Template:Infobox weather event/Aus/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

This is a meta-template used by tropical cyclone scale subboxes for Template:Infobox weather event. It is used to standardize all Bureau of Meteorology scale-based subboxes. This automatically provides the category, meaning the only parameters that need to be provided are |agency= for the issuing agency.

For examples, see Template:Infobox weather event/BOM or Template:Infobox weather event/BMKG.
