This is a documentation subpage for Template:Ethnologue18.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Shortcut

{{E18}}

Template:Ethnologue18 is designed for use in the reference section of a language article. It links to the appropriate article at Ethnologue, 18th edition.

Usage

One parameter: Replace xyz with the ISO 639-3 code for the language. The page name will be used as the link text; {{Ethnologue18|xyz}}; {{E18|xyz}}

Two parameters: Replace ABC with the link text to be displayed. This may be useful if the Ethnologue name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article.; {{Ethnologue18|xyz|ABC}}; {{E18|xyz|ABC}}

No parameters: The template will revert to a generic citation and link to Ethnologue; {{Ethnologue18}}; {{E18}}

Examples

One parameter: {{Ethnologue18|eng}}; Ethnologue18/doc at Ethnologue (18th ed., 2015) (subscription required)

Two parameters: {{Ethnologue18|eng|English}}; English at Ethnologue (18th ed., 2015) (subscription required)

No parameters: {{Ethnologue18}}; Lewis, M. Paul; Gary F. Simons; Charles D. Fennig, eds. (2015). Ethnologue: Languages of the World (18th ed.). Dallas, Texas: SIL International.

Note

For a reference to the Ethnologue population figures, enter "e18" in the ref parameter of {{Infobox language}}. This will automatically generate a reference based on this template, and is easier for other editors to update.

+== Usage ==
-Replace <code>xyz</code> with the [[ISO 639-3]] code for the language. A second, optional parameter is accepted:
+; One parameter
+: Replace <code>xyz</code> with the [[ISO 639-3]] code for the language. The page name will be used as the [[link text]]
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|xyz}}
+: {{tld|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}|xyz}}
+; Two parameters
-<pre>
+: Replace <code>ABC</code> with the link text to be displayed. This may be useful if the ''Ethnologue'' name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article.
-{{Ethnologue18|xyz|ABC}}</pre>
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|xyz|ABC}}
+: {{tld|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}|xyz|ABC}}
+; No parameters
-Replace <code>ABC</code> with wording for the template to display, thus:
+: The template will revert to a generic citation and link to ''Ethnologue''
-: {{tld|Ethnologue18|eng|English}}
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
-: {{Ethnologue18|eng|English}}
+: {{tld|E{{str right|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|10}}}}
-If this parameter is omitted, the page name will be used, thus:
-: {{tld|Ethnologue18|eng}}
-: {{Ethnologue18|eng}}
+== Examples ==
-Specifying the wording may be useful if the ''Ethnologue'' name differs from the page name of the Wikipedia article. If no parameter is supplied, the template will revert to a generic citation and link to ''Ethnologue'', though a pipe is still required, thus:
+; One parameter
-: {{tld|Ethnologue18}}
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng}}
-: {{Ethnologue18}}
+: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng}}
+; Two parameters
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng|English}}
+: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|eng|English}}
+; No parameters
+: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
+: {{ {{BASEPAGENAME}} }}
