Template:Infobox element/group

group n/a

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

To be used inside {{Infobox element}}. Produces an line of text with proper links. It can take its parameters from existing infobox parameters (no changes needed in most individual infoboxes).

{{infobox element/group
|group={{{group|}}}
|category={{{category|}}}
|number={{{number|}}}
|predicted={{{predicted|}}}
}}

It uses group number to produce (show) basic text & links. This text is overruled by series (lanthanides, actinides, superactinides): they get their own text (currently: the n/a link). All this can be top-overruled by individual atomic number text (e.g. 1 Hydrogen) for special situations.

Required is either one of the three overruling series names or a group number. In case of an error, the template page (not the element article) is listed in Category:Element templates that need attention for maintenance check. The error is not shown on the article page.

Demo

group, nr or series	shows in infobox	note
1, H	group 1	1, H set by atomic number exception to overrule default text for group=1 (not an alkali metal)
57, La	group 3	set by atomic number
71, Lu	n/a	Lu, 71: set by category=lanthanide
89, Ac	group 3	set by atomic number exception
103, Lr	n/a	103, Lr: set by category=lanthanide
109, Mt	group 9 (predicted)	set |predicted=yes for demo purposes only
117, Ts	group 17	117, Ts set by atomic number exception to overrule default text for group=17 (not a verified halogen)
118, Og	group 18	118, Og set by atomic number exception to overrule default text for group=18 (not a verified noble gas)
121, Ubu	n/a	set by series=superactinides
1	group 1 (alkali metals)
2	group 2 (alkaline earth metals)
3	group 3
4	group 4
5	group 5
6	group 6
7	group 7
8	group 8
9	group 9
10	group 10

19		(by software error only)
n/a		(by software error only) <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">group=n/a</syntaxhighlight> input should have been overruled by being lan/act/superact series
