Template:Infobox weather event/scale

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

Usage

This is a meta-template used by all of the tropical cyclone scale subboxes for Template:Infobox weather event. It is used to standardize all scale-based subboxes. This meta-template, in turn, relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology.

You can create a new scale box using other scale boxes as a references, or use you can use the following form for an easier and guided experience.

TemplateData

Meta-template for all weather event infobox scale subboxes which contain agency-based tropical cyclone scale information and meteorological data.

Template parameters[Edit template data]
This template prefers block formatting of parameters.
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Child display?	`child`	Whether this is a child box or not. Use `yes`, unless you're using this box standalone. Default yes Example yes	Boolean	optional
Body style	`bodystyle`	Custom CSS for the box Default border-collapse: collapse	String	optional
Basin	`basin`	Basin of the storm. Controls the name of the category, if the category supports basin-specific names. Suggested values `atl` `epac` `satl` `wpac`	String	optional
Header text	`header`	Header text to show. Overrides category name if provided.	Content	optional
Header style	`header-style`	Controls the style of the subbox header. This header usually includes the category of the storm or the storm type, if a category is not applicable. Default font-size: 100%; background-color: #{{Storm colour\|{{{category\|}}}}}	String	optional
Agency	`agency`	Agency issuing the meteorological data. If the agency uses multiple scales, or uses a scale that is used by multiple agencies, consider also supplying "scale". Example [[National Weather Service\|NWS]]	Content	suggested
Scale	`scale`	Scale used to quantify the meteorological data. If the scale is used by multiple agencies, consider supplying "agency". Example [[Saffir–Simpson scale\|SSHWS]]	Content	suggested
Maximum sustained winds	`winds`	The maximum sustained winds of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum wind gusts (provided with "gusts"). Supply value in knots. Example 124	Number	suggested
Maximum winds prefix	`winds-prefix`	Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum winds suffix	`winds-suffix`	Suffix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Maximum wind gust	`gusts`	The maximum wind gust of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum sustained winds (provided with "winds"). Supply value in knots. Example 164	Number	suggested
Maximum gusts prefix	`gusts-prefix`	Prefix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum gusts suffix	`gusts-suffix`	Suffix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Beaufort scale	`beaufort-scale` `beaufort scale`	The maximum sustained winds on the Beaufort scale. Rarely used except for historical storms; consider using "winds" instead.	Number	optional
Lowest pressure	`pressure`	Lowest pressure, usually measured near the storm's center. Supply value in hectopascals/millibars (hPa/mbar). Example 975	Number	suggested
Lowest pressure prefix	`pressure-prefix`	Prefix for the pressure. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Lowest pressure suffix	`pressure-suffix`	Suffix for the lowest pressure. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Category only?	`categoryonly`	Only return the category of this storm as a string. Useful if you only want the category of a storm based on meteorological data, but not the actual box itself. Default no	Boolean	optional
Storm auto category	`auto-category`	The automatic category of the storm. This defines the category of the storm if a category parameter was not explicitly provided.	String	suggested
