قالب:Infobox weather event

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

قالب:Infobox weather event/doc/adoption This template creates a completely modular weather infobox, which aims to support almost all severe weather events and allow modularity. Each of the subboxes are developed with modularity in mind. TemplateData will be available for these boxes soon to ease adding infoboxes to existing articles.

The primary infobox (this infobox) allows for a storm's image, name, and meteorological history. Meteorological data such as storm category and intensity or other data such as damages and deaths, are provided through subboxes. All usages must be followed by Template:Infobox weather event/Footer to close the infobox (exceptions apply; see below).

This infobox aims to replace the current weather-related infoboxes: {{Infobox tropical cyclone}}, {{Infobox storm}}, and {{Infobox tropical cyclone current}}. See Template:Infobox weather event/Feature parity for a comparison of parameters in other infoboxes with this infobox. Please do not use this infobox on flood articles since its usage is controversial. Please use {{Infobox flood}} instead.

Usage

Winds and gusts units are always in knots. Pressure is always in millibars/hectopascals. These are non-configurable values in order to standardize and maintain consistency between all boxes. Damages are always in United States dollars, unless explicitly set with |currency=.

Basic

A very minimal box can be created using the following wikitext.

Wikitext Output

Header

Up to two images can be displayed by the box at a given time. The image displayed may be the storm's satellite image (using |image=), its track map (using |track=), its forecast map (using |forecast=), or a combination of the two. The track map and forecast map may not be shown together. Caption, alternative text, and sizing can be set relative to each of the images above

Main parameter Caption Alternative text Upright (scaling) Width
|image= |caption= |alt= |image-upright= |image-width=
|track= |track-caption= |track-alt= |track-upright= |track-width=
|forecast= |forecast-caption= |forecast-alt= |forecast-upright= |forecast-width=

All parameters of {{Infobox weather event/History}} is usable in the header box. You can add in another meteorological history section for long-lasting storms which experienced different stages.

If the event is a single event and does not need meteorological info, effects, or a footer, |footer=yes can be set to immediately close the template, skipping the need for a footer.

History

The meteorological history subbox allows an infobox to contain multiple meteorological history boxes (aside from the one already displayed by the main template).

Tropical cyclones

Scales

Each meteorological agency has a subbox of its own, which links to the correct scale and automatically computes the category of a storm.

NWS

قالب:Infobox weather event/NWS/doc

JMA

قالب:Infobox weather event/JMA/doc

MF

قالب:Infobox weather event/MF/doc

IMD

قالب:Infobox weather event/IMD/doc

Australian scale

The Australian scale is used by multiple agencies. Multiple infoboxes are provided, each changing the issuing agency but providing the same scale.

The following templates can be used to show this scale:

خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Infobox weather event/scalebar".

Non-RSMC scales

Scale subboxes also exist for agencies which are not the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center. While the use of the JTWC subbox is generally allowed on all basins besides those which use the Saffir–Simpson scale (North Atlantic/Eastern Pacific/Central Pacific), other agency subboxes, such as those for the PAGASA (Philippines), CWB (Taiwan; subbox does not exist as of now), and PMD (Pakistan; subbox does not exist as of now) should generally be used only when the storm is not recognized by the basin's RSMC.

JTWC

PAGASA

HKO

CMA

Historical scales

These are scales that were used at some point in the past but are no longer in use.

NPMOC

قالب:Infobox weather event/NPMOC/doc

No scale

To display meteorological information in cases where an agency or scale is unavailable (such as in the case of historical storms, e.g. the 1881 Haiphong typhoon), you can directly use the /meteorology sub-box. This will remove agency and measurement interval from the box header.

By default, the category "Unknown-strength storm" will appear as the category. This can be overridden by setting |category= to any available storm category ID.

{{Infobox weather event/meteorology

قالب:Infobox weather event/Storm/doc

Current storms

For current storms, a /Current box is used to show current storm information, such as position and location. On season pages, the /History box is usually replaced with the /Current box. قالب:Infobox weather event/Current/doc The /Current box is used in conjunction with the live scale template. Every supported scale (listed above) contains a |live= parameter that can be set to yes, which will change the layout of the header to show an icon and a "Currently-active" prefix. In addition, you can use the /live meta-template to automatically set a scale box as currently-active (preferred), as seen below.

{{Infobox weather event/NWS
| winds = 150
| gusts = 175
| pressure = 902
}}
Currently-active
Category 5 major hurricane
1-minute sustained (SSHWS/NWS)

{{Infobox weather event/live|JMA
| winds = 76
| gusts = 98
| pressure = 976
}}
قالب:Infobox weather event/live

This also works for winter storms, and other boxes that use categories.

{{Infobox weather event/live|Winter storm
| RSI = 8.56
| winds = 76
| maximum-snow = 12
}}
قالب:Infobox weather event/live

Effects

This subbox provides a tally of weather event effects. This includes direct storm casualties, damages (in USD), affected regions, and infrastructural damages. The |casualties= parameter can be used to combine the |fatalities=, |injuries=, and |missing= parameters, should there be minimal or no casualties.

This box will show damages and losses in United States dollars by default. Adding a |year= parameter will also indicate the year when displaying monetary values for contextualizing cost at a specific point in time.

References may be added with |refs= or |references=. However, as much as possible, avoid placing references directly into the box and instead use article content to place references. You may also use |IBTrACS= to link to the storm's International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) entry. Using both will make both appear at the bottom row; using only references will make the row height shrink to cut down on unnecessary whitespace.

Damages and economic losses can be set to a different currency using |currency= (or |damage-currency= and |losses-currency=), and a United States dollar-equivalent conversion can be provided. This can help contextualize weather events which impact a specific area. To set the USD conversion by hand, you can use |usd-damages= and |usd-losses= respectively. You can also opt to do these conversions automatically, as long as you provide a year and an ISO country code using |country=. Note that damages and losses are not multiplied. If the damages are 3 billion United States dollars, write |damages=3000000000, not |damages=3000.

The |year= parameter need not be the year that the event made impact, but rather a year relatively close to the year that it made impact, such that damages and losses can be calculated automatically.

When additional context is required, one may use |damages-suffix= to insert footnotes. |damages-prefix= can be used to insert symbols prior to the figure. losses also has suffix and prefix parameters, |losses-suffix= and |losses-prefix=, respectively.
