Template:FloorNumber
ground floor[UK]1st floor[US]
The FloorNumber template outputs a textual floor reference, using the recommended American style; it takes an input in American style numbering. A note is also provided to explain the floor reference to the reader.
Usage
Basic usage
{{FloorNumber|US floor}}
{{FloorNumber|us=US floor}}
{{FloorNumber|uk=UK floor}}
Any one of the methods above can be used, where the floor is provided as an integer greater than 0 (or greater than or equal to 0 for UK floors). Either the first unnamed parameter or the us parameter will define the floor using the convention used by USA/Canada ('American style'). The uk parameter defines the floor using the convention used by UK/Europe/most Commonwealth contries ('British style'). If multiple of these are defined, FloorNumber will use them in this order: us, uk, 1 (first unnamed parameter), then default to first floor/UK ground floor.
American style floors define the entrance (that is level with the outside ground) as the 1st floor (use ground floor[UK]1st floor[US] or ground floor[UK]1st floor[US]), with floors incrementing above that (climbing one set of stairs puts you on the 2nd floor, then the 3rd floor, etc.).
British style floors define the entrance (that is level with the outside ground) as the ground floor (use ground floor[UK]1st floor[US]), with floors incrementing above that (climbing one set of stairs puts you on the 1st floor, then the 2nd floor, etc.).
Optional other parameters
{{FloorNumber|us=1|caps=y|nohelp=y}}
{{FloorNumber|1|caps|nohelp}}
If caps=y, or the second unnamed parameter is set to 'caps', and if the floor is the ground floor, it will be capitalized as "Ground floor". No effect for other floors.
If nohelp=y, or the third unnamed parameter is set to 'nohelp', the tooltip is suppressed.
Auto-switching
This template uses code present in MediaWiki:Gadget-skinTogglesNew.js to automatically switch between British and American styles. By default this is done by detecting the user's browser locale - if it is one of en-US en-CA es-US fr-CA it uses American style, and British style otherwise. This can be overridden by the user in the skin toggles window (cog at the top of the window).
It can also be overridden on a per-usage basis by using floornumber-override-gb or floornumber-override-us.
Examples
Examples in context, as template inputs and outputs, are below:
| Template | Result (UK) | Result (US) |
|---|---|---|

{{FloorNumber|uk=1}}
|
1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] | 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] |
{{FloorNumber|us=2}}
|
1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] | 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] |
{{FloorNumber|3}}
|
2nd floor[UK]3rd floor[US] | 2nd floor[UK]3rd floor[US] |
{{FloorNumber|1|caps|nohelp}}
|
Ground floor1st floor | Ground floor1st floor |
{{FloorNumber|22|nohelp=y}}
|

Ground floor[UK]1st floor[US] | Ground floor[UK]1st floor[US] |
Notes
This template does not yet support basements, i.e. US floors 0 and below, nor successive basements below those. The reason for this adjustment is that British floor numbering counts from zero on the ground floor. The American (US) system starts from one. The adjustment of -1 (ie, US n + -1 = UK n) ensures they start at the same place.
