Documentation Sub-page for Template:Text_CatStateOther
Scope of Use
Purpose
- Template:Text_CatStateOther is designed to be a "text"-template which:
- functions as the base upon which individual categories, and simpler categories-templates (that are related to RRDB entries) are built.
- This creates a standardized presentation-style for the text displayed on all individual categories and all category-templates. Exceptions should be few.
- naturally applies to state-, county-, and country-based categories
- is also intended to be used to create categories that are not state-, county-, or country-based, such as top-level theme-based categories.
- functions as the base upon which individual categories, and simpler categories-templates (that are related to RRDB entries) are built.
- (Please use Template:Text_CatStateOtherFreq for "...Frequencies" related templates and categories.)
- (Please use Template:Text_CatStateOtherNonRRDB for templates and categories that are not related to RRDB entries.)
Directly Invoked By
- Template:Text_CatStateOther should be directly invoked only by
- simpler categories-templates, that are related to RRDB entries, or
- top-level theme-based categories, that are related to RRDB entries, or
- individual categories, that are related to RRDB entries, for which a simpler categories-template does not exist.
Not Intended For
- Template:Text_CatStateOther should not be directly invoked by anything other than "categories" pages, or simpler "categories"-templates, that are related to RRDB entries.
- (Please use Template:Text_CatStateOtherFreq for "...Frequencies" related templates and categories.)
- (Please use Template:Text_CatStateOtherNonRRDB for templates and categories that are not related to RRDB entries.)
Parameters
- Specified values will override default values.
- Specified values, Default values, and Parameter names are all case-sensitive.
- Please Note:
- For consistency and convenience, the parameter-names in the list below have been chosen to closely match the parameter-names used in Template:Text_CatStateOtherFreq and Template:Text_CatStateOtherNonRRDB.
- If parameter-names must be added or changed, please make the appropriate corresponding changes to Template:Text_CatStateOtherFreq and Template:Text_CatStateOtherNonRRDB also. Please also update the related documentation pages, including Template:Text_CatStateOther/doc/Compare

How To...
- The horizontal lines below separate examples for clarity and do not appear when template is invoked.
How to invoke this template for a simpler (state) TEMPLATE
- Template_CatStateFreq is an example of a simpler category-template that is used to build state-level, district-level, province-level, or country-level, categories:
{{Text_CatStateOther|
State={{{State}}}|
Other={{{FreqParent|Wiki}}}|
HideOtherInTitle=|
MoreText={{{MoreText|}}}|
HideParent4=|
HideParent5=|
HideParent6=|
HideParent7=}}
Result
- See Template:Cat_State for the actual category-template.
How to invoke this template for a simpler US (Agency) in (State) TEMPLATE
- Template:Cat_USFedInState is an example of a simpler category-template that is used to build (US Federal Government) agency-level categories:
{{Text_CatStateOther|
OtherInState=US {{{Agency}}} in {{{State}}}|
Other={{{Agency}}}|
State={{{State}}}|
Other2=US {{{Agency}}}|
Parent4=US {{{Agency}}} in {{{State}}}|
HideParent5=|
HideParent6=|
HideParent7=}}
Result
- See Template:Cat_USFedInState for the actual category-template.
How to invoke this template for a simpler United States (MilBranch) in (State) TEMPLATE
- Template:Cat_USMilInState is an example of a simpler category-template that is used to build (United States Military) Branch-level categories:
{{Text_CatStateOther|
OtherInState=United States {{{MilBranch}}} in {{{State}}}|
Other={{{MilBranch}}}|
State={{{State}}}|
Other2=United States {{{MilBranch}}}|
Parent4=United States {{{MilBranch}}} in {{{State}}}|
HideParent5=|
HideParent6=|
HideParent7=}}
Result
- See Template:Cat_USMilInState for the actual category-template.
How to invoke this template for a (theme) CATEGORY
- Category:Air_National_Guard is an example of a Theme-level category:
{{Text_CatStateOther|
State=Air National Guard|
Other=United States Air Force|
HideOtherInTitle=|
Parent4=Military Aviation|
HideParent5=|
HideParent6=|
HideParent7=|}}
Result
- See Category:Air_National_Guard for the actual category.
How to avoid common error(s) while invoking this template
- Purpose: To avoid unintended spaces in parameter-values
- Technique: Place the vertical bar at end of parameter-value, not at left-margin.
- Purpose: To correctly assign no-value to a parameter
- Technique: Place the vertical bar at end of parameter-value, not at left-margin.
- Purpose: To avoid confusion with template's closing braces
- Technique: Put "Hide..." parameters at end of template-call to help ensure the closing braces are used and not confused with the value of another parameter.
- Example: Category:Air_National_Guard
- The following template-code is correct, because
- The vertical-bar ends immediately after each parameter-value, or immediately after an equal-sign thereby indicating "no value":
- The template's closing pair of braces immediately follows the last parameter-value and is not on a separate line where it could become confusing and orphaned or even deleted during later editing.
- The "HideParent..." parameters are placed at the end and immediately followed by the template's closing braces. This becomes more apparent when using parameters "Articles" and "MoreText".
{{Text_CatStateOther|
State=Air National Guard|
Other=United States Air Force|
HideOtherInTitle=|
Parent4=Military Aviation Frequencies|
HideParent5=|
HideParent6=|
HideParent7=}}
- The following template-code is not correct, because it introduces unintended spaces and risks the closing braces becoming orphaned, lost, or deleted during later editing, especially if values are assigned later to parameters "Articles" and/or "MoreText":
{{Text_CatStateOther
|State=Air National Guard
|Other=United States Air Force
|HideOtherInTitle=
|Parent4=Military Aviation Frequencies
|HideParent5=
|HideParent6=
|HideParent7=
}}
