Infobox character encoding

टेम्पलेट बिबरनलेख[देखीं] [संपादन करीं] [इतिहास देखीं] [रिफ्रेश करीं]

Infobox template for character encodings, character sets, code pages et cetera.

While the difference between a coded character set and a character encoding is clear in a Unicode context (UTF-8 and UTF-16 are different encodings for the same set), the difference is often blurred immensely by legacy encodings. For example, so-called "WinLatin-1" is a de facto extension of the "Latin-1" (ISO 8859-1) encoding, whereas so-called "DOS Latin-1" is an alternative, incompatible encoding (or transformation format) of the ISO 8859-1 charset. Both add their own extensions, meaning that their own charsets, taken as wholes, have their own unique identities as well. For this reason, the same infobox template is used for both.

TemplateData for Infobox character encoding

An infobox for a format comprising a coded character set and/or a character encoding.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Name	name	Common, preferably unique, name of character encoding (displayed as title of infobox). Not necessarily a valid label.	String	required
Image	image	Image (such as a single byte character grid, multiple byte layout chart or a logo of the set)	File	optional
Image Caption	caption	Caption for the image	String	optional
MIME / IANA	mime	A label of the encoding to be used in MIME types. Should be an IANA-approved label for the specific encoding in question; favour the Preferred MIME Name if one is available. Set |_nomimecode= to disable the default <code>...</code> formatting.	String	optional
Kermit	kermit	A label of the encoding used in Kermit. As MIME names are currently accepted by Kermit, this is not necessarily useful to note, but may be if the label is in extensive use or if there is no MIME name for the encoding. Set |_nokermitcode= to disable the default <code>...</code> formatting.	String	optional
Alias(es)	alias	Other names and labels of the character encoding	String	optional
Language(s)	lang	The language or languages which the character encoding is used for or, more broadly, supports.	String	optional
Created by	by	Individual or organisation who created the encoding	String	optional
Standard	standard	If the format is part of a standard or standards, list it/them here.	String	optional
Definitions	definitions	Defining documents or reference implementations which don't constitute a standard.	String	optional
Current status	status	Usage status of the character encoding	String	optional
Classification	classification	Classification of the charset or encoding, e.g. series it may be part of (e.g. ISO 8859), general categories (e.g. Extended ASCII), higher level encoding it might be built for (ISO 2022), et cetera.	String	optional
Extends	extends	Encodings which it is an extended version or superset of (but which it may or may not be a clear successor of).	String	optional
Based on	basedon	Encodings which it is a modification of but NOT (either in theory or practice) a superset of.	String	optional
Extensions	extensions	Noteworthy extended versions of the charset or encoding (but which may or may not be regarded as clear successors).	String	optional
Transforms / Encodes	encodes	Repertoire or charset which is a subset (or equal set) of this encoding's repertoire. Whilst this may be something which is both a charset and an encoding, it should not be an encoding solely encoding a charset with its own clear identity (e.g. 'ISO 8859-1', 'Unicode' are both appropriate values but 'UTF-8' is not). If it is an encoding which is a subset of the encoding itself, it goes in the Extends field.	String	optional
Encoding formats	encodings	Encoding or transformation formats for the charset. These are usually listed if the charset either doesn't define an encoding format itself, or defines more than one (e.g. Unicode), or one which is not consistently used.	String	optional
Preceded by	prev	Encoding/charset/format which it superseded in some context.	String	optional
Succeeded by	next	Encoding/charset/format which it was superseded by in some context.	String	optional
Other related encodings	otherrelated	Any other encodings which are worth of note as being related, but neither a predecessor, nor a successor, nor a subset.	String	optional
Extra markup	extra	Something to leave at the bottom of the infobox, below the information. For example, a {{notelist}} invocation.	String	optional
