Click here to test in HTML

A script and template to subtly embed a suicide crisis telephone number into a line of text. It assumes the number based on the geolocation of the IP and maps it to a number. The telephone numbers have been sourced from List of suicide crisis lines. The script also aims to mitigate WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NODISCLAIMERS when discussions around this topic arise.

The intended usage is: {{lifeline|[prefix]|[suffix]|[default text]}}. With the parameter [country] to display the name of the country if needed, and [country.caps] if, for example, "the Netherlands" needs to be capitalized into "The Netherlands".

Example usage

edit

If used in the Suicide methods article

edit

These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline{{lifeline|, such as | in [country]|}}.

Would render in the US as: These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline, such as 998 in the USA.

Would render in the UK as: These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline, such as 0800 689 5652 in the UK.

Would render if not found as: These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline.

Questions may arise if a VPN is detected, on whether it should default or display the country data of that VPN. To err on the side of caution, the VPN country data should just be displayed.

How it works

edit

The script assumes the geolocation of the user by their IP address. It will return the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, which is mapped to the suicide crisis telephone number of that country. It will output the telephone number.

Script

edit

The last stable version of the script: version 1

The last stable version of the HTML tester: version 2.1

Version history
Version Description
Version 1 Fetches the country code using an external service.
Current unstable version (this one) Completed

Fetches the country using Geo.country.

"country" refers to the name of country, previously it referred to the country code, which has been replaced with "country_code".

Parameter for [country], to allow for expansion, making it more precise and subtle. For example {{lifeline|, such as | in [country]|}} renders as ", such as 998 in the USA"

Tasks:

Script Template
Confirm what format Geo.country outputs in. Parameter for 'default text' to display if there isn’t a number available/if the script fails.
Parameter to allow the number to be prefixed and suffixed, if one is found. Unique to each usage.
Add option for [country.caps] for if starting a sentence which will capitalise the "the" in: the UK, the USA, the Philippines, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, and the United Arab Emirates

Template

edit

This template will insert the suicide crisis telephone number relevant to the users geolocation, subtly in-text.

Usage

edit

Use this template in-text, instead of a disclaimer or a banner. The is also default text if no number is found. It should be formatted like this:

{{lifeline|[prefix]|[suffix]|[default text]}}

Optional parameters

edit
  • [country] – returns the name of the country if also needed.
  • [country.caps] – returns the name of the country with the first letter is capitalized, for cases such as "the Netherlands".

Default behavior

edit

These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline {{lifeline|, such as | in [country]|}}.

Would render in the United States of America as: These include support, access to treatment, and calling a crisis hotline, such as 998 in the USA.
