This template provides comparative information for countries which no longer exist.
Notes ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
- Many variables concern generated categories. When categories are discussed below, it is referring to this list of currently supported categories.
- This is a rather complicated template, and should be used with care to ensure functionality. Note that most fields are optional for the infobox to function correctly. If you are unsure about anything, just skip all the optional fields and ask a developer for help.
- Anyone is welcome to use the infobox. But since it is still under construction, developers may make changes to your work. This is nothing personal. Normally this is for functionality reasons, sometimes it is to test new features of the infobox.
- Some variables below may be marked as test variables. Use these with caution and remember that these variables may be changed or deleted without notice.
- Certain historical entities may inspire heated debate among some people. Neutrality and sensitivity are required when implementing this infobox.
- If you are unsure about the usage of this template, or you have any suggestions for modifications to the infobox, or if you want to know why a certain modification was made, please contact a developer or leave a comment at the talk page. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving and documenting infobox features. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving and documenting infobox features.
This infobox is a part of WikiProject Former countries.
Usage ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
- Almost all fields are optional, some fields are more optional than others. It is not expected that you fill in every single field that is shown here.
- Some fields are hidden but necessary for infobox functionality. Not all fields are displayed here.
- Some fields place the article into certain categories: see list of supported categories.
- Area (in km2) and population statistics must be given without spaces, commas or other code.
- Keep event text as short as possible—ideally only 1 line in length.
- For many entries, the infobox has been implemented by one of the main developers. Other users are welcome to implement the infobox themselves, but developers might make modifications later on—largely for functionality reasons.
- If you are unsure about the usage of this template, or if you want to know why a certain modification was made, let us know via the template talk page. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving and documenting infobox features.

Detailed instructions ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
These are the fields of information in the Infobox former countries template with a set of instructions on how to use them. Here is a brief explanation on how to read the table:
- Field name
- the fields of information that carry information used by the template
- Usage
- required means that the template will not work properly if it is excluded
- optional means that the template will work properly without it, but available information should be entered to make it as complete as possible (actively excluding or deleting information is not endorsed because it is called optional in this table)
- Type
- variable means that the template will only take fixed values; this can be dates, years, numerical or according to a defined list
- free means that the template will accept values given freely without having to adhere to the strict discipline required for variables
- wikilink means that a working wikilink must be entered either to an article or to the file name of an image
- Value
- examples or lists of values accepted by variables
- free text with wikilinks means that text and wikilinks can be entered freely without the kind of restrictions that applies to variables
- label is a short label typically fitting in a single line (no line break)
- entry is one or a few short labels separated by commas or line breaks (no more than a few lines)
- sentence is a short descriptive sentence (no more than a few lines)
- free text means that text can be entered, but wikilinks must not be used
- Description
- an instruction or a small guide how the particular field of information is used
Name ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| conventional_long_name | required | free | label (free text) | Full name in English, displayed as the title at the top of the infobox |
| native_name | optional | free | label (free text) | Name in native language(s), displayed underneath the English name. If there are multiple native languages, separate different names with line breaks. If the native language is English, leave this section blank and give only the "conventional_long_name" |
| common_name | required | variable | "country name" | This variable is not actually displayed in the box, but is a supporting variable for a number of technical uses:
|
Location ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| These variables are only used for generating categories for this article | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| continent | required | variable | Europe, South America, Oceania, etc. | If the discussed entity spanned more than one continent, list only one continent here and manually add the second category "Former countries in xxxx" as normal. |
| region | required where implemented | variable | Balkans, Italy | Give the sub-continental region that the historical entity belongs to. From here, new categories will be created if they are of a reasonable size. |
| country | required | variable | "country name" | A category-generating field, similar to "region", only now give the modern country that the historical entity belongs to. If there is more than one modern country, give the one that covers the majority of the historical territory (or the most relevant) |
Status ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| The entries here again determine category placement. For some values, related text will be displayed in a bar underneath the name. | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| status | optional | variable |
|
Status describes the relationship between the political entity and other entities, whether colonies to an empire, the (colonial) empire itself, countries with special status by the League of Nations or the UN, etc. |
| empire | optional | variable | "country name" | Give the "common name" for the imperial country to which the entity was in a state of dependency.
|
| status_text | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | If values are given for status and empire, it will be displayed by default as "status (empire)". The status_text variable allows you to display more specific or accurate text alternatives without compromising category assignment (e.g. "State of the [[Holy Roman Empire]]", "Client state of [[First French Empire|France]]") |
Politics ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| government_type | required | variable |
|
This entry generates more categories and sets some defaults for other political titles (see below). If the value given here does not match any in the following list, the article will be placed in the maintenance category for further examination. If a change in government takes place without the country itself changing, place the earlier government type in this field, and give the change in government as an intermediate event (e.g. event1). |
| Head of state | ||||
| title_leader | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | the head of state's title. If "government_type" is "Monarchy" or "Constitutional monarchy" monarchy, the default "King" will be displayed, which will link to "King of {common_name}" if that article exists. If "Republic" of "Federal republic" is given, "President" will be used instead. If a different title is used, enter it here (but keep the length to a minimum) and wikilink it to the relevant article (if any)
|
| leader1, leader2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Leader name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long (this applies to almost all royalty).
|
| year_leader1, year_leader2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Dates spanning rule of leader (e.g. 1801–1843).
|
| Colonial governor, representative of head of state, etc. | ||||

| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| capital | required | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Capital city. No wikilinking necessary. If the name of the city has changed since this period, display the contemporary name, but wikilink to the modern name (e.g. [[Istanbul|Constantinople]]) |

| common_languages | optional | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Major language(s). Add wikilinks where possible. If only one language is involved, you may enter simply the name of the language if the corresponding language entry exists. e.g. If you enter only "English" for this field, the template will display [[English language|English]].

History ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| Start and end | ||||
| year_start, year_end | required | variable | year | Years of establishment and disestablishment. These years will be placed in the date bar at the top. If the values given are the same year, only one year will be displayed, but you must still enter both. Do not wikilink these years. The years given here are automatically used to assign this entity to establishment/disestablishment categories. |
| date_start, date_end | optional | variable | date | Give the day and month (if known) to match year_start and year_end. Do not wikilink these dates. The year_start and year_end fields must be filled in.) |
| event_start, event_end | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Entering the information for the above 4 variables (or just the year variables) will create entries in the "History" section of the infobox. If nothing is given for event_start or event_end, the events will have the corresponding default text of "Established" and "Disestablished", respectively. The variables event_start and event_end allow you to give more detail. If the value you enter is the name of an article, the wikilink is automatically generated. You are encouraged to link to the article that describes the actual event which caused the formation/dissolution of the entity, if such articles exist. To keep the infobox tidy, create a wikilink to the event article if the title of the linked article is long (e.g. [[Berlin conference|Established]]). You are discouraged from simply entering something like "Declaration" or "Proclamation" in these fields, because there are general articles with this title. |
| life_span | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Some entities temporarily ceased to exist before re-establishing. Use this variable only for these entities to replace the displayed dates in the date bar. Give unlinked dates with line breaks. (e.g. 1841–1899<br/>1910–1967). You still need to fill in the year_start and year_end fields (in this example, "year_start=1841" and "year_end=1967") for the above-described functions to work. |- | colspan=5 style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | '''Events''' |- style="vertical-align:top;" | '''era''' || optional || variable || *Napoleonic Wars *World War I *World War II *Cold War | A category-assigning variable. If the value given here does not match any on the list in [[Template:Infobox former country/Categories|this table]], this article will be automatically assigned to a maintenance-category. Do not panic. If a certain "era" value is used often enough, a new category will be created by the infobox developers. |- style="vertical-align:top;" | '''event1/date_event1, event2/date_event2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Intermediate events. These will be listed in the History section between the start and end events. The event variables here function the same way as the event_start/event_end variables. Enter date as unlinked text (e.g. <nowiki>"3 August 1789" or "3 August 1789"). |
| event_pre/date_pre, event_post/date_post | testing | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Sometimes, events that take place outside the life-span of the entity are important, these two varaibles will place an event before event_start (pre) or after event_end (post) in the History box. |
Images ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| All of these variables are optional (but some are more optional than others). If there is no available image, place the WPFC banner on the article's talk page (if it isn't there already), with the parameters {{WPFC|class=?|flagneeded=yes|coatneeded=yes|mapneeded=yes}} (including only the relevant parameters) | ||||

| flag_type | optional | free | flag name | Displayed text under flag image. Useful if more than one flag was used (e.g. "3rd Flag of the Confederacy") or if the flag wasn't actually called a flag (e.g. "Banner"). Default: "Flag" |
| flag2_type | optional | free | flag name | Displayed text under flag image. Useful if more than one flag was used (e.g. "3rd Flag of the Confederacy") or if the flag wasn't actually called a flag (e.g. "Banner"). Default: "Flag" |
| flag | optional | wikilink | link target for text under the flag image. By default, it will link to "Flag of (the) {common_name}" if such an article exists—if not, it will link to "Flag" | |
| flag2 | optional | wikilink | link target for text under the flag2 image. By default, it will link to "Flag of (the) {common_name}" if such an article exists—if not, it will link to "Flag" | |

| symbol | optional | wikilink | link target for text under the coat of arms image. By default, it will link to "Coat of arms of (the) {common_name}" if such an article exists—if not, it will link to "Coat of arms" | |
| Map | ||||

| image_map_alt | optional | free | free text | Alt text for map |
| image_map_caption | optional | free | sentence (free text with wikilinks) | Map caption |
Preceding and succeeding entities ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| These fields are optional, but very important. Entries here affect the flag-navigation feature of the date bar at the top of the infobox. | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| p1–p5 | optional | wikilink | "country name" | Names of preceding entities (up to 5) |
| s1–s5 | optional | wikilink | "country name" | Names of succeeding entities (up to 5) |
| flag_p1, flag_p2, ... | optional | wikilink | file name | Name of image of flag for the state corresponding to p1, p2,... (just the name, no Image: coding). If the preceding state had multiple flags during its existence, use the last flag that it used. The template is instructed to search for possible flag images given the name of the state, so it might not be necessary to fill in this field. If a flag is not found or defined, the default "flag unknown" image will be shown. |
| border_p1, border_p2, ... | optional | yes/no | yes or no or blank | Set to no to turn off border around the flag, for example for Nepal. |
| flag_s1, flag_s2, ... | optional | wikilink | file name | Name of image of flag for the state corresponding to s1, s2,... (just the name, no Image: coding), same as the flags for previous states. If the succeeding state had multiple flags during its existence, use the first flag that it used. |
| border_s1, border_s2, ... | optional | yes/no | yes or no or blank | Set to no to turn off border around the flag, for example for Nepal. |
| image_p1,image_s1,... | optional | wikilink | file name | Going further back in history, flags were less common and coats of arms were used instead. Coat of arms images are generally narrower than flag images, so if coat of arms images are displayed at the defined image size used here for flags (i.e. width=30px), they appear too big. Therefore, if you have anything other than a flag/banner image to use for a previous/following entity, fill in this field. Here you must enter all wikilinking as normally done when entering an image, but set the image width to 20px (or higher, depending on the individual image). |
To which entries should I link? ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿIt is not the intention here to list every single previous/following entity—that would make the infobox look very silly in many cases. Here are some guidelines for what to do (and what not to do). There are no strict rules so please exercise caution and common sense when using this feature.
| ||||
Area and population ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| stat_year1, stat_year2 ... | optional (required if area or population is given) | variable | numerical | It is possible to add multiple values for area and population over time.
|
| stat_area1, stat_area2 ... | optional | variable | numerical | |
| stat_pop1, stat_pop2 ... | optional | variable | numerical | |
Footnotes ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| footnotes | optional | free | sentence (free text with wikilinks) | A standard field for footnotes. Use footnotes if there is anything in the infobox that requires further explanation. Supports wikilinks. |
| footnotes2 | optional | free | sentence (free text with wikilinks) | A second field for footnotes, separated from the first. Supports wikilinks |
| footnote_a footnote_b ... footnote_h |
optional | free | sentence | Fields for footnotes identified using lowercase letters "a" to "h" (Examplea). All support wikilinks. |
Style parameters ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
The template allows some optional parameters that control the style of the infobox, for size and coloring, when displayed on a page:
width = 290px: sets the width of the infobox (default: 290px).boxstyle = . . .: sets the style properties of the whole infobox.titlestyle = . . .: sets the style properties of the top title/name area of the infobox.
Some specific styles for the whole infobox are as follows:
boxstyle = background:lightgray: sets the color behind all areas of the infobox.boxstyle = border-color:blue;: sets the line around the infobox to the color blue.boxstyle = border-width:5px;: sets line width around box to 5 pixels (default: 1px).boxstyle = margin-left:1px; margin-right:7px;: resets the left/right margins of the infobox for similar alignment in both browsers Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Some specific styles for the title/name are as follows:
titlestyle = background:lightgray: sets the color behind the top title/name area of the infobox.titlestyle = color:gold: sets the text color in top title/name area.titlestyle = text-align:left: shifts title/name text to the left (default: center).
For multiple settings, combine all on one line, as follows:
titlestyle = background:lightgray; color:darkgreen;
The properties are separated by semicolons (";"), and beware that accidentally omitting semicolons will cause the settings to be ignored. Some style properties cannot be changed, such as setting "titlestyle=margin-left:25px" might be ignored, because "margin-left" is a property, instead, of the whole box, using boxstyle.
Banner ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ
To allow project members to keep track of articles, any page that uses this infobox must be labeled with the WPFC banner. To do this, go to the article's talk page and add {{WPFC}} to the top of the talk page, if the banner is not there already. See the banner page for more information about the extra parameters that the banner supports. At the absolute minimum, the talk page should contain {{WPFC}}.
