This template provides an overview of the OLPC activity in a country. You call the template filling in all the parameters, where some of the parameters are special numbers.

Here's an example of what to put in your wiki page:

{{Country_box|
  Country=Peru|
  Code=PE |              
  Wikipedia=Peru|
  Support=7|
  Deployment=4|
  Keyboard=[[OLPC_Argentina_Keyboard|Spanish Layout]]|
  Spoken=Spanish (es)|
  Written=Spanish (es)|
  Spoken2=English (en)}}

These are the parameters:

  • Country - ISO country name
  • Code - ISO two letter country code
  • Wikipedia - The name of the English Wikipedia article unless its just the country name
  • Support - Commitment of government support to OLPC
  1. Unknown
  2. Low and not OLPC Priority
  3. Low and OLPC Priority
  4. High Level Interest
  5. Commitment in Principal
  6. Sponsored Trials
  7. Contingent Adoption
  8. Adoption
  • Deployment - Progress on deployed laptops into country.
  1. Unknown
  2. None
  3. Demonstration (under 50 machines)
  4. Trial (50 to 500 machines)
  5. Intermediate Trial (500 to 5000 machines)
  6. Wide adoption (over 5000 machines)}}
  • Keyboard - Keyboard Layout. Please use a link like [[OLPC_Argentina_Keyboard|Spanish Layout]]
  • Spoken - Primary spoken language.
  • Written - Primary written language.
  • Spoken2 - Secondary spoken language(s).
  • Written2 - Secondary written language(s).
For languages, please use both the English name of the language and the two (or, if none, three) letter language code for the language. You may use a link like [[Spanish language|Spanish (es)]]

Using the template will add your page to the as well as subcategories for the particular levels of Government Support and Deployment, e.g., and. If there are any missing parameters, the page will also belong to. The template works well although floating tables can always have troubles with narrow displays. Also, be aware of a Wikipedia bug that a change to the way this template adds categories may take an edit or some time for the page caches to pick up new categories.
