Use this to create a category of the form "YYY0s disasters in CountryName", where "CountryName" is a valid name of a country and "YYY0s" is a 4-digit decade.

- Category:1980s disasters in China
- Category:2010s disasters in India
Usage
සංස්කරණයNormal usage
සංස්කරණය{{YYY0s disasters in countryname category header}}
The normal usage requires no parameters, because the template looks up the other data.
e.g. on Category:1950s disasters in the United States, no parameters are needed
The other needed data is:
- the adjectival form of the country in which the country is located. This is looked up by Template:GetAdjectiveFromCountryName
- the continent(s) in which the country is located. This is looked up by Template:Country2continent
If either of those lookups fails, then an error is reported unless the required data is supplied by an optional parameter.
That may be due to this category being misnamed, or it may be due to an omission in the lookup table used by Template:GetAdjectiveFromCountryName or Template:Country2continent. (Some former countries may have been omitted. Also, when country has been renamed, the lookup uses only the current country name).
If a lookup fails, then the template creates no output other than an error message. If you are satisfied that the category is correctly named, use the one of the optional parameters below.
Optional parameters
සංස්කරණය|nationality=Fooishbypasses the lookup of the nationality, and uses "Fooish"|continent1=Atlantisbypasses the lookup of the continent, and uses "Atlantis".|continent2=Lemurisbypasses the lookup of the continent, and adds a second continent: "Lemuria"|parentcountry=AnotherCountryis available for use when a country is part of another country.
e.g. on Category:2000s disasters in Hong Kong, use{{YYY0s disasters in countryname category header|parentcountry=China}}|diagnose=yesturns on diagnostics, which may help if the template doesn't work as expected
