Template:Infobox isotopes (meta)/doc

From Elite Dangerous Wiki

__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

This page uses the meta infobox {{Infobox isotopes (meta)}} for the element isotopes infobox.

This infobox contains the table of § Main isotopes, and the § Standard atomic weight. For example, {{Infobox uranium isotopes}}, as used on page Isotopes of uranium.

The main isotopes table is reused in the regular Infobox: {{Infobox uranium}}.

Main isotopes table

{{Isotopes/main/table/doc}}

The Main isotopes table is build by entering one template for each isotope-row. 

{{Infobox isotopes (meta)
...
|isotopes =
{{Isotopes/main/isotope |link= |mn= |sym=
 |na= |hl=
 |ref=
 |dm1= |perc1= |ref1= |link1= |pn1= |ps1= 
 |dm2= |perc2= |ref2= |link2= |pn2= |ps2=
 }}
...
}}

 The single-row parameters, commented
 "!"=could be required;
  ..1&ndash;4 refer to the decay mode dm#=
{{Isotopes/main/isotope
 |mn    =! massnumber
 |sym   =! symbol
 |link  =  isotope page: uranium-232
 |ref   =  reference for the isotope-row
 |na    =! natural abundancy (can be: synth, trace)
 |hl    =! half-life (can be: stable)

 |dm1   =! decay mode #1
 |perc1 =  % decay
 |ref1  =  reference for decay mode #1
 |link1 =  product isotope page
 |pn1   =! product mass number
 |ps1   =! product symbol 

 |dm2   =  decay mode #2 etc.
 |dm3   =  decay mode #3 etc.
 |dm4   =  decay mode #4 etc.
 }}
  • For all code and formatted input: when not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

abundance, half-life trace, synthetic, stable by keyboard code

  • Parameters |na=, |hl= can handle simple keyboard code input. This simplifies typing:
|na=trace, synth, |hl=stable, obs stable.
|na=synth_link will link → synth
See also: percentage abundance, below.
When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

decay mode (β−β−) by keyboard code

  • Decay modes |dm1–4= can be entered as keyboard code:
|dm1=b+b+ (instead of |dm1=&beta;<sup>+</sup>&beta;<sup>+</sup>), will show β+β+.
Also, to wikilink:
|dm1=b+b+_link → β+β+.
When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).
basic dm1–4 code rules
  • α ← a, β ← b, γ ← g, ε ← e
Note: plain Latin letter e used in "e+" only. (No confusion with "ee" for εε/ee).
  • x+, x− ← + &minus; (superscript = inline)
  • - − – - (keyboard hyphen = minus)
  • A≠a: keep uppercase: SF ← SF (sf)

percentage abundance, decay mode formatting

  • Half-life time: usually {{val}} to format|hl={{val|12.3|e=4|u=Ey}}} →12.3×104 Ey. Do not link the unit.
  • Percentage input |na=, |perc1, perc2, perc3, perc4=
No need for {{val}}, plain "12.34%" will do.
The number willbe rounded to 3 sigfig.
When dm-% |perc1=0.003%, then formatted as "<0.01%".
When dm-% |perc1=2.7e-12, then formatted as "≪0.01%".
  • To evade this rule, use {{val}}: |na={{val|0.9995|u=%}} (e.g., hydrogen)
Do not add uncertainties "(5)" or "±0.3"

add reference

  • USe dedicated reference parameters:
  • |ref-table=<ref>... in column header
  • |ref-nubase2020=yes/no adds {{NUBASE2020}} in column header
  • |ref= per isotope
  • |ref= per decay mode

Do not add reference with input value: dm1=α<ref>..</ref>

Standard atomic weight

The Infobox contains the table of Main Isotopes (more below), and the standard atomic weight (as published by CIAAW, see {{Infobox element/symbol-to-saw/CIAAW-saw-element-page}}.

usage

This is the Infobox for an elements main isotopes. The meta-templatee is {{Infobox isotopes (meta)}} (META)

It contains a table of main isotopes and eventually the standard atomic weight.

This template is reused in {{Infobox <element>}} as a child Infobox (|child=yes).

As of Jan 2023, a 'Main isotope' is conforming MOS:MAINISOTOPE (under construction, see WP:ELEMENTS What is a "Main_isotope"?)

Each isotope has its own row, with decay modes:

Standard atomic weight

For stable elements, the formal standard atomic weight (s.a.w.) is added, as published by CIAAW. When the s.a.w. is in interval-notation, its conventional value is added too. Data is retrieved from central s.a.w. values lists, formatting is by {{Infobox element/standard atomic weight format}} (same as {{infobox element}}). Example:

Isotopes of lithium (3Li)

Isotope templates overview
Template:Infobox isotopes (meta) invokes Module:Navbox using Lua.

Usage

This template can be used to make a standard navigation box. It is intended for use within another template that standardises the title and contents of the box (see Template:ShipNavbox). This template SHOULD NOT be used directly within articles, as it creates a maintenance burden to do so whenever the contents of the box have to be updated.

The purpose of this template is to standardise the attributes of all navigation boxes, for example, their colours and other CSS attributes. The template is fairly simple, and could be extended to add other features in the future. Using this template allows changes to be implemented much quicker and easier than editing each template separately.

Syntax

{{navbox
|state      = uncollapsed, collapsed, plain, autocollapse (default)
|name       = mandatory - name of the template
|style      = optional - style for the whole table
|title      = mandatory - navbox header
|gtitleN    = optional - title of N-th group of items
|styleN     = optional - style for groupN; i.e. text-align
|groupN     = mandatory - list of groups of items
|fstyle     = optional - style for footer ; i.e. text-align
|footer     = optional - navbox footer
}}
  • Groups: Currently there is no technical limit to the maximum number of groups.
    • Groups of items can be added as parameters: group1, group2, group3, ... up to groupN.
  • Group title: Each group has its own title parameter: gtitle1, gtitle2, gtitle3, ... up to gtitleN. Note that the default width for the first column is 15%.
  • Group style: Style may also be customised to each group in: style1, style2, style3, ... up to styleN.
    • Note that neither the title nor the items have any wiki-links built into the template. As a result, users of the template are free to use wiki-links as they wish.
  • Line breaks: Line-breaks (<br />) are unnecessary, as text wrapping is done automatically by the template. This also includes links and text in gtitleN and groupN.
  • Bullets: Create unordered lists with lines beginning with *.
  • Pipe links: Because of the nature of template syntax, it may be necessary to use Template:! ({{!}}).

States

  • Autocollapse: By default, the state of a navbox is "autocollapsed". This means that if the number of navboxes in a page exceeds the maximum allocation of the collapsible navboxes, then the remaining navboxes are collapsed automatically. For more information (or to change the setting), see MediaWiki:Common.js.
    • Currently, the autocollapse allocation is 2 (see MediaWiki:Common.js). This means that if there are 3 navboxes in a page, the third and subsequent navboxes will be collapsed automatically.
  • Uncollapsed: Forces the navbox to be displayed.
    • All of the navboxes in this documentation are in the uncollapsed state.
  • Collapsed: The reverse of uncollapsed. Forces the navbox to be hidden instead.
    • Navboxes with a height of more than 300 pixels will also be collapsed automatically. For more information (or to change the setting), see MediaWiki:Common.js.
  • Plain: Removes the "show/hide" link.

Sub-groups

  • For larger navboxes, it may be necessary to include sub-groups within a particular group of items. It is also possible to collapsible navboxes within the parent navbox, see Collapsible sub-groups.
  • To create sub-groups within {{navbox}}, certain parameters are to be included:
    • The parent navbox group (i.e. group2 in the example below) requires the type parameter (gtype2 = Subgroup).
    • The nested navbox (sub-group) requires the inclusion of the sub-group parameter (subgroup = yes). This enables the template to differentiate between the sub-group and the parent navbox.
{{navbox
|name    =
|title   =
|gtitle1 =
|group1  =
|gtitle2 =  
|gtype2  = Subgroup (mandatory)
|group2  = 
  {{navbox
  |subgroup = yes (mandatory)
  |gtitle1  = 
  |group1   =
  |gtitle2  = 
  |group2   = 
  }}
}}

Collapsible sub-groups

  • For extremely long navboxes, it is recommended to use collapsible navboxes within the parent navbox. Further sub-groups can then be added to these collapsible navboxes.
  • To create collapsible sub-groups within {{navbox}}, these parameters need to be included:
    • The parent navbox is almost always uncollapsed (state=uncollapsed).
    • The parent navbox group (i.e. group1 in the example below) requires the type parameter (gtype1 = Subgroup).
    • The nested collapsible navbox requires the inclusion of the collapsible parameter (collapsible = yes). This enables the template to differentiate between the collapsible navbox and the parent navbox.
    • The nested collapsible navbox is forcefully collapsed (state=collapsed).
{{navbox
|state  = uncollapsed
|name   = 
|gtype1 = Subgroup
|group1 = 
  {{navbox
  |collapsible = yes
  |state   = collapsed
  |title   = 
  |gtitle1 = 
  |group1  = 
  |gtitle2 = 
  |group2  = 
  }}
}}

Use of images

  • The use of images in navboxes is permitted, but please resize the images to keep them small. Inventory-sized images (25-30 pixels) are recommended.
  • Please use {{t|plink}} to create links with images. Use {{t|plink}} for any case where text is not desired after the link. It functions the same as {{t|plink}}, but it does not produce a wikilink in text. Use {{t|chatl}} to link chatheads. These templates create links for both the image and text (except for {{t|plink}}) using far less wikicode than the standard syntax.

Link and file share the same name 

{{plink|Item}}

File name differs from the link 

{{plink|Item|File}}

Link and file share the same name, but different text is desired to display 

{{plink|Item|alt=Text}}

File name differs from the link and different text is desired to display 

{{plink|Item|File|alt=Text}}

Categorising

Navboxes are very useful for transcluding categories onto a large number of pages that share both a trait and the navigation box. For example: Template:ShipNavbox transcludes Category:Ships onto every page that uses it.

There are 2 methods of categorising pages with navboxes:

The first way is with {{t|Ctg}}. This is the preferred method, and can be used in most cases. The rules and operations for the Category handler template are very simple; however, they are enough to produce the desired results on most pages.

Categorisation should only be used on a template for large-scale addition. It is unhelpful, for example, to use a rule that only applies to 1 page.

Examples

To see the following navboxes in action, see Template:Navbox.

Single line navbox with centered list

{{navbox
|name    = 
|title   = 
|style1  = text-align:center
|group1  =
}}
{{navbox
|name    = 
|title   = 
|gtitle1 = 
|group1  = 
|footer  = Centered footer
}}
{{navbox
|name    = 
|title   = 
|gtitle1 = 
|group1  = 
|fstyle  = text-align:right
|footer  = Right-aligned footer
}}

Multiple line navbox

{{navbox
|name    = 
|title   = 
|gtitle1 = Group title 1
|group1  = 
|gtitle2 = Group title 2
|group2  = 
|gtitle3 = Group title 3
|group3  = 
}}

Collapsed navbox

{{navbox
|state   = collapsed
|name    = 
|title   = 
|style1  = text-align:center
|group1  = 
}}

Plain navbox with Tnavbar

{{navbox
|state   = plain
|name    = 
|title   = 
|style1  = text-align:center
|group1  = 
}}

Plain navbox without Tnavbar

{{navbox
|state   = plain
|title   = 
|style1  = text-align:center
|group1  = 
}}

Complicated navbox

{{navbox
|state   = uncollapsed
|name    = 
|title   = 
|gtitle1 = Level 1 Title 1
|group1  = 
|gtitle2 = Level 1 Title 2
|group2  = 
|gtitle3 = Level 1 Title 3
|group3  = 
|gtitle4 = Level 1 Title 4
|group4  = 
|gtitle5 = Level 1 Title 5
|gtype5  = Subgroup
|group5  = 
  {{navbox
  |subgroup = Yes
  |gtitle1  = Level 2 Title 1
  |group1   =
  |gtitle2  = Level 2 Title 2
  |group2   =
  |gtitle3  = Level 2 Title 3
  |gtype3   = Subgroup
  |group3   = 
    {{navbox
    |subgroup = Yes
    |gtitle1  = Level 3 Title 1
    |group1   =
    |gtitle2  = Level 3 Title 2
    |group2   =
    }}
  |gtitle4  = Level 2 Title 4
  |group4   = 
  }}
|gtitle6 = Level 1 Title 6
|group6  = 
|gtitle7 = Level 1 Title 7
|group7  = 
|fstyle  = 
|footer  = 
}}

Preventing unwanted documentation

The Navbox template's documentation is automatically transcluded under the navbox on any Template namespace page. It is not transcluded when used as a sub-group or collapsible sub-group template (subgroup= yes or collapsible=yes).

Should the documentation appear when it is unwanted, it can be hidden by setting the doc parameter doc=no on the template. In most cases, the doc parameter is NOT used and the parameter is removed completely.
