<p>Category:Mathematician templates</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation subpage}}<br /> &lt;!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE --&gt;<br /> <br /> This template is used in /Data subpages of mathematician talk pages. These store data used by the Mathematics WikiProject to produce sortable tables of mathematicians. The syntax is<br /> :&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Mathematician data|{{{key}}}|name= |dates= |contribs= }}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Usage of /Data subpages===<br /> <br /> *&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=sortname}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> *:{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=sortname}}<br /> *&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=dates}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> *:{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=dates}}<br /> *&lt;nowiki&gt;{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=contribs}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> *:{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data|key=contribs}}<br /> <br /> Without any parameter, &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; produces:<br /> <br /> {{Talk:Johannes Kepler/Data}}<br /> <br /> ==Dates before 1000AD==<br /> For dates before 1000AD the normal sort order does not work and a &#039;&#039;&#039;sortdates&#039;&#039;&#039; key is used to provide a correct sort order. This is hidden in a &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt; tag in the mathematician table.<br /> <br /> For BC/BCE dates calculate &#039;&#039;d&#039;&#039; = 999 - abs(BCE date) and set &lt;code&gt;sortdates=&amp;&#039;&#039;d&#039;&#039;&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Hence Aristotle 384 – 322 BCE becomes<br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Mathematician data|{{{key}}}<br /> |dates=384 – 322 BCE<br /> |sortdates=&amp;615<br /> |sortname= Aristotle<br /> |contribs= <br /> }}<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> Similarly for dates between 1 AD and 999 AD extra 0s need to be added.<br /> For Ptolemy 90 - 168 AD set &lt;code&gt;sortdates=0090&lt;/code&gt;<br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Mathematician data|{{{key}}}<br /> |dates=90 - 168 <br /> |sortdates=0090<br /> |sortname= Ptolemy<br /> |contribs= <br /> }}<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;includeonly&gt;{{Sandbox other||<br /> &lt;!-- Categories below this line --&gt;<br /> [[Category:Mathematician templates]]<br /> }}&lt;/includeonly&gt;</div>
