Template:Infobox weather event/Aus/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox weather event/Aus. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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.
Tropical low | Category 1 tropical cyclone | Category 2 tropical cyclone | Category 3 severe tropical cyclone | Category 4 severe tropical cyclone | Category 5 severe tropical cyclone |
<33 kn, <61 km/h, <37 mph | 34–47 kn, 62–87 km/h, 39–54 mph | 48–64 kn, 88–118 km/h, 55–73 mph | 65–85 kn, 120–157 km/h, 74–97 mph | 86–106 kn, 159–196 km/h, 98–122 mph | >107 kn, >198 km/h, >123 mph |
TemplateData
A subbox for displaying meteorological information for a storm according to data from a given agency. Should be used adjacent to an 'Infobox weather event' template, and before an 'Infobox weather event/Footer' template.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Child display? | child | Whether this is a child box or not. Use `yes`, unless you're using this box standalone.
| Boolean | optional |
Body style | bodystyle | Custom CSS for the box
| String | optional |
Basin | basin | Basin of the storm. Controls the name of the category, if the category supports basin-specific names.
| 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.
| 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".
| Content | suggested |
Scale | scale | Scale used to quantify the meteorological data. If the scale is used by multiple agencies, consider supplying "agency".
| 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.
| Number | suggested |
Maximum winds prefix | winds-prefix | Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.
| 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.
| Number | suggested |
Maximum gusts prefix | gusts-prefix | Prefix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.
| 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).
| Number | suggested |
Lowest pressure prefix | pressure-prefix | Prefix for the pressure. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'.
| 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.
| Boolean | optional |
