Template:TagKey/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:TagKey.
It contains usage information, categories and other content or metadata that is not part of the original template.

Inserts a linked reference to a key.

This template is powered by Module:Tag.

Usage

Simple usage

• {{TagKey|landuse}} → landuse

With language code prefix

• {{TagKey|landuse|kl=FR}} → landuse
• {{TagKey|landuse|kl=fr}} → landuse

If you explicitly specify the language code in the kl (or lang) parameter, its letter case is not significant and the link with the correct language prefix for that language is generated directly to that language, using {{LangPrefix}}, even if there's still no such translation (a red link may appear in that case).

Otherwise the language to use will be determined from the current page using Module:Languages: a single existence test will be (costly) made to find a relevant page in that language, or otherwise it will default to the (unprefixed) English version of the key description page (no additional test is made to find another fallback language). No costly test occurs for linking to the English page, which is assumed to exist (a red link may appear in that case too).

Subkeys linked to parent key's page

• {{TagKey|payment|subkey=coins}} → payment:coins
• {{TagKey|payment|subkey=coins|subkey2=denominations}} → payment:coins:denominations

Notice that both of the key links above link to the page Key:payment, which is what is defined in 1.

Subkeys linked to dedicated page for subkey

• {{TagKey|payment:coins}} → payment:coins
• {{TagKey|payment:coins|subkey=denominations}} → payment:coins:denominations

When linking to a subkey that has its own page (like Key:payment:coins) separate from its parent key's page (like Key:payment), add the subkey to the first parameter instead.

Subkeys linked as if they can be used as keys themselves

• {{TagKey|payment}} → payment:operator
• {{TagKey|payment}} → payment:operator:wikidata
