Documentation Sub-page for Template:Cat_StateFreq

Scope of Use

Purpose

  • Template:Cat_StateFreq should be used to build frequency-related category-pages for individual Countries, US States, Territories, etc. and Canadian Provinces.
  • Template:Cat_StateFreq is designed to be a category-template that provides a common and uniform structure for both the text that is displayed on, and the categories assigned to, specific frequency-related "state"-level categories.

Directly Invoked By

Not Intended For

  • Template:Cat_StateFreq should not be directly invoked by any other template or category, including state-specific frequency-related sub-categories below a primary "state"-level frequency-related category; nor by the top frequencies-related category within a particular theme (e.g. not invoked by "Category:Medical Frequencies").

Parameters

  • Specified values will override default values.
  • Specified values and Default values are all case-sensitive.
Parameter Name Var Description Expected Value(s) Default Value Notes
State A value is Required
FreqParent name of the parent "...Frequencies" category
(omit the word "Frequencies")
Wiki The word "Frequencies" is already present in the template and should not be included in the FreqParent value.
MoreText (no value) This parameter allows for an optional custom message in the page's mid-section. When no value is specified, the parameter name is hidden.

Examples

  • The horizontal lines below separate examples for clarity and do not appear when template is invoked.
