ਅੰ.
 | 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 should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. The CS1 and CS2 templates have limited support for c. as an abbreviation in the date fields. |
Usage
ਸੋਧੋThis template generates an abbreviation for circa: ਅੰ. By default the abbreviation is marked with an HTML <abbr> tag, which in most browsers renders as a tooltip when hovered.
Examples
ਸੋਧੋ| Syntax | What it looks like | Notes |
|---|---|---|
{{circa|1325}}
|
ਅੰ. 1325 | Default style: no line break allowed; thin space |
{{circa|1325|lk=yes}}
|
ਅੰ. 1325 | Replace abbreviation tooltip with a link to Wiktionary instead |
{{circa|1325|lk=no}}
|
ਅੰ. 1325 | No abbreviation tooltip at all |
{{circa|1000|1050}}
|
ਅੰ. 1000 – ਅੰ. 1050 | For a range with both dates uncertain. No tooltip on the second instance of "c." |
{{circa|1000–1050}}
|
ਅੰ. 1000–1050 | Another option for a range; but, per , prefer {{circa|1000|1050}}
|
Parameters
ਸੋਧੋUsing the date itself as parameter (for example, "{{circa|1956}}", giving "ਅੰ. 1956"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, "{{circa}} 1956" allows a line break between the "ਅੰ." and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:
- "ਅੰ. 1956" is generated by "
{{circa|1956}}". - "ਅੰ. 1956" is generated by "
{{circa}} 1956".
If the parameter |lk= (for "link") is set as "|lk=no" or "|lk=off", the abbreviation is rendered as "ਅੰ.", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is absent, or set to "|lk=abbr", the abbreviation is rendered with the HTML <abbr> element. If it is set to "|lk=yes" or "|lk=on", it is rendered as "ਅੰ.", with a wikilink to the wikt:circa article in Wiktionary and not an abbreviation element. lk=no can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:
[[Dionysius Exiguus]] was born {{circa|470}}, lived in Rome from {{circa|lk=no|500}}, and died {{circa|lk=no|544}}.- → Dionysius Exiguus was born ਅੰ. 470, lived in Rome from ਅੰ. 500, and died ਅੰ. 544.
If the parameter "sortable=yes" is specified, the template generates invisible text that will cause the output to work in sortable tables, at the cost of adding those words (read-out, audibly) by many screen readers. The benefit is effective, clickable arrows as in "Col 2" below:
| Title | Col 1 | Col 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Foo | 1066 | 1066 |
| Bar | ਅੰ. 1510 | ਅੰ. 1510 |
| Baz | 1956 | 1956 |
| Jaz | ਅੰ. 410 | ਅੰ. 410 |
