Profile manager: Germany Project WikiTree [send private message]

This page is provided by the Germany Project

Welcome to the Germany Project Templates Page

The Germany project has many templates which can be used to add special boxes, also known as stickers, to display on profiles.

Templates highlight information of interest specific to the person and should be used sparingly, with no more than 3 per profile (the exception is for active WikiTree member profiles, where you can load them on). :-)

Please remember: stickers are used for profile "decoration" only. The information you add to a sticker should be reflected in the profile's data fields and in its biography. Stickers are used at the discretion of the profile manager and can be removed at any time. If you want to add a sticker to a profile, please be courteous and ask the PM before adding a sticker to a profile you do not manage.

Location Stickers

Use the Germany Sticker to produce "lived in" or "born in" location stickers. A location MUST be added as a parameter. If you add a modern regional location (rather than just Germany or Deutschland), you can also add a regional flag. Berlin is used as an example in the images below.

If you're adding a regional location to the sticker, it should be used on more modern profiles as they do not include the language "the region now known as XYZ, Germany" ("hat deutsche Wurzeln im Bereich des heutigen XYZ, Deutschland"), as the German Roots Sticker does. To use this more complex language for a location sticker, use the Nonmigrating Ancestor sticker, below.

NOTE: The Germany Sticker and Nonmigrating Ancestor sticker do NOT add any categories.

See Template: Germany Sticker for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker.

"Lived In" Sticker

The Germany Sticker's default text, with a location parameter, produces a "lived in" sticker - a location MUST be added as a parameter. To add this sticker to a profile, copy the following coding and insert it directly below the Biography headline:

... ... ... lived in Germany.

{{Germany Sticker
|location=Germany}} displays as:

... ... ... lived in Berlin, Germany.

{{Germany Sticker
|location=Berlin, Germany
|image=German_Flags-1.png}} displays as:

... ... ... lebte in Deutschland.

{{Germany Sticker
|location=Deutschland
|lang=de}} displays as:

... ... ... lebte in Berlin, Deutschland.

{{Germany Sticker
|location=Berlin, Deutschland
|lang=de
|image=German_Flags-1.png}} displays as:

See Template: Germany Sticker for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker as a "lived in" sticker.

"Born In" Sticker

Adding "|born=yes" to the Germany Sticker, with a location parameter, produces a "born in" sticker - a location MUST be added as a parameter.

To add this sticker to a profile, copy the following coding and insert it directly below the Biography headline:

... ... ... was born in Germany.

{{Germany Sticker
|born=yes
|location=Germany}} displays as:

... ... ... was born in Berlin, Germany.

{{Germany Sticker
|born=yes
|location=Berlin, Germany
|image=German_Flags-1.png}} displays as:

... ... ... wurde in Deutschland geboren.

{{Germany Sticker
|born=yes
|location=Deutschland
|lang=de}} displays as:

... ... ... wurde in Berlin, Deutschland geboren.

{{Germany Sticker
|born=yes
|location=Berlin, Deutschland
|lang=de
|image=German_Flags-1.png}} displays as:

See Template: Germany Sticker for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker as a "born in" sticker.

Migrating Ancestor

The Migrating Ancestor template is used for profiles of people who migrated from one place to another.

{{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Germany |destination= Australia |origin-flag= Flags.gif |destination-flag= Flags_of_Australian.png }}

... ... ... migrated from Germany to Australia.

See Template:Migrating Ancestor for more detailed information on the migrating ancestor sticker.

Nonmigrating Ancestor

The Nonmigrating Ancestor template can be used to create a more complex "born in", "lived in" or "Roots" sticker. These are highly customizable as you can add your own text and images.

Example 1:

{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ was born in the region now known as Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }}

XYZ was born in the region now known as Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein.

Example 2:

{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ lived in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein her entire life. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }}

XYZ lived in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein her entire life.

Example 3:

{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ has roots in Großherzogtum Mecklenburg-Strelitz. |flag=German_territorial_structure_in_the_course_of_history-70.png |tooltip=Flagge Mecklenburg }}

XYZ has roots in Großherzogtum Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

See Template:Nonmigrating Ancestor for more detailed information on using the nonmigrating ancestor sticker. See also German Flags for a list of flags with dates used.

Descendant Sticker

The Descendant sticker is a lot like the Nonmigrating Ancestor sticker and can be tailored with images, links to individual family members AND categories can be added as well. To use an image, you'll need its file name. A category can be called using the "category" parameter.

Example 1:

{{Descendant |id=a Prussian King |image=German_Flags-19.png |imagetext=Flag of Prussia }}

Descendant of a Prussian King.

Example 2:

{{Descendant |image=German_Flags-35.png |id=[[Thiessen-484|HDA Thiessen]], who emigrated from Reinsbüttel, Duchy of Holstein after the First Schleswig War}}

Descendant of HDA Thiessen, who emigrated from Reinsbüttel, Duchy of Holstein after the First Schleswig War.

This sticker can be used in several ways. See Template: Descendant for more detailed information on using the descendant sticker.
