User talk:Patrick/data Netherlands

Notes

Pages using Dutch data templates:

• Table of municipalities of the Netherlands
• Template:Single-column table row
• Template:Single-column table row/doc
• Movie theaters in the Netherlands
• User:Patrick/data Netherlands

They use

• {{do for every Dutch municipality|table row Dutch municipality with province}}
• {{do for every Dutch municipality|single-column table row}}

Thus Template:Do for every Dutch municipality has to use municipality names accepted by Template:Table row Dutch municipality with province

When the article name of a municipality is no longer the name used in the do-template then:

• if there is a data template, only the article parameter needs to be changed
• if there is no data template then there are the following options
  • a data template is created with the old municipality name
  • a data template is created with a new municipality name (typically the new article name) and the name in the do-template is replaced by the article name

Creation of a data template for a Dutch municipality:

• Use the link in User:Patrick/data Netherlands; if desired, change the name in the URL; in the preloaded data template fill in the parameters article and province, and save. If the name was changed, change it accordingly in the do-template.

Thus the name in the do-template does not have to be changed. If it is changed for other housekeeping reasons (such as municipal re-division, or a more suitable name):

• if there is a data template, rename it and change and add parameters accordingly: change the value of parameter 1 (name after "Data ") and add, if not there yet, parameters article and "short name")
• if there is no data template the possibilities are:
  • create it (see above)
  • change the name or add the new name in Template:Province Dutch municipality and Template:CBS-code Dutch municipality; this option requires that the new name is the article name, or at least redirects to it.
