Documentation

A template to help in the construction of lists of textile mills (TM). {{TMtr}} adds a data row to a list (table) that has been started with {{TMbegin}}; {{TMend}} closes each list. The formatting of the data row is complex, occurring on one or two lines in the list, and this can be of two different shades. There are ten unnamed parameters, and the named parameters force, and color. The parameter force, forces a 2 row format when there is no image or notes. color (mis-spelling to be consistent with css) may be set to dark or pale to assist with formatting. oscoor is used to input a raw UKgrid reference which is then processed by {{oscoor}} to give a clickable link. It overrides the third parameter field.

It is the final row in the list must be {{TMend}}as it contains the list-close syntax.

Unnamed parameters

1. Mill name
2. Location
3. Coordinate
4. Reference
5. Notes- Description
6. Image
7. Architect/Owner (some lists use different info)
8. Built
9. Decommissioned
10. Demolished (This accepts the word Standing- but does not process it as this year: 2024 yet.)

Named parameter

• color (dark | pale)
• force (any value)
• oscoor (UKgridref}

Caveat

Coordinates specified using the oscoor parameter will not show on any map generated by {{GeoGroupTemplate}}.

Usage

This shows a list of three mills, between the opening {{TMbegin}} and the closing {{TMend}}:

{{TMtr|Pear New Mill| Bredbury |||A GradeII* listed building, Pear Mill, Stockport, was an Edwardian mill, one of the last cotton spinning mills to be built, commencing production in July 1913.

The power was provided by a Manhattan type steam engine by George Saxon. Transmission was by a rope drives.

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE.

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• agent
• category
• county-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• region
• street-address
• uid
• url
• vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

• geo
• latitude
• longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Precision

When giving coordinates, please use an appropriate level of precision. Do not use {{coord}}'s |name= parameter.
