 | This template has been developed differently to the version maintained on the English Wikipedia. Parts of this wiki work differently to other wikis and this template has been adapted to suit. If you are making a major change to it, please first familiarise yourself with how it works and why it is different. The documentation page or the page's revision history may contain more information. Do not simply "update" the markup without checking how this will affect the template's local function. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly. |
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
Function
[change source]Purpose
[change source]Infobox law enforcement agency is an infobox template for use in articles on individual law enforcement agencies.
The template provides an overview of key:
- structural
- jurisdictional
- operational characteristics
of a law enforcement agency.
Automatic categorisation
[change source]This template automatically categorises the article it is placed into. An including article will be categorised into one or more of:
Caution
[change source]If a new combination of paramters is used, then the expected category for automatic categorisation might not exist. If so, manually create the necessary category. This is a once off process. See also Deficiencies - Automatic categorisation below.
There might be problems when (very) non standard naming conventions have been used for existing categories. These non standard named categories will slowly disappear over time and become deprecated, being replaced by standard named ones.
Deficiencies
[change source]Automatic categorisation
[change source]If no existing category can be identified for the relevant required categoristion, then the least standard / least preferred category name structure might be "red linked". The standard for category naming should be used, NOT necessarily the "red linked" form.
Parameter checking
[change source]This template does NOT cross check parameters for nonsensical combinations of parameters or missing mandatory parameters.
Acknowledgements
[change source]This template was initially inspired by {{Infobox Government agency}}, February 2008.
Usage
[change source]The following skeleton can be copied and edited into an article. For a description of each parameter, see Template parameters, below.
The skeleton contains some abbreviations for the sake of brevity and these are not actual wiki text. Accordingly they need to be edited or removed as follows:
- Remove the ' . . up to N' comments altogether.
- Replace the template list sub skeletons, for example as shown for the international parameter, with a list of names, or with the number of things.
See the examples below for how the skeleton will look after being copied and edited.

Information box width
[change source]Some articles may benefit from having a narrower information box than the one generated by default.
Adding
|narrowerbox = Yes
will reduce the width of the generated information box.
Note this might cause the length of the generated information box to increase, due to increased text wrap within table cells in the information box. Editors should take care to check the presentation of the information box if they add or remove this parameter.
Alternative skeleton
[change source]Use this alternative if you prefer a skeleton with underscored parameter names instead of concatenated parameter names.

[change source]The text of the presented template instantiations in the examples below has been manually wrapped to get a better fit in the browser frame. Do not add unnecessay new lines when using the template. Varying frame width and screen resolution, then you might still get "overflow" from one example to the next example, etc., when viewing this documentation.

Notes for template editors
[change source]Snapshot information boxes
[change source]To put a snapshot copy of the information box from a main article for a law enforcement agency in an article related to the law enforcement agency:
- Instead of adding the template to the law enforcement agency's (main) article, create a new template using the Infobox law enforcement agency template, for example Template:Foo City Police.
- Copy the following parameter instantiations into the Infobox law enforcement agency template call in Template:Foo City Police:
| sharedcat = Foo City Police
| infotype = {{{infotype|related}}}
| subname = {{{subname|}}}
| doc = {{{doc|<noinclude>doc</noinclude>}}} - Create the category Category:Foo City Police, so that all articles related to Foo City Police can be categorised together. The categorisation of the main and related articles will then be done automatically by the template.
- Add {{Foo City Police |infotype=main}} to the main article for Foo City Police.
- Add {{Foo City Police}} to the articles related to Foo City Police.
- Also, for example, include:
| subname = Training Academy
in the Foo City Police Training Academy article to properly place the article within the Foo City Police category page.
Also categorise the new Foo City Police template into Category:Snapshotinfoboxes for law enforcement agencies.
If any images for patch, logo, badge, flag are provided, then the first image in this list is placed in the noncollapsible section of the infobox and any further images are placed in the collapsible section of the infobox by the template.
Usage for snapshot information boxes
[change source]Usage for the Foo City Police snapshot information box template will be:
plain
Preview warning: Page using Template:Box with unknown parameter "3 = <tt><nowiki>...</nowiki>Foo City Police<br>
| inf...<nowiki>...</nowiki>"
This is available via {{Infobox law enforcement agency/snapshotinfoboxusage |Foo City Police}}.
Checklists for template editors
[change source]Adding or modifying a parameter:
- Add a new parameter to the copy skeleton under usage.
- Update or create a relevant example, both the non tagged and <pre> tagged material.
- Update the parameters table.
- Update the parameter test.
- Update the deficiencies if appropriate
- Update this check list if appropriate.
