Template:Infobox Appellation

Documentation edit · view · purge

This template renders the infobox for appellation pages. It pairs with Module:Boundaries for polygon lookup and writes semantic properties consumed by the home map and rollup queries elsewhere on the wiki.

Boundary polygons are not passed as a parameter. The template looks up the current page name in Module:Boundaries automatically. To register or update an appellation's polygon, edit that module directly.

Parameters

Identity

appellation_name: Display name shown in the infobox header. Defaults to the page name if omitted. Provide explicitly only when the page name carries disambiguation suffixes that should not appear in the header.

other_names: Alternative spellings or local names, comma-separated. Shown as the subtitle below the header.

image: Filename of a representative image (without the File: prefix). Rendered at 320 px wide.

image_alt: Alt text for the image. Defaults to the appellation name.

image_caption: Caption shown below the image.

Hierarchy

gene_pool: e.g. South Asian Gene Pool. Linked.

regional_complex: e.g. Hindu Kush-Himalayan. Linked.

growing_region: e.g. Western Himalayas. Linked.

growing_area: e.g. Malana Valley. Linked.

parent_appellation: Used when an appellation sits inside another appellation (rare). Leave blank for peer appellations. Linked.

Geography

country: Linked.

provinces: Free text, can include multiple separated by commas.

admin_2: Free text. Defaults label to District; override via admin_2_label if a different administrative term applies (e.g. Province, Subdivision).

admin_2_label: Override label for the admin_2 row.

coordinates: Decimal lat,lng. Used both for the map's centre and for the displayed value. Format: 32.064, 77.265.

Landscape

elevation_range: e.g. 2,200–3,200 m.

area_extent: e.g. 4.4 km². Manual entry; the polygon's computed area is also stored separately by Module:Boundaries.

terrain: Short prose description.

Climate

climate: Climate type, e.g. Temperate montane.

rainfall: Annual rainfall figure or descriptor.

seasons: Wet/dry season descriptor or growing season window.

Semantic properties written

The infobox writes the following properties via :

Has appellation name
Has growing region
Has growing area
Has parent appellation
Has country
Has admin subdivision 1
Has admin subdivision 2
Has coordinates
Has elevation range
Has area extent
Has terrain
Has climate
Has rainfall
Has seasons
Has gene pool
Has regional complex
Has boundary — sourced from Module:Boundaries via

The page is also auto-categorised into Category:Appellations.

Boundary registration

To add or update the polygon for an appellation, edit Module:Boundaries directly. The key in the module must match the page name exactly. The infobox will pick up the polygon on the next page parse.

If the polygon does not appear after registration, null-edit the page or wait for the SMW job queue to catch up.

Map behaviour

The infobox map queries accessions linked to this appellation via Infobox Appellation. If Property:Has appellation has not been created on the wiki, accessions will not roll up and the map will show only the polygon outline.
