Editing Manual:Manual

__NOTOC__
= Manual =
As a common language, we use English, so our technical and editing '''templates''' are written and titled in English.

== Editing ==
Every governments article is based on general translatable governments '''template'''.

== Example ==
On the example of current [[Czech Republic]] government, let's take a look at [[Czech Republic 2021]] article:

Here we can see an overview of all representatives per their departments titled by department name. This is English article,
so its <code>Page content language</code> is set to English, which can be seen in article's [{{fullurl:Czech_Republic_2021}}?action=info Page information] in Tools menu on the left.

Here, in [{{fullurl:Czech_Republic_2021}}?action=info Page information], on the bottom, we can see

== Page properties ==

{|class="wikitable"
| Transcluded templates
|}

containing the general government '''template''' for that period

{|class="wikitable"
| [[Template:Czech_Republic_2021]]
|}

Wherein all representatives and their departments are listed. This '''template''' begins with 2 presidents and prime minister:

 <nowiki>
== {{{president}}} ==
<gallery mode="packed" class="dep">
Miloš Zeman 2013.jpg|{{WIKI|{{{Milos_Zeman}}}}}
Petr Pavel 2023.jpg|{{WIKI|{{{Petr_Pavel}}}}} 2023
</gallery>

== {{{prime_minister}}} /<code class="blue">ODS</code>/ ==
<gallery mode="packed" class="dep">
Petr Fiala 2022.jpg|{{WIKI|{{{Petr_Fiala}}}}}
</gallery></nowiki>

<code>{{{president}}}</code>, <code>{{{prime_minister}}}</code> and further variables are reserved for translations to be passed to this general '''template''' by translated articles.

It also uses <code>{{{Milos_Zeman}}}</code> and <code>{{{Petr_Pavel}}}</code> variables for translated presidents' and representatives' names and on this example of translated English [[Czech_Republic_2021]] article, its content is:

 <nowiki>
{{Czech_Republic/en|Czech_Republic_2021/Latin}}</nowiki>

because it's composed of [[Template:Czech_Republic/en]] '''template''' translating department names to English and [[Template:Czech_Republic_2021/Latin]] translating representatives names to many Latin script written languages including English.

The content of English [[Template:Czech_Republic/en]] translation is:
 <nowiki>
{{{{{1}}}
|{{{PARAMS}}}
|president=President
|prime_minister=Prime Minister
|ministry_of_the_environment=Ministry of the Environment
|ministry_of_agriculture=Ministry of Agriculture
|ministry_of_health=Ministry of Health
|ministry_of_foreign_affairs=Ministry of Foreign Affairs
|ministry_of_the_interior=Ministry of the Interior

}}</nowiki>

and translates all Czech Republic department titles and few terms to English. For Czech, there is [[Template:Czech_Republic/cs]] used for Czech language governments articles.

The content of Latin [[Template:Czech_Republic_2021/Latin]] translation is:
 <nowiki>
{{Czech_Republic_2021
|{{{PARAMS}}}
|Milos_Zeman=Miloš Zeman
|Petr_Pavel=Petr Pavel
|Petr_Fiala=Petr Fiala
|Anna_Hubackova=Anna Hubáčková
|Marian_Jurecka=Marian Jurečka
|Petr_Hladik=Petr Hladík
|Zdenek_Nekula=Zdeněk Nekula

|Vlastimil_Valek=Vlastimil Válek
|Jan_Lipavsky=Jan Lipavský
|Vit_Rakusan=Vít Rakušan

|Martin_Kupka=Martin Kupka
|Marek_Zenisek=Marek Ženíšek
|Petr_Kulhanek=Petr Kulhánek
|Lukas_Vlcek=Lukáš Vlček
}}</nowiki>

and provides all Czech Republic 2021 representatives' names in Latin script, used in English [[Czech_Republic_2021]] as well as in Czech [[ČR_2021]].

This way the English [[Czech Republic 2021]] governments article
 <nowiki>
{{Czech_Republic/en|Czech_Republic_2021/Latin}}</nowiki>

as well as Czech [[ČR 2021]]
 <nowiki>
{{Czech_Republic/cs|Czech_Republic_2021/Latin
|opt_Martin_Dvorak=Martin_Dvořák_(politik)
|opt_Lukas_Vlcek=Lukáš_Vlček_(politik)
|opt_Petr_Kulhanek=Petr_Kulhánek_(politik)
}}</nowiki>

are made. The Czech additionally passes optional <code>{{{opt_}}}</code> variables used for different representative Wikipedia link instead of plain representative name.

<blockquote class="tip">
'''The order of ministry titles in government article:'''<br/>
They can be clearly sorted alphabetically by title in national language and if it looks good possibly also in reversed order.
For me, it went well to begin with environment, agriculture, health and foreign affairs, which is maybe mainly for developed countries.

== Starting sample ==
To create general government '''template''' start by copying sample [[Template:Sample_Country_2020-2024]] content. It contains basic structure and uses Sample Person images, until replaced with real ones later.

When uploading real person image:
* name it<code><Name>_<Surname>_<Year-taken>.<file-extension></code> in the "'''Destination filename'''" field 
* fill the source url, where you took it from, in the "'''Summary'''" field in the format <code>Source: <URL></code> - the best is from '''<nowiki>https://commons.wikimedia.org</nowiki>''' used by Wikipedia
Optimal image width is 240 px with <code>Source: <URL></code> put in image comment.
