Template:Japanese yen
¥
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge] Relevant discussion at | → Template talk:Currency#Suggestions for a standard set of options for each template |
This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "¥", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Japanese yen article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.
Usage
Additional text like "million" or "trillion" must be placed outside the template, typically preceded by a non-breaking space (see example below).
Example:
Link
The parameter |link=yes may be used to link ¥ to the article Japanese yen. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.
Example:
{{¥|123.45|link=yes}}→ ¥123.45
Inflation calculation
The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1868 ≤ year < 2019), the equivalent value represented in 2019 yen will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.
Examples:
{{¥|100|1867}}→ ¥100{{¥|100|1868}}→ ¥100 (equivalent to ¥381,890 in 2019){{¥|100|1966}}→ ¥100 (equivalent to ¥399.68 in 2019){{¥|100|1966|link=yes}}→ ¥100 (equivalent to ¥399.68 in 2019){{¥|100|2018}}→ ¥100 (equivalent to ¥100.19 in 2019){{¥|100|2019}}→ ¥100{{¥|100|2025}}→ ¥100{{¥|100|2026}}→ ¥100
Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest yen (instead of the nearest sen or rin), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.
Examples:
{{¥|10|1966}}→ ¥10 (equivalent to ¥39.97 in 2019){{¥|10|1966|round=0}}→ ¥10 (equivalent to ¥40 in 2019){{¥|10|1966|about=yes}}→ ¥10 (equivalent to about ¥40 in 2019){{¥|1000|1966|round=2}}→ ¥1,000 (equivalent to ¥3,996.79 in 2019){{¥|1000|1966|round=-2}}→ ¥1,000 (equivalent to ¥4,000 in 2019){{¥|1000|1966|round=-2|about=yes}}→ ¥1,000 (equivalent to about ¥4,000 in 2019)
