Template:ArbComOpenTasks/doc

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

Please remember to update this properly. The template is very complex, and therefore easily broken if misused; you must follow the instructions precisely, and preview before you save.

1. When dealing with the newer cases that use the /Requests/Case/Name format, use {{ArbComOpenTasks/line/interim}}. When listing older cases (such as in the Clarifications and Motions sections) which still use Requests for Arbitration/Name, use {{ArbComOpenTasks/line}}
2. Initials (digraphs) for clerks and arbitrators can be found here at {{Wpc/digraph}}, although this system is deprecated.

{{ArbComOpenTasks/line/interim
| name    = case name
| status  = STATUS
| extras  = MOTIONS ETC
| section = SECTION LINK
| date = [leave blank until specifying case closure date]
}}

|status= indicates the current state of the case; can be one of evidence, voting, closing, dismiss, closed, clarification, or amendment.

|section= indicates the title of the corresponding discussion section for clarification and amendment requests.

|clerk2= is optional. |draft2= is optional.

|nocaselink= is optional, and if set to true will omit the case link.

|date= and |target= can be included to override the target/phase dates specified in Template:Casenav/data, but otherwise these are called by default (and converted from the long date format used there to a shorter format, to preserve screen space). Respectively, these relate to the date on which the case case was moved to its current phase, and the date on which the case is expected to move to the PD stage.

The parameters clerk1, clerk2, draft1, and draft2 were previously used to name the clerks and drafters, but as of February 2012, this data is now called directly from Template:Casenav/data.

For requests for arbitration the older template is used, like so:

{{ArbComOpenTasks/line
| nocaselink = true
| name = Nelly Furtado ethnicity dispute
| status = request
| date = 16 May 2012
| section = Nelly Furtado ethnicity dispute
}}

Comment out the pending update line when adding a RFAR where there was not already one or more. Uncomment-out this line if you remove the last pending request for arbitration.

For motions and injunctions that are proposed or have been passed, you must declare a few parameters in order to display a link to the motion(s) in its ArbComOpenTasks entry. The following examples show all the additional parameters that are required.

The following codes should be used within the case's entry on ACOT to indicate when a case in Evidence has either a motion or injunction pending or in force:

• |extras=m For a proposed motion, adds Motion to the template with a link to the proposed decision page. Use mm for a passed motion.
• |extras=i For proposed injunction, adds Inj. to the template with a link to the proposed decision page. Use ii for a passed injunction.

The following codes should be used to indicate within the request's entry on ACOT to show the request on some subpage of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests has a motion or injunction pending or in force.

• |extras=mrfar Where "mrfar" is shorthand for motion on a request for arbitration subpage. Declare this parameter first, then the following:
• |subpage-mrfar=Clarifications Where the request in which a motion is proposed is a request for clarification. Alternatives are Case, Amendments, etc.
• |section-mrfar=Motion Where the motion was proposed in a section named Motion. If, for instance, the motion was proposed in a section named Motions then you would have section-mrfar as Motions.
• |text-mrfar=Motion To have pipped text of "Motion".

Extraordinarily, the committee may initiate a review of a prior case. In this instance, an amended version of the usual code must be used to add an entry on ACOT. Within the "Reviews" section under "Open cases", above "Recently closed cases", replace the "none" code (if applicable) with the following:

{{ArbComOpenTasks/review
| name    = case name
| status  = STATUS
}}

This template currently has two parameters which can be used to affect how it is displayed when used on a page.

• |acotwidth=width can override the default width (currently "45%") with a user selectable value. CSS values are all valid, meaning you can specify a percentage, or an actual pixel width ("640px" for example).
• |acotstyle= can override general styles, it is inserted after the standard CSS style definitions, allowing you to override colors, size and so forth.

If you have this template nested within a table, you could for example force this table to take up 100% of the space provided by invoking it as follows:

{{ArbComOpenTasks|acotwidth=100%}}

To display without Clerk/Draft Arbitrator notes simply add:

.wpc { display: none; }
