Template:ANEWS archive nav/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:ANEWS archive nav. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template creates links to the previous and next versions of the administrators' newsletter on which this template is transcluded. By contrast, Template:ANEWS nav creates links to the previous and next versions of the most recent newsletter; that is, the newsletter for the current month.
This allows users to easily navigate chronologically through the newsletter archive via links on each newsletter.

Example
On Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2018/1, the template would produce:
| Previous archive | Current archive | Next archive |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2017/12 | Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2018/1 | Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/2018/2 |
Definitions
This is maybe the second time that I've used parser functions in a template, so I apologize for the rustiness of the implementation – it's rather difficult to read. Below are a few definitions that might aid in readability. Mz7 (talk) 05:37, 7 February 2018 (UTC) <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> this year = doc this month =
previous year = Expression error: Unrecognized word "this". previous month = Expression error: Unrecognized word "this".
next year = Expression error: Unrecognized word "this". next month = Expression error: Unrecognized word "this".
if this month == 1, then
previous issue = Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/previous year/previous month
otherwise,
previous issue = Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/this year/previous month
current issue = Template:ANEWS archive nav/doc
if this month == 12, then
next issue = Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/next year/next month
otherwise,
next issue = Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/this year/next month
