Template:AllIrelandByCountyCatNav/doc

From blackwiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A category navigation template, designed to be used on by-county categories for any of the 32 "traditional" Counties of Ireland, plus the new counties created by the 1992 subdivision of County Dublin: Category:Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Category:Fingal, Category:South Dublin (county).

It creates a navbox with links to identically-named categories for other counties.

So, on Category:History of County Kilkenny, it creates links to Category:History of County Antrim, Category:History of County Armagh etc.

Non-existent categories are not linked. Instead, they are listed in grey.

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are grouped separately. When the template is used on a category for a county in Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland counties are listed first. When used on a category for a county in the Republic, the Republic is displayed first.

Development

This template started off as a proposal at WP:WikiProject Ireland/CatNavProposal. The idea was refined through discussion at WT:WikiProject Ireland/CatNavProposal, and deployed in May 2018 after a 15-day trial on 150 pages.
