This infobox is part of WikiProject Former countries run by the Subdivisions bureau. It is based on Template:Infobox former country adjusted to suit subdivisions of former countries.
NOTE: This infobox should be used if the state in question was always a subdivision of some larger entity. For all other cases, use {{Infobox former country}} to place articles into various "Former countries" categories that would not be suitable for subdivisions of former countries.
Exception: states of the Holy Roman Empire should also use {{Infobox former country}} with |empire=HRE + |status=vassal, |status=city or |status=abbey, depending on the state type.
Notes
- Many variables concern generated categories. When categories are discussed below, it is referring to this list of currently supported categories.
- This is a rather complicated template, and should be used with care to ensure functionality. Note that most fields are optional for the infobox to function correctly. If you are unsure about anything, just skip all the optional fields and ask a developer for help.
- Anyone is welcome to use the infobox. But since it is still under construction, developers may make changes to your work. This is nothing personal. Normally this is for functionality reasons, sometimes it is to test new features of the infobox.
- Some variables below may be marked as test variables. Use these with caution and remember that these variables may be changed or deleted without notice.
- Certain historical entities may inspire heated debate among some people. Neutrality and sensitivity are required when implementing this infobox.
- If you are unsure about the usage of this template, or you have any suggestions for modifications to the infobox, or if you want to know why a certain modification was made, please contact a developer or leave a comment at the talk page. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving and documenting infobox features. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving and documenting infobox features.
This infobox is under constant development. For many entries, the infobox has been implemented by one of the main developers. Other users are welcome to implement the infobox themselves, but developers might make modifications later on largely for functionality reasons.
The main developers are:
- 52 Pickup (talk)
- Domino theory (talk)
- MJCdetroit (talk)
Usage
- Almost all fields are optional, some fields are more optional than others. It is not expected that you fill in every single field that is shown here.
- Some fields are hidden but necessary for infobox functionality. Not all fields are displayed here.
- If a state has a high number of leaders (>5), do not modify this template to fit them all in. It is not the intention of this infobox to do them all; that makes the infobox way too big (any extra slots added here without previous discussion will be reverted). Instead, list only the first and last title holder, with
(first)or(last)placed after the person's name. - Some fields place the article into certain categories: see list of supported categories.
- Area (in km²) and population statistics must be given without spaces, commas, or other code.
- Keep event text as short as possible, ideally only 1 line in length.
- For many entries, the infobox has been implemented by one of the main developers. Other users are welcome to implement the infobox themselves, but developers might make modifications later on, largely for functionality reasons.
- If you are unsure about the usage of this template, or if you want to know why a certain modification was made, let us know via the template talk page. Your comments and questions assist the developers in creating, improving, and documenting infobox features.

Detailed instructions
These are the fields of information in the Infobox former countries template with a set of instructions on how to use them. Here is a brief explanation on how to read the table:
- Field name
- the fields of information that carry information used by the template
- Usage
- required means that the template will not work properly if it is excluded
- optional means that the template will work properly without it, but available information should be entered to make it as complete as possible (actively excluding or deleting information is not endorsed just because it is called optional in this table)
- Type
- variable means that the template will only take fixed values; this can be dates, years, numerical or according to a defined list
- free means that the template will accept values given freely without having to adhere to the strict discipline required for variables
- wikilink means that a working wikilink must be entered either to an article or to the file name of an image
- Value
- examples or lists of values accepted by variables
- free text with wikilinks means that text and wikilinks can be entered freely without the kind of restrictions that applies to variables
- label is a short label typically fitting in a single line (no line break)
- entry is one or a few short labels separated by commas or line breaks (no more than a few lines)
- sentence is a short descriptive sentence (no more than a few lines)
- free text means that text can be entered, but wikilinks must not be used
- Description
- an instruction or a small guide how the particular field of information is used
Name | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| native_name | optional | free | label (free text) | Name in native language(s), displayed towards the top of the infobox, underneath the full name in English. If there are multiple native languages, separate different names with line breaks. If the native language is English, leave this section blank and give the name in the next field. |
| conventional_long_name | optional | free | label (free text) | Full name in English, displayed at the top of the infobox. Default to page name. |
| common_name | required | variable | country name | This variable is a supporting variable for the infobox. The value required here is not always historically factual but this variable is very important as it has a number of important uses:
|
Status | ||||
| The entries here again determine category placement. For some values, related text will be displayed in a bar underneath the name. | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| subdivision | required | variable |
|
|Subdivision describes the relationship between the political entity and other entities, whether colonies to an empire, the (colonial) empire itself, countries with special status by the League of Nations or the UN, etc.
|
| nation | required | variable | country name | Give the common name for the country to which the entity was in a state of dependency.
|
| status_text | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | If values are given for |subdivision and |nation, it will be displayed by default as "[subdivision] of [(the) nation]". The |status_text variable allows you to display more specific or accurate text alternatives without compromising category assignment (e.g. "State of the [[Holy Roman Empire]]", "Client state of [[First French Empire|France]]").
|
Politics | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| government_type | required | variable |
|
This entry generates more categories and sets some defaults for other political titles (see below). If the value given here does not match any in the following list, the article will be placed in the maintenance category for further examination. If a change in government takes place without the country itself changing, place the earlier government type in this field, and give the change in government as an intermediate event (e.g. |event1).
|
| Head of state | ||||
| title_leader | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | the head of state's title. If |government_type=Monarchy or Constitutional monarchy, the default "King" will be displayed, which will link to "King of {common_name} if that article exists. If Republic or Federal republic is given, "President" will be used instead. If a different title is used, enter it here (but keep the length to a minimum) and wikilink it to the relevant article (if any).
|
| leader1, leader2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Leader name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long (this applies to almost all royalty).
|
| year_leader1, year_leader2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Dates spanning rule of leader (e.g. 1801–1843).
|
| Deputy, head of government, etc. | ||||
| title_deputy | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | same as for the head of state. The only difference here is the default labels given: instead of "King" the default here is "Prime Minister" |
| deputy1, deputy2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Deputy name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long |
| year_deputy1, year_deputy2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Dates spanning rule of the deputy (e.g. 1801–1843). |
| Legislatures and constitutions | ||||
| legislature | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | The name of the legislature (required to display upper and lower hoses) |
| house1, house2 | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | The names of upper and lower houses of the legislature |
| type_house1, type_house2 | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Ability to enter different labels than upper and lower houses |
General information | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| capital | required | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Capital city. No wikilinking necessary. If the name of the city has changed since this period, you may display the contemporary name, using WP:piped link to the modern name, i.e. [[modern name|former name]]
|
| coordinates | optional | variable | coordinates | Geographical coordinates of capital city; use {{Coord}}. |
| motto | optional | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Regional motto. If not in English, place the English translation last (after a line break). |
| anthem | optional | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Regional anthem. If not in English, place the English translation last (after a line break). |
| political_subdiv | optional | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | Political subdivisions. Add wikilinks if articles exist. |
| today | optional | free | entry (free text with wikilinks) | The modern countries to which this historic entity belongs today. Do not use this parameter if there are more than four such countries. Flags should per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG not be added. |
History | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| Start and end | ||||
| year_start, year_end | required | variable | year | Years of establishment and disestablishment. These years will be placed in the date bar at the top. If the values given are the same year, only one year will be displayed, but you must still enter both. Do not wikilink these years. The years given here are automatically used to assign this entity to establishment/disestablishment categories. |
| date_start, date_end | optional | variable | date | Give the day and month (if known) to match |year_start and |year_end. Do not wikilink these dates. The |year_start and |year_end fields must be filled in.)
|
| event_start, event_end | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Entering the information for the above four variables (or just the year variables) will create entries in the History section of the infobox. If nothing is given for |event_start or |event_end, the "events" will have the corresponding default text of "Established" and "Disestablished", respectively. The variables |event_start and |event_end allow you to give more detail. If the value you enter is the name of an article, the wikilink is automatically generated. You are encouraged to link to the article that describes the actual event which caused the formation/dissolution of the entity, if such articles exist. To keep the infobox tidy, create a wikilink to the event article if the title of the linked article is long (e.g. [[Berlin conference|Established]]). You are discouraged from simply entering something like Declaration or Proclamation in these fields, because there are general articles with this title.
|
| life_span | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Some entities temporarily ceased to exist before re-establishing. Use this variable only for these entities to replace the displayed dates in the date bar. Give unlinked dates with line breaks. (e.g. 1841–1899<br>1910–1967). You still need to fill in the |year_start and |year_end fields (in this example, |year_start=1841 and |year_end=1967) for the above-described functions to work.
|
| Events | ||||
| era | optional | variable |
|
A category-assigning variable. If the value given here does not match any on the list in this table, this article will be automatically assigned to a maintenance-category. Do not panic. If a certain |era value is used often enough, a new category will be created by the infobox developers.
|
| event1/date_event1, event2/date_event2, ... | optional | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Intermediate events. These will be listed in the History section between the start and end events. The event variables here function the same way as the |event_start/|event_end variables. Enter date as unlinked text (e.g. 3 August 1789).
|
| event_pre/date_pre, event_post/date_post | testing | free | label (free text with wikilinks) | Sometimes, events that take place outside the life-span of the entity are important, these two variables will place an event before |event_start (pre) or after |event_end (post) in the History box.
|
Images | ||||
| All of these variables are optional (but some are more optional than others). If there is no available image, place the WPFC banner on the article's talk page (if it isn't there already), with the parameters {{WPFC|class=?|flagneeded=yes|coatneeded=yes|mapneeded=yes}} (including only the relevant parameters) | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| Flag | ||||
| image_flag | optional | wikilink | file name | The name of the flag image (no Image: coding needed)
|
| image_border | optional | yes/no | no |
Set to no to turn off border around non-rectangular flags, e.g. File:Flag of Ohio.svg.
|
| flag_type | optional | free | flag name | Displayed text under flag image. Useful if more than one flag was used (e.g. Third flag of the Confederacy) or if the flag wasn't actually called a flag (e.g. Banner). Default: "Flag"
|
| flag | optional | wikilink | link target for text under the flag image. By default, it will link to "Flag of (the) {common_name}" if such an article exists. | |
| Heraldry | ||||
| image_coat | optional | wikilink | file name | The name of the coat of arms image (no Image: coding needed)
|
| symbol_type | optional | free | symbol name | Displayed text under coat of arms image. Useful if more than one coat of arms was used or if it wasn't actually called a coat of arms (e.g. Emblem). Default: "Coat of arms"
|
| symbol | optional | wikilink | link target for text under the coat of arms image. By default, it will link to "Coat of arms of (the) {common_name}" if such an article exists. | |
| Map | ||||
| image_map | optional | wikilink | file name | The name of the map image (no Image: coding needed)
|
| image_map_caption | optional | free | sentence (free text with wikilinks) | Map caption |
Preceding and succeeding entities | ||||
| These fields are optional, but very important. Entries here affect the flag-navigation feature of the date bar at the top of the infobox. | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| p1 – p5 | optional | wikilink | country name | Names of preceding entities (up to 5) |
| s1 – s8 | optional | wikilink | country name | Names of succeeding entities (up to 8) |
| flag_p1, flag_p2, ... | optional | wikilink | file name | Name of image of flag for the state corresponding to |p1, |p2, etc. (just the name, no Image: coding). If the preceding state had multiple flags during its existence, use the last flag that it used. The template is instructed to search for possible flag images given the name of the state, so it might not be necessary to fill in this field. If a flag is not found or defined, the default "flag unknown" image will be shown.
|
| border_p1, border_p2, ... | optional | yes/no | no |
Set to no to turn off border around non-rectangular flags, e.g. File:Flag of Ohio.svg.
|
| flag_s1, flag_s2, ... | optional | wikilink | file name | Name of image of flag for the state corresponding to |s1, |s2, etc. (just the name, no Image: coding), same as the flags for previous states. If the succeeding state had multiple flags during its existence, use the first flag that it used.
|
| border_s1, border_s2, ... | optional | yes/no | no |
Set to no to turn off border around non-rectangular flags, e.g. File:Flag of Ohio.svg.
|
| image_p1,image_s1, ... | optional | wikilink | file name | Going further back in history, flags were less common and coats of arms were used instead. Coat of arms images are generally narrower than flag images, so if coat of arms images are displayed at the defined image size used here for flags (i.e. width=30px), they appear too big. Therefore, if you have anything other than a flag/banner image to use for a previous/following entity, fill in this field. Here you must enter all wikilinking as normally done when entering an image, but set the image width to 20px (or higher, depending on the individual image).
|
Which entries should I link to?It is not the intention here to list every single previous/following entity—that would make the infobox look very silly in many cases. Here are some guidleines for what to do (and what not to do). There are no strict rules so please exercise caution and common sense when using this feature.
| ||||
Area and population | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| stat_year1, stat_year2, ... | optional (required if area or population is given) | variable | numerical | It is possible to add multiple values for area and population over time.
|
| stat_area1, stat_area2, ... | optional | variable | numerical | |
| stat_pop1, stat_pop2, ... | optional | variable | numerical | |
Footnotes | ||||
| Field Name | Usage | Type | Values | Description |
| footnotes | optional | free | sentence (free text with wikilinks) | A standard field for footnotes. Use footnotes if there is anything in the infobox that requires further explanation. Supports wikilinks |
Style parameters
The template allows some optional parameters that control the style of the infobox for size and coloring when displayed on a page:
|width = <!-- sets the width of the infobox (default: 290px) --> |boxstyle = <!-- sets the style properties of the whole infobox --> |titlestyle = <!-- sets the style properties of the top title/name area of the infobox -->
Some specific styles for the whole infobox are as follows:
|boxstyle = background:lightgray; <!-- sets the color behind all areas of the infobox --> |boxstyle = border-color:blue; <!-- sets the line around the infobox to the color blue --> |boxstyle = border-width:5px; <!-- sets line width around box to 5 pixels (default: 1px) --> |boxstyle = margin-left:1px; margin-right:7px; <!-- resets the left/right margins of the infobox for similar alignment in both browsers [[Mozilla Firefox]] and [[Internet Explorer]] -->
Some specific styles for the title/name are as follows:
|titlestyle = background:lightgray; <!-- sets the color behind the top title/name area of the infobox --> |titlestyle = color:gold; <!-- sets the text color in top title/name area --> |titlestyle = text-align:left; <!-- shifts title/name text to the left (default: center) -->
For multiple settings, combine all on one line as follows:
|titlestyle = background:lightgray; color:darkgreen;
The properties are separated by semicolons (;), and beware that accidentally omitting semicolons will cause the settings to be ignored. Some style properties cannot be changed such as, setting |titlestyle=margin-left:25px might be ignored, because margin-left is a property, instead, of the whole box, using |boxstyle.
Establishment dates
- First the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the {{{year_start}}}" exists. If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in {{{year_start}}}" exists. If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the DECADEs" where DECADE is the decade containing {{{year_start}}} (e.g. Category:States and territories established in the 110s). If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories established in the Nth century" where N is the century containing {{{year_start}}} (e.g. Category:States and territories established in the 1st century BC). If so, it is added.
The reason for the first case is in case an imprecise date is entered, such as "the 820s" or "the 18th century", before trying exact dates like "1820".
Disestablishment dates
- First the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the {{{year_end}}}" exists. If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in {{{year_end}}}" exists. If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the DECADEs" where DECADE is the decade containing {{{year_end}}} (e.g. Category:States and territories disestablished in the 530s). If so, it is added.
- If not, the template tests to see if "Category:States and territories disestablished in the Nth century" where N is the century containing {{{year_end}}} (e.g. Category:States and territories disestablished in the 1st century BC). If so, it is added.
The reason for the first case is in case an imprecise date is entered, such as "the 820s" or "the 18th century", before trying exact dates like "1820".
Banner
To allow project members to keep track of articles, any page that uses this infobox must be labeled with the WPFC banner. To do this, go to the article's talk page, and add {{WPFC}} to the top of the talk page, if the banner is not there already. See the banner page for more information about the extra parameters that the banner supports. At the absolute minimum, the talk page should contain {{WPFC}}.
