Module:Native name

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 a lang= 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}}.
