|
| |
| == Guideline Address ==
| |
| The guideline is defined by an address.
| |
| For indexing purposes, the address may consist of different levels, separated with slashes (/).
| |
| For further explanation, I'll call this the <address>
| |
| Roads/Country
| |
|
| |
| == Guideline Region ==
| |
| The Region of the guideline is where the guideline is applied.
| |
| Examples of regions:
| |
| Benelux
| |
| Belgium
| |
| USA
| |
| ...
| |
|
| |
| There is one special Region that defines the default or general guideline.
| |
| The name of this Special Region still needs to be defined.
| |
| For further explanation, I'll call this special region <Default> but a more self explaining name should be chosen:
| |
| Some examples:
| |
| Default
| |
| General
| |
| Guideline
| |
| International
| |
| World
| |
| Global
| |
| <empty>
| |
| ...
| |
|
| |
| Once a name is chosen, it will be a lot of work to change it.
| |
|
| |
| == How it should work ==
| |
| <nowiki>{{ guideline | <address> }}</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| The guideline works out on which page it is transcluded.
| |
| From the page name it will derive the base page name as the region where it is used.
| |
| For further explanation, I'll call this as <region>
| |
| Benelux/Roads/anothersubpage
| |
| -> <Region> is Benelux
| |
|
| |
| The template will try to find the following pages:
| |
| [[<Region>/<address>]]
| |
| [[<Default>/<address>]]
| |
| If a page is empty (Blanked), the page is considered as not found.
| |
|
| |
| If there is only the Default page (witch should occurs in most of the time), the content of the <Default>/<address> page is transcluded.
| |
|
| |
| If you want to overwrite the guideline, the page <Region>/<address> is created (contains content). In this case, the content of the <Default>/<address> page is transcluded in small print and with strike through. Followed by the content of the <Region>/<address> page.
| |
|
| |
| A method of adding content to a guideline is not yet determined.
| |
| A possible method could be transcluding the <Default>/<address> page on to the <Region>/<address> page.
| |
| If this could be detected, it is potentialy the best solution. If not, this will result in the content of the <Default>/<address> page being placed first strike through and then as normal.
| |
|
| |
| == Where is this templated used ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| This template is used on general pages about a <Subject> like roads / highways / Landmarks ...
| |
|
| |
| This pages are located under <Default>/<Subject> and make use of the Template:Guideline.
| |
|
| |
| Regions can then import these paged by creating a page called:
| |
| <Region>/<Subject> and the content will be transcluding the <Default>/<Subject> page.
| |
| content of page <Region>/<Subject>:
| |
| <nowiki>{{:<Default>/<address>}}</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| This results in an immediate update on the region pages if the default page is updated so regions will be up to date when new guidelines are added.
