Usage
This template provides a wrapper around accesses to the performance listings of the Operabase website. Using such a wrapper simplifies the creation of the link, and helps isolate Wikipedia from changes in the target website's addresses, structures and syntax.
The template allows Operabase performances to be searched by either composer or work title, or a combination of the two. Note that the earliest performances returned will be from the start of the previous season.
Search parameters
At least one of the parameters of 'work' or 'composer' is required.
{{ Operabase | composer=composername }} {{ Operabase | work=worktitle }} {{ Operabase | work=worktitle | composer=composername }}
Display
The template will automatically create a descriptive label for the link from its parameters, e.g.:
- {{Operabase | work=Die tote Stadt }}
- {{Operabase | composer=Alexander Raskatov }}
- {{Operabase | work=Otello | composer=Rossini }}
will display as:
- ‹The template Operabase is being considered for deletion.›
- ‹The template Operabase is being considered for deletion.›
- ‹The template Operabase is being considered for deletion.›
{{ Operabase | label=linktext }}
You can override this default linking text by supplying a label. The linktext should not be enclosed in quotes. Example:
- {{Operabase | work=Die tote Stadt | label=Recent and planned performances }}
will display as:
- ‹The template Operabase is being considered for deletion.›
{{ Operabase | linkonly=t }}
To suppress the rest of the words in the template output, and get the bare link on its own, use the linkonly=t option
- {{Operabase | work=Die tote Stadt | label=Recent and planned performances | linkonly=t }}
will display as:
- ‹The template Operabase is being considered for deletion.›
