Created[edit]

The anatomy infobox "Template:Infobox_Brain" was created back on 8 February 2006, by the long-term User:Arcadian, as a right-side green box, with 2 columns coded internally by using wikitable keyword colspan=3. -Wikid77 (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This template hurts my eyes; see [1] and [2] how it looks for me, something is totally wrong :/ →AzaToth 23:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. Carl, do not make jokes that other people don't understand. Fixed. --Ligulem 23:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

System field[edit]

There appears to be a reference in a few article to a "system" field, but it does not appear to be part of the template. I think it should be added so that "IsPartOf" can be used for anatomical inclusion, and "System" can be used for functional inclusion. For example, inferior colliculus can have IsPartOf = [[Tectum]] and System = [[Auditory syste]]. Right now they are both under IsPartOf. --Selket Talk 18:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good -- I have added the field. A view of it in action is now at Inferior colliculus. --Arcadian 20:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beware colspan bugs: fixed image area[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

02-Feb-2008: After several months, I noticed problems with Infobox_Brain expanding wide across the page, so I changed the original coding (from 2 years back) to use "colspan=3" now (had been "2") for images or captions, and the problem is fixed now: the infobox no longer expands wide across an article page. I also added parameter "boxwidth=20em" to allow customizing width of the infobox. Beware mismatches in the use of "colspan=2" (or 3) in other infoboxes: many wikitables have had bizarre formatting caused by incorrectly spanning multiple columns by colspan=2 or such. Since the problem had existed in Infobox_Brain for nearly 2 years, there are probably many other templates that still have colspan bugs (as of February 2008). -Wikid77 (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doc subpage[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

02-Feb-2008: I have created a typical "/doc" subpage to describe the parameters and show an example for "Template:Infobox_Brain" as standard documentation. The doc is displayed only when the full template page is displayed, not included, by using "{{template doc}}" which boxes a doc subpage in that narrow institutional-green documentation box. The example text had to be narrowed by 2 characters to fit within the green doc box without wrapping. The doc is in draft form, and more parameters should be described. -Wikid77 (talk) 21:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Purging template cache to see updates[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

29-March-2008: This is another reminder about viewing after making changes. When modifying the template or documentation ("/doc" subpage), it is often necessary to purge the template cache (by using keyword "action=purge"), such as to display modified documentation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Brain&action=purge

Running the older version of the template can be very confusing and frustrating when trying to install and verify improvements copied from test-versions of the template (so remember to use URL address keyword "action=purge"). -Wikid77 (talk) 16:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of BAMS[edit]

I've proposed removing the BAMS field on the talk page of WikiProject Anatomy here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anatomy#BaMs - please comment if interested. Tom (LT) (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Parameter update[edit]

I have updated the template parameters per discussions at WT:ANAT and {{Infobox anatomy}}. Edits have included:

  • Removing the unused "Map" parameters - redundant to the normal "Image" parameters
  • Removing FMA - autofilled from Wikidata in the parent {{Infobox anatomy}} template
  • Removing Grays - moved to Wikidata and no longer displayed in templates per consensus
  • Removing Dorlands - consensus to strip all templates of references to this proprietary, nonmaintained dictionary link.

Please direct questions to WT:ANAT or the talk page of {{Infobox anatomy}}. Cheers --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:25, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
