 | This template is used on approximately 9,100 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Purpose
changeThis template is intended to be used on year in US state categories (for example, Category:2008 in Arizona or Category:1938 in South Carolina). It creates a "timeline" style table of links to categories for adjacent years before or after it in the same decade (see example below).
Syntax
change{{Year in US state category}}
No parameters are needed, and none are available
Error-checking
changeThe template checks that the page:
- is a category
- has a title of the form "YYYY in Foo"
If either of those conditions is not met, an error message is displayed and no other output is generated, but the page is added to a tracking category:
- Category:Template Year in US state category on invalid page (population: 0) Purge page to update totals
