Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Displays standardized category navigation for occupations and nationalities, required by Wikipedia:Category names#Occupation.

This template should be avoided on categories not diffused by nationality, e.g. Arab, Bengali, Carniolan, Guadeloupean fooers. Note that geographic categories should in general use the People from Foo format, as required by Wikipedia:Category names#Residence.

Examples

Example from Category:American writers:

{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Writers |Nationality=American |Country=United States}}

Supercategory

The Supercategory parameter allows another category to be added between the "nationality people by occupation" and this occupation category. This for occupations which are a subset of another ocupation.

Example from Category:American diarists:

{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Diarists |Supercategory=Writers |Nationality=American |Country=United States}}

Example from Category:Irish autobiographers:

{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Autobiographers |Nationality=Irish | Country=Ireland |Supercategory=Biographers}}

Example from Category:German civil engineers:

{{Fooian fooers |Profession=civil engineers |Nationality=German |Country=Germany |Supercategory=engineers}}

Supercategory2

The Supercategory2 parameter is for use when an occupation is an intersection of two other occupations.

Example from Category:British film score composers:

{{fooian fooers |Profession=Film score composers |Nationality=British |Supercategory=film people |Supercategory2=composers |Country=United Kingdom}}

Example from Category:Irish magazine editors:

{{Fooian fooers |Profession=magazine editors |Nationality=Irish |Country=Ireland |Supercategory=editors |Supercategory2=magazine people}}

Modifications

In most cases, should not be substituted.

Please note that this template needs to be modified for some categories. Some nationalities are listed as "People from Foo" instead of "Fooian". One such case is Northern Ireland, for which there is a specialised template {{Fooers from Northern Ireland}}. Other cases such as People from Georgia (country) should use {{Fooers from Boo}}.

The template is also able to resolve redirects where required. The profession usually has to be converted to lowercase when used after a nationality, but this generates an incorrect parent for cases that require a capital letter; e.g. the template on Category:Scottish Shakespearean actors generates lowercase Category:British shakespearean actors for the parent nationality. The easiest workaround is to place a category redirect page at Category:British shakespearean actors, and then the template resolves this to the correct target Category:British Shakespearean actors.

In other instances, the template may be substituted and edited in place.
