multi | Les Angles | Now York}}
|-
|<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Ludwig van Beethoven | Richard Strauss}}</nowiki></code>

|{{Commons category multi | Ludwig van Beethoven | Richard Strauss}}
|-
|<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver | Bronze}}</nowiki></code>
|-
|{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver | Bronze}}
|-
|<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Iron}}</nowiki></code>
|-
|{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Iron}}

|This example shows the use of delimiters. See "Usage" section above for explanation.

<code><nowiki>{{Commons category multi | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Iron | Copper | Brass |delimiter={{;}}&#32;}}</nowiki></code>
