Displays standardized category navigation for occupations and nationalities, required by Wikipedia:Category names#Occupation.
This template should be avoided on categories not diffused by nationality, e.g. Arab, Bengali, Carniolan, Guadeloupean fooers. Note that geographic categories should in general use the People from Foo format, as required by Wikipedia:Category names#Residence.
Usage
Sovereign nationalities
|
Simplest case
For a profession which is a subset of another profession
For a profession which is an intersection of two other professions
|
Non-sovereign nationalities
For colonies, protectorates, constituent countries, overseas territories etc:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession= |Nationality= |Country= |ParentCountry= | ParentNationality= }}
- All parameters, vertical format

The occupation, e.g. "film score composers" The nationality, for example "Irish" The country, for example "Ireland" An occupation of which this is a sub-category, e.g. "film people" Another occupation of which this is a sub-category, e.g. "composers" The parent country of which this is a territory, e.g. "France" The parent nationality, e.g. "French" |
- If a field name is listed in the Prerequisites column, it is a prerequisite for the field to the left.
Categories
Adds a pair of standard parent categories:
- [[Category:Nationality people by occupation|Profession]]
- [[Category:Profession by nationality|Nationality]]
If the "Supercategory" parameter is used, the following categories will be generated instead:
- [[Category:Nationality people by occupation|Profession]]
- [[Category:Supercategory by nationality|Nationality]]
If the "Supercategory2" parameter is also used, the following categories will be generated instead:
- [[Category:Nationality people by occupation|Profession]]
- [[Category:Supercategory by nationality|Nationality]]
- [[Category:Supercategory2 by nationality|Nationality]]
Self-checking
The template tests for the existence of [[Category:Profession by nationality]] or [[Category:Supercategory by nationality]] or [[Category:Supercategory2 by nationality]], and alters its output as follows:
- If the "Supercategory" parameter is supplied, but [[Category:Supercategory by nationality]] does not exist, then [[Category:Supercategory]] will be used instead)
- If the "Supercategory" and "Supercategory2" parameters are both supplied, but neither [[Category:Supercategory by nationality]] nor [[Category:Supercategory2 by nationality]] exists, then [[Category:Supercategory]] will be used instead)
- When neither the "Supercategory" or "Supercategory2" parameters supplied, the template tests for the existence of [[Category:Profession by nationality]]. If that does not exist, then [[Category:Profession]] will be used instead)
Examples
Example from Category:American writers:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Writers |Nationality=American |Country=United States}}
Supercategory
The Supercategory parameter allows another category to be added between the "nationality people by occupation" and this occupation category. This for occupations which are a subset of another ocupation.
Example from Category:American diarists:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Diarists |Supercategory=Writers |Nationality=American |Country=United States}}
Example from Category:Irish autobiographers:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession=Autobiographers |Nationality=Irish | Country=Ireland |Supercategory=Biographers}}
Example from Category:German civil engineers:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession=civil engineers |Nationality=German |Country=Germany |Supercategory=engineers}}
Supercategory2
The Supercategory2 parameter is for use when an occupation is an intersection of two other occupations.
Example from Category:British film score composers:
{{fooian fooers |Profession=Film score composers |Nationality=British |Supercategory=film people |Supercategory2=composers |Country=United Kingdom}}
Example from Category:Irish magazine editors:
{{Fooian fooers |Profession=magazine editors |Nationality=Irish |Country=Ireland |Supercategory=editors |Supercategory2=magazine people}}
Modifications
In most cases, should not be substituted.
Please note that this template needs to be modified for some categories. Some nationalities are listed as "People from Foo" instead of "Fooian". One such case is Northern Ireland, for which there is a specialised template {{ Fooers from Northern Ireland}}. Other cases such as People from Georgia (country) should use {{ Fooers from Boo}}.
The template is also able to resolve redirects where required. The profession usually has to be converted to lowercase when used after a nationality, but this generates an incorrect parent for cases that require a capital letter; e.g. the template on Category:Scottish Shakespearean actors generates lowercase Category:British shakespearean actors for the parent nationality. The easiest workaround is to place a category redirect page at Category:British shakespearean actors, and then the template resolves this to the correct target Category:British Shakespearean actors.
In other instances, the template may be substituted and edited in place.
