Template documentation

The anatomy infobox "Template:Infobox artery" displays a right-side infobox showing information about arteries of the body, allowing a clickable map and 2 images to be displayed at the top of the box.

Usage

Artery: Pulmonary artery
Anterior (frontal) view of the opened heart. (Pulmonary artery labeled at upper right.)
Diagram of the alveoli with both cross-section and external view.
Latin	truncus pulmonalis, arteria pulmonalis
Gray's	subject #141 543
Source	right ventricle
Vein	pulmonary vein
Precursor	truncus arteriosus
MeSH	Pulmonary+Artery
Dorlands / Elsevier	Pulmonary artery

The template is invoked using double-brace syntax (with the result similar to that shown at the right), coded as follows:

{{Infobox artery
| Name       = Pulmonary artery
| Latin      = truncus pulmonalis,
    arteria pulmonalis
| GraySubject= 141
| GrayPage   = 543
| Imagemap ={{Heart diagram 250px}}
| Caption  = Anterior (frontal)
    view of the opened heart. 
    (Pulmonary artery upper right.)
| Image2     = Alveoli diagram.png
| Caption2   = Diagram of the
    alveoli with both cross-section
    and external view.
| BranchFrom  = [[right ventricle]]
| BranchTo    =
| Vein        = [[pulmonary vein]]
| Precursor   = truncus arteriosus
| Supplies    =
| MeshName    = Pulmonary+Artery
| MeshNumber  = A07.231.114.715
| Dorlands    = nine/000956217
| DorlandsID  = Pulmonary artery
}}

Parameters

The template parameters are (Camel case requiring upper/lowercase):

• Name = English name for structure.
• Latin = Latin name for structure.
• GraySubject = Gray's Anatomy subject number, such as: 189.
• GrayPage = Gray's Anatomy page number, such as: 825.
• Image = top image (omit "Image:").
• Width = width of top image (in pixels, default=250).
• Caption = caption under top image.
• Image2 = 2nd top image (omit "Image:").
• Width2 = width of 2nd image (in pixels, default=Width).
• Caption2 = caption under 2nd top image.
• BranchFrom = such as "right ventricle"
• BranchTo    = any text
• Vein = such as "pulmonary vein"
• Precursor = such as "truncus arteriosus"
• Supplies = any text
• MeshName = MeSH name
• MeshNumber = MeSH number code
• Dorlands = Dorlands url number, such as: nine/000956217 (before .htm in url).
• DorlandsID = Dorlands article name, such as "pulmonary artery".

• BoxWidth   = width of infobox (in em/pixels, default 20em), also "boxwidth"
• ColumnGap =     - extra spaces between infobox columns.

Most parameters here start with a capital letter.

Template implementation notes

The template was implemented in November 2005 using the MediaWiki parser-functions language (which was updated in January 2008 to run with a recursive descent parser).

Changes should be made and verified in a test-version of the template copied into user-space (as a page named "User:XXX/Template:Infobox artery"). Changes can be checked by editing actual articles by edit-preview (not Save) with the template-brace calls prefixed by "{{User:XXX/Template:...}}" but never saved that way.

When modifying the template or documentation ("/doc" subpage), it is often necessary to purge the template cache (using "action=purge"), such as to display modified documentation:

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

Running old versions 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 "action=purge").
