  1. Template:Infobox economics

Template:Infobox economics is a standardized format used within the Wikipedia project (and adaptable to any MediaWiki installation) to concisely summarize key information about economic concepts, theories, individuals, institutions, and events. This article provides a comprehensive guide to understanding, using, and customizing this template for beginner MediaWiki editors. We will cover its purpose, structure, available parameters, examples, and best practices.

Purpose and Benefits

The primary purpose of the Infobox economics template is to present a consistent and readily understandable overview of an economic subject. It achieves this through a structured presentation of data in a designated box appearing typically in the top-right corner of an article.

Benefits of using an infobox include:

  • Standardization: Ensures a uniform look and feel across articles related to economics, enhancing readability and user experience.
  • Quick Overview: Provides readers with immediate access to crucial information without needing to read the entire article.
  • Navigation: Often includes links to related articles, facilitating further exploration of the subject matter. For example, linking to Gross Domestic Product or Inflation.
  • Data Consolidation: Compiles key data in one place, making it easier to compare different economic concepts.
  • Improved Accessibility: Structured data is more accessible to users with disabilities and can be more easily parsed by search engines.

Template Structure and Parameters

The Infobox economics template is built using MediaWiki's template syntax. It consists of a series of parameters that define the content displayed within the box. Each parameter has a specific name and associated function. Here's a breakdown of the commonly used parameters (note: parameter names are case-insensitive, but consistency is recommended):

  • name: (Required) The name of the economic concept, person, institution, or event. This is the primary title displayed in the infobox.
  • image: The filename of an image to display in the infobox. Use the format `Example.png` or `Example.jpg`.
  • image_size: The width of the image in pixels. For example, `200px`.
  • caption: A brief description of the image.
  • full_name: The full name of a person, if different from the 'name' parameter.
  • birth_date: The date of birth of a person, formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
  • death_date: The date of death of a person, formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`.
  • birth_place: The place of birth of a person.
  • nationality: The nationality of a person or the origin of an institution.
  • occupation: The profession or field of work of a person. Consider linking to Economics or Econometrics.
  • field: The specific area of economics a person specializes in (e.g., macroeconomics, microeconomics, behavioral economics).
  • institution: The institution(s) the person is affiliated with or the organization the infobox represents.
  • key_ideas: A bulleted list of the key ideas or contributions associated with the subject. Use `
    ` to separate items.
  • influenced: A bulleted list of individuals or concepts influenced by the subject. Use `
    ` to separate items.
  • influenced_by: A bulleted list of individuals or concepts that influenced the subject. Use `
    ` to separate items.
  • awards: A list of awards or honors received by a person. Use `
    ` to separate items.
  • website: The official website of the institution or person.
  • footnotes: Any footnotes or references relevant to the infobox.

How to Use the Template

To use the template in a MediaWiki article, simply insert the following code, replacing the placeholder values with the appropriate information:

```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Infobox economics ```

This code will render an infobox with the specified content.

Examples

Let's illustrate the use of the template with a few examples:

Example 1: Adam Smith

```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Infobox economics ```

Example 2: Inflation

```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Infobox economics ```

Example 3: The World Bank

```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Infobox economics ```

Customization and Advanced Usage

While the standard parameters cover most common scenarios, you might need to customize the infobox for specific articles. Here are some advanced techniques:

  • Adding New Parameters: If you need to display information not covered by existing parameters, you can add new ones. However, this should be done cautiously and with consideration for the overall consistency of the template. Consult with other editors before adding new parameters.
  • Conditional Display: You can use MediaWiki's parser functions to conditionally display parameters based on certain conditions. For instance, you might only show the 'death_date' parameter if the subject is deceased.
  • Styling: You can modify the appearance of the infobox using CSS styles. However, be mindful of the overall site style and avoid making changes that disrupt the visual consistency. Styling changes should typically be made to the template's CSS stylesheet, not directly within the article code.
  • Using Templates Within the Infobox: You can embed other templates within the infobox to further enhance its functionality. For example, you could include a template for displaying economic indicators. Consider using templates for Technical Analysis, Fundamental Analysis, and Financial Modeling.

Best Practices

  • Accuracy: Ensure all information presented in the infobox is accurate and supported by reliable sources.
  • Conciseness: Keep the information concise and to the point. Avoid lengthy explanations within the infobox; instead, provide links to relevant sections of the article for more details.
  • Consistency: Follow the established conventions for using the template. Be consistent in formatting dates, names, and other data.
  • Relevance: Only include information that is directly relevant to the subject of the article.
  • Maintainability: Keep the infobox code clean and well-documented to facilitate future maintenance and updates.
  • Avoid Redundancy: Do not repeat information that is already prominently displayed in the article's lead section.
  • Link Appropriately: Use internal links to connect the infobox to other relevant articles within the wiki. Link to concepts like Elasticity, Opportunity Cost, Comparative Advantage, and Game Theory.
  • Consider Accessibility: Ensure the infobox is accessible to users with disabilities by providing appropriate alt text for images and using clear and concise language.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  • Infobox Not Displaying: Check for syntax errors in the template code. Ensure all required parameters are present.
  • Incorrect Formatting: Review the documentation for each parameter to ensure you are using the correct format.
  • Image Not Appearing: Verify that the image file exists and is uploaded to the wiki. Check the image filename and ensure it is correctly specified in the 'image' parameter.
  • Template Conflicts: If you are using multiple templates in the same article, ensure they do not conflict with each other.
