This is the "Acceptance Record" template. This template is used from within all epistemic element templates to create subobjects for all individual acceptances/rejections. The template can be in principle used by any type of entity that can be accepted. Normally, the template is called from the same page for which the record should be created. If it should be called from another page, the Target parameter should indicate the page for which an acceptance record is to be created. At the moment the template is used by theories and topics.

It should be called in the following format:

{{Acceptance Record
|Target= // the full page name of the epistemic element. If empty, the {{FULLPAGENAME}} will be used instead
|Community=
|Accepted From Era=
|Accepted From Year=
|Accepted From Day=
|Accepted From Month=
|Accepted From Approximate=
|Acceptance Indicators=
|Superseded=
|Still Accepted=
|Accepted Until Era=
|Accepted Until Year=
|Accepted Until Day=
|Accepted Until Month=
|Accepted Until Approximate=
|Rejection Indicators=
}}

The template creates a subobject with the following properties:

  • SubObjectCategory = "Acceptance Record".
  • Element - the full page name of the epistemic element.
  • Topic - the questions the theory is trying to answer (used only for theories). If a theory answers more than one question, the values are stored in a comma separated fashion, i.e. with |+sep=,
  • Parent Topic - the parent topics of the topics for ease of access (used only for theories). If there are more than one parent topic, the values are stored in a comma separated fashion, i.e. with |+sep=,.
  • Community - the community that accepted the element.
  • Accepted From - the start of the period of acceptance; if empty, the element was accepted since the inception of the community.
  • Superseded - The list of elements superseded by the target. If not empty, the acceptance records of the superseded elements will be adjusted such that their rejection date matches the acceptance date of this element. This is a work in progress.
  • Still Accepted - if Yes, the element is still accepted and Accepted Until fields are empty
  • Accepted Until - the end of the period of acceptance; if empty, the element is still accepted by the community.

NOTE: All date fields include all normal date parts (Year, Month, Day, etc.).
