Template:Infobox Database

Documentation edit · view · purge

An infobox for databases that include cannabis: data portals, genebank catalogues, ethnobotanical and genomic databases, each a published, searchable collection of entries kept up by a named holder. It is used on the article about the database itself, never on a page that only cites it. Every page that carries it is placed in Category:Databases and Category:Sources, and lists on Portal:Sources with the type Database.

A single deposit of data with its own DOI is a research item (type Dataset) carrying {{ResearchItem}}, not a database. The organisation that keeps a database has its own page, carrying {{Infobox Organization}}. Where readers know a database and the body that runs it by one name, one database page covers both.

Parameters

Every parameter is optional. A row or section with nothing in it is not shown. Lists are separated by semicolons.

Parameter	Shown as	What to put
name	title	The database's usual name. Defaults to the page title.
full_name	under the title	The full name, where the usual name is an abbreviation (Global Biodiversity Information Facility).
logo	top	A file name without File:. Only a logo the wiki can use under a free licence or as a public-domain trademark; otherwise leave it empty.
image, image_caption, image_alt	picture	A screenshot or other picture, with its caption.
holder	Kept by	The organisation or organisations that keep the database, by the title of their page. Each one is linked.
compilers	Compiled by	The people who compiled it, where a paper or the database names them. Leave empty for a portal fed by many providers.
content	What it holds	One or more of Traditional uses, Genebank accessions, Specimens and occurrences, Genomic data, Chemical profiles, Literature.
coverage	Covers	Free text: the places or the period the entries cover (41 countries, Worldwide).
launched	First published	The year the database was first published, as a bare year (2021). It sorts the database among the sources on Portal:Sources, and a database without it does not show there.
version	Version	The version the page describes, as the database numbers it.
entries	Entries	How many entries the database holds, as a bare number: no commas, tilde, words or units. The infobox adds the thousands separator.
cannabis_entries	Cannabis entries	How many of them concern Cannabis, a bare number as above.
count_date	Counted	The date the counts were read, year first (2026-11-10). A count without a date is not given.
licence	Data licence	The licence of the data, as the database's own terms state it: one of Public domain, CC0, CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, CC BY-NC 4.0, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, Varies by dataset, Own terms. A Creative Commons licence links to its deed.
licence_note	under the licence	A short note, for example where the database's statements of its licence disagree. The page's text explains it.
access	Access	Open (no account needed), Free registration or Restricted.
website, website_label	Website	The database's own address; the link text defaults to Official site.
data_doi	Data deposit	The DOI of a deposit of the whole dataset, without https://doi.org/.

Papers and data deposits

The infobox lists the research items whose database field names this page: the paper that presents the database and any deposit of its data, with their dates. A paper that only uses the data is cited where it is used, not listed here. Nothing is shown until such an item exists.

Data under a non-commercial licence

The wiki's text is published under CC BY-SA 4.0. From a database under a non-commercial licence or its own terms, a page gives facts, counts and short summaries in its own words, each cited. It does not copy the database's tables, lists of entries or extracts of its data. The data file is linked by its DOI, not uploaded.
