Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:TagValue/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.
This template has a sandbox (Edit) for editors to experiment.

Displays a tag: key-value and (optionally) links to the corresponding wiki page.

This template is powered by Module:Tag.

Traditional format

Usage:

{{TagValue|key}}

{{TagValue|key|value}}

{{TagValue|key|value linked|value displayed}}

{{TagValue|key||value without link}}

If the third argument is used, the link goes to the key page.

What is typed	What displays	To what is linked
{{TagValue|highway|motorway}}	motorway	Tag:highway=motorway
{{tagValue|highway|motorway|''type of the way''}}	type of the way	Tag:highway=motorway
To force it to not link to the specific page, skip the second argument and put the text in the third or fourth argument like:
{{TagValue|amenity||shelter}}	shelter	Key:amenity#amenity-shelter
{{TagValue|bridge|||yes}}	yes	Key:bridge
{{TagValue|ref|||''ref number''}}	ref number	Key:ref

The main Key:name pages (using map features templates) need to be modified to work with this template in order to link them to anchors in these pages such as Key:name#value. For each value described, the matching row in tables listing and describing key values, and which starts with a leading line

|-

must be changed (by ionserting an identifier suitable as HTML anchors) into:

|- id="name-value"

with the name and the value separated with -, and with spaces changed into _ (note that some values containing separators such as #, , or ; cannot be anchored with valid identifiers). E.g. :

|- id="amenity-ferry_terminal"

Actually the key pages updated are:

• Key:amenity Template:Map Features:amenity
• Key:landuse Template:Map Features:landuse

Parameter format

There is a second style with named parameters:
