Template:Be

Беларуская: abc

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:internationalization template doc.

Adds "

Беларуская:

" in front of the text written in Belarusian. Also adds machine-readable tags identifying the text as being written in Belarusian.

The template automatically sets the following categories:

• Category:Language templates with no text displayed (if parameter #1 is empty)

Usage

{{be |1= }}

Template parameters

Parameter	Description		Default	Status
1	text	Text to be displayed. Please prepend "1=" to the text, otherwise any free "=" characters in the text will break the template.		required
inline	inline	Optional boolean flag, false by default. When set to "true" (or "1", "t", "yes", "y", "on", etc. ), forces the template to be displayed inline, so that it does not break the current paragraph (that makes possible to put several descriptions side by side on a single line). Set to "false" (or "0", "f", "no", "n", "off", etc. ) or omit or leave blank, and each language will be in a separate line.	empty	optional

Additional information

The template is intended to be used in the following namespaces: all namespaces

The template is intended to be used by the following user groups: all users

Relies on:

• {{Description}}

Parameter #1

• Existing "1=" shall not be removed, even if it is not necessary, see Special:Diff/592488152#removing_1=.
• when no free "="-sign occurs in the text the "1=" is obsolete. Not-free equal signs (inside of template transclusions) don't count.
• without the "1=" but with one or more equal signs, no parameter #1 can be detected, and the error "parameter #1 is empty" is categorized.
• As another error, a superflous pipe "|" character converts it to the contrary:

• while e.g. {{en | some text | }} will be understood,
• {{en |1=some text | }} causes the same error "parameter #1 is empty".

Required or necessary

When a parameter is required the template documentation expresses it with a line in the table, which left column shows the parameter name, then a textual description for the parameter value, and right the code (in this case) "required".

• A named parameter needs to be specified by name=, which may as well be an alias,
• a positional parameter is specified either by its position or by the positional number (e.g. 1=, 2=, 3=...). With other words: the parameter value is required, the parameter name (= the number) is optional; it cannot be required and not even suggested but it becomes necessary (another thing than the un/requiredness in the sense of template documentation!) when (and only when) the parameter value string contains a "free equal sign" (an equal sign outside of another template).
  The positional number is also necessary when positional parameters are specified outside of their positional order, e.g. |2= |1= |3=

Example

{{be|Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyz}}

renders as:

Беларуская: Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyz

Requires JavaScript enabled for folding	Yes		No

Folding is done server-side	No		Yes
Folding when at least n languages are provided	1 (all translations are shown without folding if the preferred language selected by the user has no matching translation)	4	1
Detection of duplicate, incorrect, or unsupported language codes	Yes	No	Yes	Duplicate language codes are impossible by design. Incorrect or unsupported codes are never displayed, but not reported. The Translate extension's interface (if it's used on the translation subpages) doesn't let the user create translations with invalid codes, but other methods (e.g. entering the translation's URL directly) allow it without any warning.

Page size issues	Yes (may exhaust size or time limits in the wiki parser if many languages are included; larger pages to download for all visitors; slower navigation for visitors with slow Internet access; may be costly for visitors with limited data plans)		No (only the content for the selected language or a suitable fallback language is present in the generated page)
