Template:Infobox country/doc

On, our country and region infoboxes generally emulate the style of Wikipedia for greater realism. However, the infoboxes also have additional features to cater for the different playing styles of the Miraheze community.

used to have separate templates for nations and regions, but we have a single template for both nations and region because Wikipedia uses the same approach.

The syntax or format of the parameters are detailed in the collapsed "show/hide" sections below.

Syntax

 * If, on a particular page, the default widths provided for the flag and coat-of-arms/symbol images produce an unsatisfactory result, use flag_width (as % or px) to specify the width to be used for the flag image; the remaining width is then assigned to the coat-of-arms/symbol (if included).

Trivial details
Wikipedia has a policy that advises against supporting trivial details in infoboxes, because infoboxes are supposed to describe the subject concisely. NSindex considers the following fields to be too trivial for inclusion in this template:


 * National animal: It is sufficient enough to include information about a nation’s animal within the main body, as well as at National animals.

Errors
If the template generates errors when calculating data for the Gini or HDI fields, it will add the article to Category:Country articles requiring maintenance. This only happens if the page is in the main article space, not any other namespaces.

Sandbox
A sandbox has been set up so modifications to the template may be tested before being implemented in the template proper:
