قالب:Year in Asia/doc

This is a navbox template intended for "Year in country" articles for Asian countries. Based on the input year, it contains all countries in Asia in that year, linked to the respective "Year in country" article, if that doesn't exist the "Decade in country" article, and if that doesn't exist either the "History of country" article.

This template is based on {{Year in Europe}} and therefore uses mostly the same parameters. The template may not yet contain all former countries, though the goal is to make it accurate for all years after 1000.

 Parameters

• {{{1}}} (first unnamed parameter): The year (required; if unspecified or not numeric an error message is given)
• {{{title}}}: A custom title (default: "<year> in Asia", linked if an article with that name exists)
• {{{state}}}: "expanded", "collapsed" or "autocollapse" (see {{collapsible option}})

Furthermore, the link to each country can be individually set using the following parameter names. If set to nothing it omits the country entirely. These parameters also work if a country is omitted by default because it didn't exist in the given year.

Current countries (ISO 3166-1 codes) AF – Afghanistan AM – Armenia AZ – Azerbaijan BH – Bahrain (also as British colony) BD – Bangladesh BT – Bhutan BN – Brunei MM – Burma (Myanmar) KH – Cambodia CN – China CY – Cyprus (also as British colony) TL – East Timor (Timor-Leste) EG – Egypt GE – Georgia IN – India ID – Indonesia IR – Iran IQ – Iraq IL – Israel JP – Japan JO – Jordan KZ – Kazakhstan KP – North Korea KR – South Korea KW – Kuwait KG – Kyrgyzstan LA – Laos LB – Lebanon MY – Malaysia MV – Maldives MN – Mongolia (also as unrecognised country) NP – Nepal OM – Oman PK – Pakistan PH – Philippines QA – Qatar RU – Russia SA – Saudi Arabia SQ – Singapore LK – Sri Lanka SY – Syria TJ – Tajikistan TH – Thailand TR – Turkey TM – Turkmenistan AE – United Arab Emirates UZ – Uzbekistan VN – Vietnam YE – Yemen (also for North Yemen)

Current dependencies (ISO 3166-1 codes) IO – British Indian Ocean Territory CX – Christmas Island CC – Cocos (Keeling) Islands HK – Hong Kong MO – Macau States with limited recognition (ISO 3166-1 user-assigned codes) XAB – Abkhazia XNK – Nagorno-Karabakh XNC – Northern Cyprus PS – Palestine XSO – South Ossetia TW – Taiwan (also as recognised country) Former countries (ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-3 codes) SKM – Sikkim SU – Soviet Union VD – North Vietnam YMD – South Yemen Former countries (ISO 3166-1 user-assigned codes) XMA – British Malaya XIN – British Raj XBY – Byzantine Empire XLK – Ceylon (changed to Sri Lanka) XGB – Colony of Aden XNL – Dutch East Indies XFN – French India XFI – French Indochina XKR – Korea XMY – Malaya (changed to Malaysia) XIQ – Mandatory Iraq XPS – Mandatory Palestine XSY – Mandatory Syria XMN – Mongol Empire XOT – Ottoman Empire XCN – Tibet XJO – Transjordan XVN – South Vietnam

It's technically possible to input non-integer years like 1976.5, but that wouldn't make much sense, and year articles are not likely to exist for such years.

 Examples

{{Year in Asia|2000}} →

Example with custom title and links:

{{Year in Asia|2000|title=Title|ID=Custom link for Indonesia}} →

Note the (red) custom link for Indonesia.

 Code for adding countries

* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|Years|name=Country name}}

where "Code" is a unique country-specific parameter name, "Years" is a series of years identifying periods of existence of a country (see below), and "Country name" is the country name that should be used for links. If the short-form name that should be displayed is different (for example "Georgia (country)" vs. "Georgia"), the parameter |disp=display name should be added; for countries whose names require the article "the" the parameter |the=the is available. The sub-template {{Year in Asia/expr}} automatically compares the input year with the year criteria and creates the link.

"Years" is a series of up to six unnamed parameters where each pair of two identifies a time period in which the country existed. Omit either for an unbounded interval (since the first year or until the second year). Some examples:

Code	Interval	Country included in years
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300)	1100–1300
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|1500|1700|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300), [1500, 1700)	1100–1300 and 1500–1700
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|name=Name}}	[1100, +∞)	since 1100
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}||1300|name=Name}}	(−∞, 1300)	until 1300
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|1100|1300|1500|name=Name}}	[1100, 1300), [1500, +∞)	from 1100 until 1300 and after 1500
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}||1100|1300|name=Name}}	(−∞, 1100), [1300, +∞)	before 1100 and after 1300
* {{Year in Asia/expr|{{{1}}}|{{{Code|♦}}}|name=Name}}	(−∞, +∞)	always

By design, each interval includes the left endpoint and excludes the right endpoint. A country with the coding from the first example would therefore be listed if the input year is 1100, but not if the input year is 1300.

 Limits

This template uses two قالب:Parser parser functions for each included country. Because {{#ifexist}} is an expensive parser function, only 500 of these may be used on a given page (see Wikipedia:Template limits). Depending on the number of countries in the given year, this template can therefore be transcluded only a few times on the same page, and if a page already uses a lot of expensive parser functions, adding it may cause the page to be automatically added to Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls.
