DePiep moved page Template:Births and deaths ToC/doc to Template:Births and deaths TOC/doc

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{template shortcut|BD ToC}}
This template is intended for use on the births and deaths sections of articles on specific years, e.g. [[2014]]. Ideally, it should only be added at the end of the given year.

== Usage ==
<pre>
{{Births and deaths ToC
|births/deaths
|title=
|months=
|unknown=
|section=
|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12
|section1=
...
|section12=
|sectionu=
}}
</pre>

===Births/deaths===
The "''births/deaths''" section shows the ToC's title as "Births" or "Deaths" and adds the number 2 (births) or 3 (deaths) to the section titles in the links. This is because "Births" and "Deaths" are usually the second and third sections respectively in year articles, and leaving month titles without these numbers would direct users to months in the "Events" section.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|births}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|births}}

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths}}

===<nowiki>{{{months}}}</nowiki>===
The {{para|months}} parameter specifies the number of months to show or the limit of months shown on the template. For example, {{para|months|9}} would only show the months of January to September.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|births|months=9}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|births|months=9}}

===<nowiki>{{{unknown}}}</nowiki>===
The {{para|unknown}} parameter adds a section called "Date unknown" to the list for people with unknown dates of birth included in the article.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths|unknown=yes}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths|unknown=yes}}

===Sections===
In the event of a case where months have [[#Custom titles|custom titles]] in either section, the {{para|section}} parameter can be used to specify the given number used in the months' titles.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths|section=2}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|deaths|section=2}}

Sometimes, a certain month section or a "Date unknown" section may have already been included more than twice or thrice. The individual {{para|section[n]}} and the {{para|sectionu}} (unknown section) parameters can be used to specify the given number used in these specific months' titles.

In the example below, August in the "Births" section would be the third such August section in the given year article, and the "Date unknown" section would be the second such section in the given year article.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|births|unknown=yes|section8=3|sectionu=2}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|births|unknown=yes|section8=3|sectionu=2}}

===Custom titles===
The numbers 1–12 in the syntax above represent custom titles that can be inserted instead of January–December if the article contains custom month titles.

<code><nowiki>{{Births and deaths ToC|births|January–March|April–June|July–September|October–December}}</nowiki></code>
{{Births and deaths ToC|births|January–March|April–June|July–September|October–December}}
