Template:Infobox law enforcement agency
Function[edit source]Purpose[edit source]Infobox law enforcement agency is an infobox template for use in articles on individual law enforcement agencies. The template provides an overview of key:
of a law enforcement agency. Automatic categorisation[edit source]This template automatically categorises the article it is placed into. An including article will be categorised into one or more categories according to the law enforcement agency article categorisation standards of the Law Enforcement Wikiproject. These categories will be set if the law enforcement agency's relevant parameter values are used in the template. Automatic categorisation is currently undergoing enhancement, as of 7 November 2008, and not all of this categorisation is currently being done automatically. The template allows for country names which are usually pre-empted with a 'the' for example specifying United Kingdom will result in the template using the United Kingdom. Do not specify the/The United Kingdom as a parameter value. The template allows for some common category naming which does not comply to the above standard, for example, using in instead of of, and putting the State name first as in 'state' law enforcement agencies. Cautions[edit source]If a new combination of parameters is used, then the expected category for automatic categorisation might not exist. If so, manually create the necessary category. This is a once off process. See also Deficiencies - Automatic categorisation below. There might be problems when (very) non standard naming conventions have been used for existing categories. These non standard named categories will slowly disappear over time and become deprecated, being replaced by standard named ones. Deficiencies[edit source]Automatic categorisation[edit source]If no existing category can be identified for the relevant required categorisation, then the least standard / least preferred category name structure might be "red linked". The standard for category naming should be used, NOT necessarily the "red linked" form. Parameter checking[edit source]This template does NOT cross check parameters for nonsensical combinations of parameters or missing mandatory parameters. Acknowledgements[edit source]This template was initially inspired by {{Infobox Government agency}}, February 2008. Usage[edit source]The following skeleton can be copied and edited into an article. For a description of each parameter, see Template parameters, below. The skeleton contains some abbreviations for the sake of brevity and these are not actual wiki text. Accordingly they need to be edited or removed as follows:
See the examples below for how the skeleton will look after being copied and edited.

Adding |narrowerbox = Yes will reduce the width of the generated information box. Note this might cause the length of the generated information box to increase, due to increased text wrap within table cells in the information box. Editors should take care to check the presentation of the information box if they add or remove this parameter. Alternative skeleton[edit source]Use this alternative if you prefer a skeleton with underscored parameter names instead of concatenated parameter names.
Example usage[edit source]The text of the presented template instantiations in the examples below has been manually wrapped to get a better fit in the browser frame. Do not add unnecessary new lines when using the template. Varying frame width and screen resolution, then you might still get "overflow" from one example to the next example, etc., when viewing this documentation. New York Police Department[edit source]

Notes for template editors[edit source]Snapshot information boxes[edit source]To put a snapshot copy of the information box from a main article for a law enforcement agency in an article related to the law enforcement agency:
Also categorise the new Foo City Police template into Category:Snapshotinfoboxes for law enforcement agencies. If any images for patch, logo, badge, flag are provided, then the first image in this list is placed in the noncollapsible section of the infobox and any further images are placed in the collapsible section of the infobox by the template. Usage for snapshot information boxes[edit source]Usage for the Foo City Police snapshot information box template will be:
This is available via {{Infobox law enforcement agency/snapshotinfoboxusage |Foo City Police}}. Automatic categorisation[edit source]The automatic bulk categorisation is done by the sub template Template:Infobox law enforcement agency/autocat. The automatic single categorisation, for a snapshot information box, is done in the main template. Automatic categorisation can be turned off by setting the doc parameter to any value. This parameter is not documented above, and is not for use in articles. The doc parameter should only be used for documentation purposes, for example in the template use examples to turn off categorisation of the documentation and the template, etc. If the template cannot find a geographic category for the article, country sub division, country division, or country, then the article is placed in to the hidden category Category:Law enforcement agency articles with no available geographic category. Automatic disambiguation[edit source]The automatic disambiguation is done by the sub template Template:Infobox law enforcement agency/paramdab:
A disambiguable parameter, param, will be disambiguated by the template if possible. A disambiguable parameter, param, can have its disambiguation set by using the corresponding parameter, paramdab. The template will try, in order:
If there is no link available the article is placed into the hidden category Category:Law enforcement agency articles with no operations jurisdiction link. Regression testing[edit source]To assist in the testing of changes to existing parameters, temporarily add the following to the entry point template: {{#if:{{{parameter|}}}|[[Category:Infobox law enforcement agency parameter use]]}} This will allow the quick checking of articles which use the relevant parameter via the hidden category Category:Infobox law enforcement agency parameter use. Checklists for template editors[edit source]Adding or modifying a parameter:
