Template talk:Tcname unused
 | Weather: Tropical Template‑class | |||||||||

Usage[edit]
These templates are used to format tropical cyclone names, typically listed at the end of each season article. Formatting cues are used to differentiate between used, active, and unused names.
- {{tcname unused|<name>}}
- {{tcname active|<name>}}
The only unnamed parameter is the name of the cyclone. You may also leave the name out to get a simple description of the formatting cues.
Examples[edit]
| Sample code | Output |
|---|---|
| {{tcname unused|Camille}} | Camille (unused) |
| {{tcname active|Katrina}} | Katrina (active) |
| {{tcname unused}} | gray |
| {{tcname active}} | bold+ |
Discussion[edit]
I created these templates because the older AHS season articles had unformatted name lists, and some of the newer ones had inconsistent formatting. I therefore went through all AHS articles and updated them to use the {{tcname unused}} template. The {{tcname active}} template is less important because generally only a small number of cyclones are active at once. — jdorje (talk) 20:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Accessibility[edit]
The greyed-out text in this template fails WP:COLOUR and should be darkened, or some other indicator used, for the reasons explained there. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:54, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
