Template talk:Showfacts locality/doc

Standard subpage name
Should be just "/people" - because it will show people - whatever people the template of that name (as possibly amended/extended in future) shows. See Wellington/people. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 16:38, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

More complex for county, and/or not?

 * 1) Doc says "For the same effect on a different page, such as a county page including lists for all named settlements within it, we will need a more complex template". I presume you mean settlements specified by the user (e.g. as parameters), so that a user could select just the villages in a chosen sector of a large county. Whatever the SMW code is for "If county=(X) and locality=(Y or Z or W)".
 * 2) For the county as a whole, on the other hand, all that we need is a simple variant of the template that asks for the county property instead of the locality property, I presume. Show county people. It will need a similar cautionary note about contributors not always specifying the county, especially if the locality is a large city. (Who bothers to mention Cook County, Illinois, when something's in Chicago?) I should be able to create that. But I'm off to bed.
