 | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Template:Tld inspects the value in the |native_name= parameter in infoboxes that support that parameter, and returns that value and, when appropriate, an error message.
Usage
Typical use is:
|dataxx={{Native name checker|{{{native_name|}}}}}
Error messages
Template:Tld returns these error messages:
- Error {{native name checker}}: parameter value is malformed –
|native_name=is expected to hold{{Native name}}or{{Native name list}}. The detector is looking for alang=html attribute with a properly formatted IETF language tag. If not found, Template:Tld emits this error message. - Error {{native name checker}}: list markup expected for multiple names – when Template:Tld detects more than one name in
|native_name=, those names are expected to be listed using appropriate list markup. The detector is looking for<div class="plainlist">...</div>html list markup. When that markup is not detected,{{Native name checker}}emits this error message. Data from multiple Template:Tld templates can be combined into a single Template:Tld template or multiple Template:Tld templates can be listed using{{Plainlist}}. - Error {{native name checker}}: <br /> lists not allowed – Per MOS:NOBREAKS, the use of
<br />to separate items of a list is proscribed. Usually<br />-separated lists are caught by the list markup expected detector but, occasionally, not. The detector looks for a variety of acceptable and unacceptable<br />variants. Data from multiple Template:Tld templates can be combined into a single Template:Tld template or multiple Template:Tld templates can be listed using{{Plainlist}}.
