Template:In Memoriam user/doc

From Wikimania

This is a helper template for making In Memoriam pages. It displays the content (like dates) in a user's language.

Parameters

[edit source]
  • user – link to the deceased user page or the user name (mandatory)
  • died – user's death date, please use YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM or YYYY format (mandatory)
  • born – user's birth date, use the same format as above (optional)
  • photo – photo of the user on Commons (optional)
  • suffix – additional text to display in the template (optional)

Minimal version:

{{In Memoriam user |user=[[User:User123|User123]] |died=2023-06-01}}

Full version:

{{In Memoriam user |user=[[User:User123|User123]] |born=1970-01-01 |died=2023-06-01 |photo=No photo available.svg |suffix=Long-standing member of WMABC}}

When embeding the template on a page, please wrap it in the gallery tag as in the example below (the heights attribute can be customized):

{{#tag:gallery|
{{In Memoriam user |user=[[User:User123|User123]] |died=2023-06-01}}
...
|mode=packed-overlay|heights=250px}}

The gallery has to be created using a parser function. The tag syntax will unfortunately not work due to MediaWiki limitations.
