Template:Infobox law enforcement agency/doc

Function

Purpose

Infobox law enforcement agency is an infobox template for use in articles on individual law enforcement agencies.

The template provides an overview of key:

• structural
• jurisdictional
• operational characteristics

of a law enforcement agency.

Automatic categorisation

This template automatically categorises the article it is placed into. An including article will be categorised into one or more of:

• Law enforcement agencies of 'country'

Caution

If a new combination of paramters 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

Automatic categorisation

If no existing category can be identified for the relevant required categoristion, 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

This template does NOT cross check parameters for nonsensical combinations of parameters or missing mandatory parameters.

Acknowledgements

This template was initially inspired by {{Infobox Government agency}}, February 2008.

Usage

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:

• Remove the ' . . up to N' comments altogether.
• Replace the template list sub skeletons, for example as shown for the international parameter, with a list of names, or with the number of things.

See the examples below for how the skeleton will look after being copied and edited.

Information box width

Some articles may benefit from having a narrower information box than the one generated by default.

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

Use this alternative if you prefer a skeleton with underscored parameter names instead of concatenated parameter names.

Example usage

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 unnecessay 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.
