Template:Inflation/fn

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

Provides standard article footnotes for documenting the source of the inflated prices calculated by {{Inflation}}.

Usage

 {{Inflation/fn}}
 {{Inflation/fn|index}}
 {{Inflation/fn|index|group=groupname}}

When the index parameter is provided, a footnote about that specific data set is generated. The index codes are the same as those used by {{Inflation}}:

• {{Inflation/fn|AU}} =
  • {{Inflation/fn|AU-road}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|BD}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|CA}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|DE}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|IN}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|IR}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|JP}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|KRW}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|PH}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|PK}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|UK}} =
  • {{Inflation/fn|UK-GDP}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|US}} =
  • {{Inflation/fn|US-GDP}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|ZAR}} =

When no index parameter is provided, or when an invalid index is provided, a generic footnote is generated with an error:

• {{Inflation/fn}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|xyz}} =

This is the reference list generated by the above examples:

Anchor names produced are based on the index parameter, or its lack thereof. As a result, the same {{Inflation/fn|index}} code can be used many times in the same article while generating only one actual footnote per index code.

Reference grouping

If it is desired to place the footnote into a reference group other than the default, the |group= parameter may be used:

• {{Inflation/fn|UK|group=nb}} =

NB to group the footnote with other footnotes rather than references, ({{notelist}}), use |group=lower-alpha

See the related section at {{Inflation}} for additional instructions and examples.

Date format

Where the country is either CA or US, the generated reference includes the retrieval date of the data, which is shown in month-first (MDY) format. For US only, this may be altered to day-first (DMY) format by adding |df=yes. This must be done each time the template is called in an article, or there will be an error message in the reference list.

• {{Inflation/fn|US|df=yes}} =

Citation format

The citations for several indexes use {{cite web}} as a base template. This means the footnotes are output using Citation Style 1 (CS1) as a default. One (IN) uses {{citation}} as a base template, resulting in Citation Style 2 (CS2) as a default. To switch between these, use |mode=cs1 or |mode=cs2 as appropriate. This must be done each time the template is called in an article, or there will be an error message in the reference list.

• {{Inflation/fn|US|mode=cs2}} =
• {{Inflation/fn|IN|mode=cs1}} =

Name list styles

This template supports |name-list-style= to promote consistency with other citations in an article.

• {{Inflation/fn|US-GDP|name-list-style=amp}} =
