== Usage ==
This template's syntax is being changed to a new format which doesn't need year parameters. While the changeover is underway, both and new forms are supported.
===New syntax ===
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>EstcatCountry|''''' country [ | sort key [ | new name ]] ''}}
;Examples
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>EstcatCountry|the United States|United States<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>EstcatCountry|Belgium<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
====New syntax: Change of country name====
The optional 5th parameter sort key can also be used to override the country name in the parent category, "Establishments in 'X' by year".
This is useful where a country has changed its name, and the only parent category by year uses the new name.
This feature was introduced in September 2015. For more info, see [[Template talk:EstcatCountry]].
{{As of|August 2019}}, pages that use this parameter are in [[:Category:EstcatCountry with newname parameter]].
; Example
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>estcatCountryBurma|Burma|Myanmar<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
The parent categories will be [[:Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year]], but still [[:Category:1900s establishments in Burma]].
====New syntax: Suppressing parent category for decade====
The template normally adds the page into a parent for the decade. In cases where that decade category does not exist, and it would not be useful to create it because of the short duration or small number of categories for this country, append <code>|decadeparent=no</code>
====New syntax: Disambiguation====
If the country name used in the category title is ambiguous, use the optional named '''dab''' parameter to link to the mainspace article about the country.
; Example
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>estcatCountry|Malaya|Malaya|dab=Malayan Union<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
===Old syntax ===
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>EstcatCountry|''''' YYY | Y | country [ | sort key [ | new name ]] ''}}
Line 9 ⟶ 44:
'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>EstcatCountry|200|7|Belgium<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
