Parameters

edit

Required parameters are in bold.

Occurrences involving a single aircraft

edit
ParameterExplanation
nameOptional custom infobox header. Omit parameter altogether to have the header always reflecting the article's title (i.e. {{PAGENAME}}).
occurrence_type"Accident", "Bombing", "Hijacking", "Occurrence" or "Shootdown". Few notable occurrences are classified as "incidents"; see Aviation accidents and incidents. "Occurrence" should be the default unless definitively confirmed as one of the other types by reliable sources.
imagePicture of the accident or incident or its aftermath, or, if none is available, of the aircraft involved. If a free image of the actual aircraft is not available, then an aircraft of the same type can be used. However, images of aircraft in other operators' markings may be misleading. Representations or computer generated images should not be used. Consider searching Wikimedia Commons which has an extensive library of aircraft images, often categorised by aircraft registration. Do not include "File:" before the name of the image file.
image_uprightScale the main infobox image by the given factor, rounding the result to the nearest multiple of 10 pixels (e.g. "1.20").
image_sizeDEPRECATED – Width of the image in pixels (e.g. "220 px"). Per WP:IMGSIZE, use of this parameter is discouraged in favour of image_upright.
altAlt text for the image.
captionCaption for the image.
dateDate on which accident or incident occurred. Use {{start date}}.
summaryBrief factual summary of the occurrence. It may include causes, provided the result is suitably brief, neutral, and follows due weight.
siteLocation of accident or incident (e.g. placename, nearest city/town, country).
coordinatesSite coordinates of accident or incident. For coordinates, use {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.
mapframeShow a {{infobox mapframe}} of the coordinates. See #Mapframe maps for more information.
total_fatalitiesOnly for occurrences involving victims on the ground: total number of deaths caused by the accident, including people not on board the aircraft involved.
total_injuriesOnly for occurrences involving victims on the ground: total number of injuries caused by the accident, including people not on board the aircraft involved.
total_missingOnly for occurrences involving victims on the ground: total number of people missing in the accident, including people not on board the aircraft involved.
ground_fatalitiesNumber of deaths caused by the accident among people who were not on board the aircraft involved.
ground_injuriesNumber of injuries caused by the accident among people who were not on board the aircraft involved.
plane1_imageNormally used for occurrences involving multiple aircraft (see below), can be used for single-aircraft occurrences to display a pre-accident image of the aircraft involved, unless the image parameter above already displays one such image. The infobox should never contain more than one pre-accident image of the aircraft involved; that is no additional photos showing previous operators' liveries, old markings, different settings etc. Do not include "File:" before the name of the image file.
plane1_image_uprightSame as image_upright but referred to plane1_image.
plane1_altAlt text for plane1_image.
plane1_captionCaption for plane1_image.
aircraft_typeAircraft's type (e.g. Boeing 747).
aircraft_nameAircraft's name in italics (e.g. Atlantic Clipper).
operatorName of the airline or company operating the (first) aircraft.
IATAFlight designator in the IATA system.
ICAOFlight designator in the ICAO system.
callsignAircraft's call sign.
tail_numberAircraft's tail number (registration).
originOrigin of aircraft's flight (airport/airfield, city/town, country).
stopover / stopoversAircraft's stopover location if only one stopover parameter is used. Displays in infobox as Stopover or Stopovers.
stopover0Aircraft's first stopover location. Displays in infobox as 1st stopover.
stopover1Aircraft's second stopover location.
stopover2Aircraft's third stopover location.
stopover3Aircraft's fourth stopover location.
stopover4Aircraft's fifth stopover location.
stopover5Aircraft's sixth stopover location.
last_stopoverAircraft's last stopover location. Displays in infobox as Last stopover.
destinationAircraft's destination (airport/airfield, city/town, country).
occupantsTotal number of people on board the aircraft.
passengersNumber of passengers on board the aircraft.
crewNumber of crew on board the aircraft.
fatalitiesNumber of people killed on board the aircraft.
injuriesNumber of people injured on board the aircraft.
missingNumber of people missing from the aircraft.
survivorsNumber of survivors on board the aircraft.

Mapframe maps

edit
  • Basic {{Infobox mapframe}} parameters:
    • mapframe – Specify yes or no to show or hide the map, overriding the default. Default: no, but also modified by onByDefault
      • Internal onByDefault parameter: yes, if |coordinates= are present
    • mapframe-coordinates or mapframe-coord or coordinates or coord – Coordinates to use, instead of any on Wikidata. Use the {{Coord}} template, e.g. |coord={{Coord|12.34|N|56.78|E}}. Default: coordinates from Wikidata d:Property:P625
    • mapframe-caption – Caption for the map. Default: blank (or if |mapframe-geomask= is set, "Location in geomask's label")
    • mapframe-custom – Use a custom map instead of the automatic mapframe. Specify either a {{maplink}} template, or another template that generates a mapframe map, or an image name. If used, most mapframe parameters will be ignored. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-id or id or qid – Id (Q-number) of Wikidata item to use. Default: item for current page
    • mapframe-wikidata – Set to yes to show all shape/line features from OpenStreetMap. Default: not specified
  • Customise which features are displayed:
    • mapframe-point – Turn off display of point feature by setting to none. Force point marker to be displayed by setting to on. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-shape – Turn off display of shape feature by setting to none. Force display of shape by setting to on. Use an inverse shape (geomask) instead of a regular shape by setting to inverse. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-line – Turn off display of line feature by setting to none. Force display of line by setting to on. Default: not specified
    • mapframe-geomask – Wikidata item to use as a geomask (everything outside the boundary is shaded darker). Can either be a specific Wikidata item (Q-number), or a property that specifies the item to use (e.g. P17 for country (P17), P131 for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)). Default: not specified
    • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
      • auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
      • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
      • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average
  • Other optional parameters:
    • mapframe-frame-width or mapframe-width – Frame width. Default: 270
    • mapframe-frame-height or mapframe-height – Frame height. Default: 200
    • mapframe-shape-fill – Color used to fill shape features. Default: #606060
    • mapframe-shape-fill-opacity – Opacity level of shape fill, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.1
    • mapframe-stroke-color or mapframe-stroke-colour – Color of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
      • mapframe-line-stroke-color or mapframe-line-stroke-colour – Color of line features. Default: #ff0000
      • mapframe-shape-stroke-color or mapframe-shape-stroke-colour – Color of outlines of shape features. Default: #ff0000
    • mapframe-stroke-width – Width of line features, and outlines of shape features. Default: 2
      • mapframe-shape-stroke-width – Width of outlines of shape features. Default: 2
      • mapframe-line-stroke-width – Width of line features. Default: 5
    • mapframe-marker – Marker symbol to use for coordinates; see mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer/Icons for options. Default: not specified (i.e. blank)
      • Can also be set to blank to override any default marker symbol
    • mapframe-marker-color or mapframe-marker-colour – Background color for the marker. Default: #5E74F3

Microformats

edit

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
