+ | === How to make tropical cyclone infoboxes? === |
||
⚫ | |||

+ | |text = '''Note''': This section serves as a guide to add infoboxes in the classic rich-text editor and the source editor, but can be also be used in VisualEditor (in source mode). |
||
+ | |type = minor |

||
⚫ | |||
+ | If you're using [[Help:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]], open the toolbar's settings menu and click on Source Editor. If you're using [[Help:Classic editor|classic editor]], click the Source tab above the edit area. |
||
− | Okay, this is how infoboxes are made: |
||
− | *First you type in <nowiki>{{Infobox hurricane new</nowiki>. |
||
− | *Then you specify which basin your hypothetical tropical cyclone is in. Here is the list: |
||
− | :*Atlantic: Atl |
||
− | :*Eastern or Central Pacific: EPac |
||
− | :*Western Pacific: WPac |
||
− | :*North Indian Ocean: NIO |
||
− | :*Southern Hemisphere: SHem |
||
− | ::#South-West Indian Ocean: SWI |
||
− | ::#Australian Region: Aus |
||
− | ::#South Pacific: SPac |
||
− | Type <nowiki>|Basin=(name of basin)</nowiki> after #1. |
||
− | *Third, you type in an appropriate image that shows your storm at peak intensity. It should say: <nowiki>|Image=(name of image).(file format)</nowiki>. |
||
− | OPTIONAL: Use <nowiki>|Track=(file name of track)</nowiki> if you have a track of the storm. |
||
− | *Fourth, you type in the date your cyclone formed. Type it in as <nowiki>|Formed=(date of formation)</nowiki>. |
||
− | *Fifth, you type in the date your cyclone dissipated. Type it in as <nowiki>|Dissipated=(date of dissipation)</nowiki>. |
||
− | *Sixth, you type in how strong your cyclone is in knots. You can use <nowiki>|1-min winds</nowiki>, <nowiki>|3-min winds</nowiki>, or <nowiki>|10-min winds</nowiki>. '''The value must be a number!''' |
||
− | OPTIONAL: Type <nowiki>|Gusts=(gusts in knots)</nowiki> to tell how strong gusts were. '''This value must be a number!''' |
||
− | *Seventh, you type in how strong your cyclone is in millibars. Type in <nowiki>|Pressure=(pressure in millibars)</nowiki> in the template. |
||
− | The following is only needed for Category 6+ storms or subtropical cyclones: |
||
− | *Enter <nowiki>|Type=(category name)</nowiki> to specify your category. You can find a list of categories [[Template:Tropical cyclone template values|here]]. |
||
− | *Specify which warning center your cyclone is being warned on. I think "CPHC", "IMD", "JMA", and "NHC" all work. |
||
− | *Finally, type in <nowiki>}}</nowiki> to complete your template. |

Revision as of 23:10, 30 June 2020
Are you new to the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki? Do you want to learn more about how to make a hypothetical tropical cyclone season here? Well, you have come to the right place! This article is a guide to making your very own tropical cyclone season on this wiki!
Steps
How to make a tropical cyclone season?
There are several ways to make a tropical cyclone season.
- Go to the top right of the community header and click on the paper icon (located to the right of the "15,718 pages" section). From there, the "Create a new article" box will pop up asking you what you want to call your season/article (you can also skip this by directly going to Special:CreatePage).
- When choosing an article name, you enter the year you want the season to take place (e.g., a past year such as 2018) and what tropical cyclone basin you want it to take place in (e.g., the East Pacific basin). Enter this information in the "Write your page title here" box.
- You can also decide between a standard page layout or a blank page. The standard layout provides image and video placeholders as well as section headings.
Here are some tropical cyclone basin examples:
- Atlantic (Atlantic hurricane season);
- Eastern and Central Pacific (Pacific hurricane season);
- Western Pacific (Pacific typhoon season);
- Southern Pacific (South Pacific cyclone season);
- South-Western Indian Ocean (South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season);
- Australian region (Australian region cyclone season);
- Northern Indian Ocean (North Indian Ocean cyclone season).
After this step, you are redirected to the season creation page.
How to make tropical cyclone infoboxes?
For making hurricane infoboxes, use the following information:
If you're using VisualEditor, open the toolbar's settings menu and click on Source Editor. If you're using classic editor, click the Source tab above the edit area.
Copy this to the page:
{{Infobox hurricane new | Basin = (Insert basin, eg. Atl, SAtl, EPac, WPac, NIO, SHem, SWI, Aus, SPac) | Image = (Any image file) | Formed = (Formation date) | Dissipated = (Dissipation date) | 1-min winds = (The storm's wind speeds, in knots) | Pressure = (The storm's pressure) | Type = (If a storm from another basin, use storm type) | WarningCenter = (If a custom storm, type the warning center here) }}
Some of the options you can use for the Type field are listed in this table below. It's very extensive and includes custom TC template values made by other users. Asking their permission first before using their custom values is advised. Template values include:

Examples
Here are some storm examples:
Hurricane Huko
{{Infobox hurricane new | Basin = Atl | Image = Fiona 2016.jpg | Formed = October 25 | Dissipated = October 30 | 1-min winds = 175 | Pressure = 918 | Type = cat6 | WarningCenter = CPHC }}
The above becomes:
Category 6 hurricane (CPHC) | |
Duration | October 25 – October 30 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 200 mph (325 km/h) (1-min) 918 mbar (hPa) |
Another example:
Cyclonic Storm Phet-Kurt
This:
{{Infobox hurricane new | Basin = NIO | Image = 04W.2020.jpg | Formed = June 6 | Dissipated = June 9 | 3-min winds = 40 | Pressure = 994 | Type = cyclstorm | WarningCenter = IMD }}
Becomes:
Cyclonic storm (IMD) | |
Duration | June 6 – June 9 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 75 km/h (45 mph) (3-min) 994 hPa (mbar) |
