This documentation is transcluded from Template:Mineralnavigation/doc.

Usage

This template helps the reader to navigate to upper categories corresponding to upper rank taxa.

Note: if you want to edit this template, first try your modifications on {{Mineralnavigation/sandbox}}.You can then test your edits in {{Mineralnavigation/testcases}}.
When the new version is ready, ask an administrator to move it to the main template. You can do that by putting a {{Edit request}} in the template talk page and explaining that the admin just needs to copy the sandbox code into the main template.

Sample

{{Mineralnavigation|
classification=Nickel–Strunz10|
Class|Silicates|
Subclass|Inosilicates|
Group|Amphibole|
Subgroup|Calcic Amphibole|
Mineral|Tremolite|
code=09.DE.10}}

will result in

IMA/CNMNC – Nickel–Strunz classification 10 ed, as on Mindat.org/strunz: Class: Silicates • Subclass: Inosilicates • Group: Amphibole • Subgroup: Calcic Amphibole • Mineral: Tremolite Nickel–Strunz code: 09.DE.10

Ranks

Singular english ranks should be used: Class, Subclass, Structural supergroup, Structural group, Division, Subdivision, Supergroup, Group, Subgroup, Family, Mineral

For intermediate ranks, use the syntax without separator like Subclass and Subgroup (not "sub-class", nor "sub class")

A structural supergroup and a structural group on Wikimedia is a supergroup/ group that crosses class or subclass boudary.

If you use incorrect ranks, the article/category will be shown in Category:Pages with incorrect mineralogy template usage.

IMA/CNMNC mineral classes/subclasses

Only following IMA/CNMNC mineral classes/subclasses are allowed:

• Classification of minerals (non silicates)
  • Class: native elements
  • Class: Category:Sulfides, selenides, tellurides
  • Class: sulfosalts
  • Class: halides
  • Class: oxides
  • Class: hydroxides
  • Class: arsenites
    • (including antimonites, bismuthites, sulfites, selenites and tellurites)
  • Class: carbonates
  • Class: nitrates
    • (very small class)
  • Class: borates
    • Subclass: nesoborates
    • Subclass: soroborates
    • Subclass: cycloborates
    • Subclass: inoborates
    • Subclass: phylloborates
    • Subclass: tectoborates
  • Class: Category:Sulfates, selenates, tellurates
  • Class: Category:Chromates (mineral)
  • Class: Category:Molybdates (mineral)
  • Class: Category:Tungstates (mineral)
  • Class: Category:Phosphates (mineral)
  • Class: arsenates
  • Class: Category:Vanadates (mineral)
  • Class: Category:Organic compounds (mineral)
• Classification of minerals (silicates)
  • Class: Category:Silicates
    • Subclass: Category:Nesosilicates
    • Subclass: Category:Sorosilicates
    • Subclass: Category:Cyclosilicates
    • Subclass: Category:Inosilicates
    • Subclass: Category:Phyllosilicates
    • Subclass: Category:Tectosilicates
    • Subclass: germanates
      • (very small subclass)

• Notes:
  • Class: sulfides, selenides, tellurides is used for structural supergroups/groups in the "Nickel–Strunz classification, Class: 02" sense too
  • Class: oxides is used for structural supergroups/groups in the "Nickel–Strunz classification, Class: 04" sense too
  • Class: sulfates, selenates, tellurates is used for structural supergroups/groups in the "Nickel–Strunz classification, Class: 07" sense too
  • Class: phosphates is used for structural supergroups/groups in the "Nickel–Strunz classification, Class: 08" sense too

Content rules

• Rule 1: Red links:
  There should be no red links unless it's very likely the category will be created in the near future. This is because taxonavigation is not a taxobox, but a help to navigate between existing hierarchical categories.

Parameter code=

The Nickel–Strunz code comes from the 10 ed (pending publication) on Mindat.org.

Parameter classification=

Under discussion
