Additional documentation for Template:Europe topic

Enabling links for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales

In some topics, the constituent countries of the United Kingdom are treated as national entities in their own right. To enable their inclusion in a template, set the parameter |UK_only= to "no", "n" or "0" (zero). This will put links for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in brackets after the UK.

Code {{Europe topic|prefix=Motorways in|state=expanded|UK_only=no}}:

Result

To enable only some of the constituent countries, their respective parameters ENG, NIR, SCT and WLS (see below) can be used. Set any of them to "yes", "y" or "1" to use the default link as defined by the prefix and suffix, and to anything else (except "no"/"n"/"0") to link to a specific article. For example:

  • {{Europe topic|Motorways in|ENG=yes}} to add England and link it to Motorways in England, and
  • {{Europe topic|Motorways in|ENG=Highways in England}} to add England and link it to Highways in England.

If |UK_only= is defined, these four parameters always link to the specified article, so {{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|ENG=yes}} creates a link to the disambiguation page Yes. Like with other countries (see below), these parameters can also be used to omit some of the constituent countries by setting them to nothing or whitespace only:

  • {{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|WLS=}} to add England, Scotland and Northern Ireland only (all except Wales);
  • {{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|SCT=|NIR=}} to add England and Wales only (equivalent to {{Europe topic|Foo in|ENG=yes|WLS=yes}}).

Removing the article "the"

By default all links include the article "the" for countries like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In some cases this is not wanted. To remove the leading article, set the parameter |article= to anything except "yes":

Code {{Europe topic|suffix=Ministry of Transport|title=Ministries of Transport of Europe|article=no|state=expanded}}

Result

Note that {{Europe topic}}, together with {{Asia topic}}, is the only continent-topic template to have an "article" parameter. In most other templates "the" is automatically included if there is no suffix and cannot be manually added or suppressed.

Suppressing "(country)" for Georgia

By default, the link for Georgia includes the disambiguator "(country)". Set the parameter |template= to anything except "yes" to suppress this:

Code {{Europe topic|suffix=Ministry of Transport|title=Ministries of Transport of Europe|article=no|template=no|state=expanded}}

Result

Disabling links for "other entities"

If some topic is inapplicable to the European Union, the European Economic Area or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, they can be removed from the list by the addition of the parameter |no_other_entities=yes. Additionally there is a rough check for existence of the particular EU/EEA/SMOM article and if there isn't such - the entity with a missing article is automatically not shown in the template (see Vatican City explanation below).

Code {{Europe topic|prefix=List of motorways in|state=expanded|no_other_entities=yes}}

Result

Additionally, if some template is applicable to only one of these three entities, the redundant entity can be removed by adding the corresponding parameter as shown below:

  • {{Europe topic|prefix=List of motorways in|state=expanded|no_EU=yes}}
  • {{Europe topic|prefix=List of motorways in|state=expanded|no_EEA=yes}}
  • {{Europe topic|prefix=List of motorways in|state=expanded|no_SMOM=yes}}

Vatican City

As the Vatican is such a small country, with 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) and 826 inhabitants, many articles about it would be meaningless; for example, "Motorways in the Vatican City". So the condition for the Vatican to appear in any template created using this one is the preexistence of the article about the Vatican. That is why the Vatican City doesn't appear on many templates.
