ഫലകം:Geological range/linked

ഫലകത്തിന്റെ വിവരണം

Purpose

This template simplifies the task of creating a geological range (as per {{Geological range}}) based on one or two named geological periods when you want the period names to be wiki-linked.

It does not have the flexibility of the full {{Geological range}} template, which should always be used to create a geological range in any other way (e.g. based on numerical dates, or with an extended range).

Usage

There are two ways of using the template:

• {{Geological range/linked|period name|ref=reference (optional)}}
• {{Geological range/linked|first period name|second period name|ref=reference (optional)}}.

Examples:

• {{Geological range/linked|Silurian}} produces:

]T2in=Silurian•{{{2}}}•{{{3}}}••0[ ]T3in=Silurian|||[ Silurian

• {{Geological range/linked|Silurian|Early Permian}} produces:

]T2in=Silurian•Early Permian•{{{3}}}••0[ ]T3in=Silurian|Early Permian||[ Silurian Early Permian ++

• {{Geological range/linked|Middle Devonian|ref=<ref>Dummy reference</ref>}} produces:

]T2in=Middle Devonian•{{{2}}}•{{{3}}}••0[ ]T3in=Middle Devonian|||[ Middle Devonian

Note that this template does not provide any of the other parameters of {{Geological range}}.

Errors

If you have specified the parameters correctly and this template generates an error, it is likely to be because the period is missing from {{next period}} or {{period start}}. Please go ahead and add it in the appropriate place (once you've checked your spelling!).

You also need to add the period to {{period start error}} so that other templates which display geological dates, such as {{period span}} will work properly with this new period name.

Sources

For documentation on the sources of the dates and other information, see Template:Period start.
