Template:KeyDescription/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:KeyDescription (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template implements a small box which explains the basics about a specific key.

It should be used on every page of the Key:*-namespace!

Currently it also includes the Template:Languages.

For pages in the Tag:*-namespace, see Template:ValueDescription.

How to use this template

Include the template code on top of every Key:*-page:

{{KeyDescription
|key=keyname
|image=Image:imagename.png
|description=short description
|group=group name
|onNode=yes/no
|onWay=yes/no
|onArea=yes/no
|onRelation=yes/no
|combination=useful tag to combine with
|implies=tags implied by this key
|lang=en
}}

Replace the parts behind the = with something that fits your need.

• key= this is the name of your key in lower-case letters for example: key=highway
• image= name of a example image that describes your key for example: image=Image:Motorway-photo.jpg Use image=undefined if it is not possible to photograph an example for the key (e.g. seasonal=*) which removes it from the category Category:Key pages with missing images.
• description= short description of your key. try to keep it short but relevant. for example:description=The highway tag is the primary tag used for any kind of street or way.
• group= Name of a group which this key belongs to. used by the Tagwatch script to sort all the keys.
• onNode= either yes or no describe on which element your key can be used
• onWay= either yes or no describe on which element your key can be used
• onArea= either yes or no describe on which element your key can be used
• onRelation= either yes or no describe on which element your key can be used
• combination= give hints about tags which are good to combine with this one
• implies= tags implied by this key. I.e. highway=* implies access=yes
• lang= 2 letter country code for example DE, EN, NL, TR, ...

Examples

• Key:highway
• Key:railway

Translating a existing page
