{{Infobox weather event/doc/adoption}}
This template creates a completely modular weather infobox, which aims to support almost all severe weather events and allow modularity. Each of the subboxes are developed with modularity in mind. TemplateData will be available for these boxes soon to ease adding infoboxes to existing articles.

The primary infobox (this infobox) allows for a storm's image, name, and meteorological history. Meteorological data such as storm category and intensity or other data such as damage and deaths, are provided through subboxes. {{notice|All usages must be followed by [[Template:Infobox weather event/Footer]] to close the infobox (exceptions apply; see [[#Header|below]]). Please keep this in mind when replacing templates like {{t|Infobox storm}} which did not require a footer.}}

This infobox aims to replace the current weather-related infoboxes: {{t|Infobox tropical cyclone}}, {{t|Infobox storm}}, and {{t|Infobox tropical cyclone current}}. See [[Template:Infobox weather event/Feature parity]] for a comparison of parameters in other infoboxes with this infobox. Please do not use this infobox on flood articles since its usage is controversial. Please use {{t|Infobox flood}} instead.

== Usage ==

Winds and gusts units are always in knots. Pressure is always in millibars/hectopascals. These are non-configurable values in order to standardize and maintain consistency between all boxes. Damage is always in United States dollars, unless explicitly set with {{para|currency}}.

=== Basic ===
A very minimal box can be created using the following wikitext.
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%"
! style="width: 100%" | Wikitext
! Output
|-
|<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Infobox weather event
| name = Typhoon Tip 
| image = Tip 1979-10-12 0533Z.png
| caption = Typhoon Tip at its record peak intensity on October 12
| formed = October 4, 1979
| extratropical = October 19, 1979
| dissipated = October 24, 1979
| footer = yes 
}}</syntaxhighlight>
|{{Infobox weather event
| name = Typhoon Tip 
| image = Tip 1979-10-12 0533Z.png
| caption = Typhoon Tip at its record peak intensity on October 12
| formed = October 4, 1979
| extratropical = October 19, 1979
| dissipated = October 24, 1979
| footer = yes 
}}
|}

=== Header ===
Up to two images can be displayed by the box at a given time. The image displayed may be the storm's satellite image (using {{para|image}}), its track map (using {{para|track}}), its forecast map (using {{para|forecast}}), or a combination of the two. The track map and forecast map may not be shown together. Caption, alternative text, and sizing can be set relative to each of the images above
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%"
! Main parameter !! Caption !! Alternative text !! Upright (scaling) !! Width
|-
| {{para|image}} || {{para|caption}} || {{para|alt}} || {{para|image-upright}} || {{para|image-width}}
|-
| {{para|track}} || {{para|track-caption}} || {{para|track-alt}} || {{para|track-upright}} || {{para|track-width}}
|-
| {{para|forecast}} || {{para|forecast-caption}} || {{para|forecast-alt}} || {{para|forecast-upright}} || {{para|forecast-width}}
|}

All parameters of {{t|Infobox weather event/History}} is usable in the header box. You can add in another meteorological history section for long-lasting storms which experienced different stages.

If the event is a single event and does not need meteorological info, effects, or a footer, {{para|footer|yes}} can be set to immediately close the template, skipping the need for a footer.

=== [[Template:Infobox weather event/History|History]] ===
{{Infobox weather event/History/doc|maindoc=yes}}

=== Tropical cyclones ===
==== Scales ====
Each meteorological agency has a subbox of its own, which links to the correct scale and automatically computes the category of a storm.

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/NWS|NWS]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/NWS/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/JMA|JMA]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/JMA/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/MF|MF]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/MF/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/IMD|IMD]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/IMD/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/Aus|Australian scale]] =====
The Australian scale is used by multiple agencies. Multiple infoboxes are provided, each changing the issuing agency but providing the same scale.

The following templates can be used to show this scale:
* [[Template:Infobox weather event/BOM]]{{snd}}[[Bureau of Meteorology]]
* [[Template:Infobox weather event/BMKG]]{{snd}}[[Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency]] (TCWC Jakarta)
* [[Template:Infobox weather event/PNGNWS]]{{snd}}Papua New Guinea National Weather Service
* [[Template:Infobox weather event/FMS]]{{snd}}[[Fiji Meteorological Service]]
* [[Template:Infobox weather event/MetService]]{{snd}}[[MetService|Meteorological Service of New Zealand]]
{{#invoke:Infobox weather event/scalebar|main|scale=Aus}}

==== Non-RSMC scales ====
Scale subboxes also exist for agencies which are not the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center. While the use of the JTWC subbox is generally allowed on all basins besides those which use the Saffir–Simpson scale (North Atlantic/Eastern Pacific/Central Pacific), other agency subboxes, such as those for the [[PAGASA]] (Philippines), [[Central Weather Bureau|CWB]] (Taiwan; subbox does not exist as of now), and [[Pakistan Meteorological Department|PMD]] (Pakistan; subbox does not exist as of now) should generally be used only when the storm is not recognized by the basin's RSMC.

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/JTWC|JTWC]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/JTWC/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/PAGASA|PAGASA]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/PAGASA/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/HKO|HKO]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/HKO/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/CMA|CMA]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/CMA/doc|maindoc=yes}}

==== Historical scales ====
These are scales that were used at some point in the past but are no longer in use.

===== [[Template:Infobox weather event/JTWC|NPMOC]] =====
{{Infobox weather event/NPMOC/doc|maindoc=yes}}

===== No scale =====
To display meteorological information in cases where an agency or scale is unavailable (such as in the case of historical storms, e.g. the [[1881 Haiphong typhoon]]), you can directly use the [[Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology|/meteorology]] sub-box. This will remove agency and measurement interval from the box header.

By default, the category "{{storm name|}}" will appear as the category. This can be overridden by setting {{para|category}} to [[Module:Storm categories#Full list of available values|any available storm category ID]].
