Template:ISO 4217/code/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:ISO 4217/code. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Utilising the alpha3 ISO 4217 code. For example, the code number can be derived from the code. Based on the ISO 4217 Standfard definition (per {{ISO 4217/cite}}, as of October 2022^[update]).

There are 304 unique codes (ADP..ZWR). Codes are reused (as currency in history, in history with different end-date by country, in List Two funds, in entities) resulting in 452 currency definitions (data rows).

• ISO 4217 code (P498)

General[edit]

|iso-code=

|format=

|is-obsolete=

Most parameters work by {{yesno}} principle: yes, 1, true, <anytext> and no, 0, false, <blank> are recognised as T/F.

See also § maintenance-category ISO 4217

|format=-options can be comma-separated list: |format=option-none, ISO4217-cat, mono, brackets, (as announced per template)

Base: iso-code[edit]

ISO 4217/code[edit]

• {{ISO 4217/code}}

Returns valid ISO 4217 code or blank.

|iso-code=

Basic: |format=<blank> returns EITHER the code as exists OR <blank> (no tracking etc)

|format=option-none, ISO4217-cat

See § maintenance-category ISO4217

Other data (ref, comment) elsewhere. Data as of 17 October 2022^[update], per source {{ISO 4217/cite}}

iso-code error (maintenance category)[edit]

|format=ISO4217-cat will categorise articles with ISO-codes that do not exist in ISO. Sorted under C.

(When in Template space, a wikilink to the category will show: |iso-code=ZZZ → ISOcat-C*)

See § maintenance-category ISO4217

option-none (code='None')[edit]

|format=option-none will allow |iso-code=''None'', none, no (formatting is optional).

• {{ISO 4217/code-none}} will return (show) |iso-code=''None'' (as formatted).

Internally, {{ISO 4217/code-none}} returns _NONE_ or <blank>.

When code "None" is not allowed |format=option-none, |iso-code=None input is considered unrecognised code (returns blank). Will be categorised from mainspace, sorted under N.

(In Template space: |iso-code=None → ISOcat-N*)

See § maintenance-category ISO4217

Examples[edit]

Derived value templates[edit]

minor unit[edit]

• "Minor unit" in ISO 4217: number of decimals for minor unit used in currency trade. For example, USD has Minor unit=2, i.e. 0.01 (dollarcent unit).

Occurring values are: <blank>, N.A., 0, 2, 3, 4. So, incidentally, 1 (for ¤ 0.1) is not present. Obsolete currency (historical, List Three): has no minor unit ("blank").

• {{ISO 4217/code-minor-unit}}

In enwiki: "<blank>", "N.A.", "0" all return blank, because "¤ 1" is not a subunit of "¤ 1".

|iso-code=, |is-obsolete=, |format=blank/default (0.001-form), exponent (N.A., <blank>, 0, 2, 3, 4)

Examples

<blank> AFA: →

N.A. XPD: N.A. →

0 KRW: →

1 (not present)

2 RUB: 2 → 0.01

3 OMR: 3 → 0.001

4 CLF: 4 → 0.0001

Ambiguous code & minor units[edit]

• 10 codes are ambiguous: they appear both obsolete and active: |ANG|EUR|HRK|IDR|MWK|PEN|RON|SDG|SZL|TRY.

For example, PEN refers to an obsolete and an active currency. These have different exponents.

|is-obsolete=no/yes sets the right one. Default is: |is-obsolete=no (currency PEN is active}})

Example

PEN is ambiguous, required |is-obsolete= specifier.

USD is not ambiguous (active, |is-obsolete= is trivial)

ESA is not ambiguous (historical, List Three; |is-obsolete= is trivial)

Other not a code

PEN

|is-obsolete=1999 >< (obsolete)

|is-obsolete=no >0.01< (active)

|is-obsolete= >0.01< (active, default)

|<absent>= >0.01< (active, default)

• USD >0.01<
• PEN >0.01<
• FOO ><
• blank ><

is-obsolete=1999

• USD >0.01<
• PEN ><
• FOO ><
• blank ><

is-obsolete=no

• USD >0.01<
• PEN >0.01<
• FOO ><
• blank ><

is-obsolete=yes

• USD >0.01<
• PEN ><
• FOO ><
• blank ><

code-to-number[edit]

• {{ISO 4217/code-to-number}} ({{../format}})

1. Code and number are 1:1 (code=number; number=code).
2. Three codes defined to have no number: XFO, XFU, XRE (all obsolete)
3. As of 17 October 2022^[update]: 304 existing unique alpha3-codes (over Lists One, Two and Three). Alphacode can have zero or one number (but not multiple). Numbers can repeat (eg ALL, ALK=008).

• |format=<blank>, plain [=default]; brackets

Follows from code. Unknown code=blank. No tracking.

code-is-ambiguous[edit]

• 10 codes are ambiguous, they appear both obsolete and active: |ANG|EUR|HRK|IDR|MWK|PEN|RON|SDG|SZL|TRY.

For example, EUR is active in GERMANY, and obsolete in SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO per withdrawal-date=2006-10 (List Three). As of 17 October 2022^[update].

When such code is used, disambiguation may be required (is-obsolete=yes/no), to specify which currency is intended. This is relevant with minor-unit, and manually setting (clarifying)is-obsolete. Used in {{Infobox currency}}.

|format=ISO4217-cat: The article using an ambiguous code, will be categorised, sort under A (for checking, not an error indication).

• {{ISO 4217/code-is-ambiguous}}

|format=iso-code, ISO4217-cat |yes-text=anytext, <blank> (note: |yes-text=<blank> is counter-intuitive; useful for categorisation)

|yes-text=<blank> → no returntext (use for silent categorisation |ISOcat=yes)

Tracking: |ISOcat=yes: when ambiguous then → in Category:Pages using ISO 4217 currency to check (1) (catsort under A)

default USD → ><

PEN → >PEN<

|ISOcat=yes → >PEN<

|yes-text=_YES-is-ambig_ → >_YES-is-ambig_<

|yes-text=<blank> → >< So status=yes, but yes-returntext is suppressed

|yes-text=<blank>, |ISOcat=yes → >< So status=yes, but yes-returntext is suppressed

code-to-withdrawal-date[edit]

• {{ISO 4217/code-to-withdrawal-date}}
• Note: |is-obsolete=yes/no required for ambivalent currencies: ANG, EUR, HRK, IDR, MWK, PEN, RON, SDG, SZL, TRY

These codes are both in list-1 and list-3 (active and obsolete). So one must specify wheteher active (no|is-obsolete=<blank>, no or obsolete |withdr-date=1999, yes No tracking. Multiple witdrawal-dats possible

Used in {{ISO 4217/code-minor-unit}}

Not in mainspace[edit]

code-is-obsolete[edit]

• Template:ISO 4217/code-is-obsolete (backlinks edit) returns ISO withdrawal-date or blank.
• Template:ISO 4217/code-is-obsolete/calc (backlinks edit) returns ISO withdrawal-date or blank.

|iso-code, is-obsolete=

{{/testcases}}

The logic[edit]

|iso-code=, determines from ISO 4217. Thew code can be ambiguous.

|is-obsolete=: yes/no (T/F), blank='unknown'

{{yesno}} is applied: |is-obsolete=no, false=no (not obsolete, so active), |is-obsolete=<any text>isyes (obsolete)

Currency is obsolete?
		|is-obsolete=T/F/unk
		T=obs 01	F=act 02	unk 03
code |iso-code= ABC/unk →T/F/ambig/unk
	T=obs 10	OBS 11	N→ACT 12	OBS 13
	F=act 20	N→OBS 21	ACT 22	ACT 23
	ambig 30	OBS 31	ACT 32	ACT (default) 33
	unk 40	OBS 41	ACT 42	ACT (default) 43

• N Contradicting situation: Obsolete vs. Active. By default |code-priority=no, so |is-obsolete=T/F decides.

Contradiction solving[edit]

Two situations imply a contradiction: the ISO-status contradicts the entered |is-obsolete= status. This may occur when an infobox covers more than one currency. The default handling is: |is-obsolete= takes precedence. By setting |code-priority=yes gives ISO code prority (result opposite). This does not resolve the contradiction.

Currency is obsolete?
|code-priority=no (default)
		|is-obsolete=T/F/unk
		T=obs 01	F=act 02
code |iso-code=... →T/F/...
	T=obs 10	OBS 11	N→ACT 12
	F=act 20	N→OBS 21	ACT 22

|code-priority=yes
	N→OBS 12
N→ACT 21

Returns: when Obsolete, a text; when Active, no text (blank). On can apply this as {{#if:{{code-is-obsolete|...}}|Obsolete|Active}}.

The returntext is:

When obsolete: 1. the |is-obsolete=anytext; 2. the |withdrawal-date=, 3. |obs-text=..., 4. "OBS"

When active: 1. |act-text=... 2. <blank>

Note that, by entering a blank |obs-text=, the returntext will be a blank (so, same as default actual returntext!)

|obs-text=, |act-text= overwrites.

In{{Infobox currency}}

For |obsolete=, |obsolete= of the infobox is used: |obsolete={{{obsolete|}}}
