174.21.200.65: update template documentation

{{Documentation subpage}}

This template is used in articles about motor vehicles including, but not necessarily limited to, cars, buses and trucks.

== Usage ==
* See the [[#Parameters|Parameters]] section of this document for detailed explanations of what data to enter in each parameter's field.

* When entering more than one data point per field, use the [[Template:Unbulleted list|unbulleted list template]] <nowiki>{{ubl | fact one | fact two | et cetera }}</nowiki> to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use <nowiki> </nowiki> to create line breaks in the infobox.

* In the infobox templates below, [[WP:AUN|conversion templates]] have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries. When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 '''not''' 4,287.

==Infobox parameters==
;Name: The name field states the brand and model name or brand and model series used in the original or primary market of the subject vehicle. The name appears at the top of the infobox outside the border. Generally, the data entered in this field will match the title of the article.
::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| name = Cadillac ATS</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| name = Honda Civic (first generation)</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| name = BMW 3 Series (E90)</nowiki><code>

;Image: The image field allows an image of the subject vehicle to display in the infobox. The image used in the Infobox must comply with the standards outlined in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Images|Images]] section of WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions. Use an image showing the front three-quarter view (the vehicle parked at an angle relative to the photographer so that the photo shows the front and side of the vehicle) preferably taken against a non-distracting background, containing no other vehicles and with the sun shining from behind the photographer. Enter the image file name and file type extension only.
::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| image = Cadillac_ATS_2013.jpg</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| image = civicgen1.jpg</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| image = 2007 BMW E90 at LA Auto Show.jpg</nowiki><code>

;Caption: The caption field describes the vehicle pictured in the [[#Image|Image]] field above.
::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| caption = 2013 Cadillac ATS</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| caption = 1974 Honda Civic five-door hatchback</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| caption = 2007 BMW 328xi coupé</nowiki><code>

;Manufacturer: The manufacturer field should list the company, division, or subsidiary responsible for the vehicle's engineering and development, which is not necessarily the entity assembling or marketing the vehicle. Do not use this field to list assembly locations, assembly facility names or assembly company names; that data must be entered in the assembly field below.

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| manufacturer = [[General Motors]]</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| manufacturer = [[Honda]]</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| manufacturer = [[BMW]]</nowiki><code>

::You may show the parent company of a given manufacturer in parentheses after the manufacturer entry, if applicable.

::<code><nowiki>| manufacturer = [[Lexus]] ([[Toyota]])</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| manufacturer = [[Mercedes-AMG]] ([[Mercedes-Benz]])</nowiki><code>

;AKA: (Also known as) The AKA field is used to list vehicles that are essentially the same as the subject vehicle, but are sold in other countries under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed in this field may or may not have their own article. Not to be confused with [[#Notes|related]].

::Examples:
::In the [[Ford Escape#Third generation (2013)|Ford Escape]] article –
::<code><nowiki>| aka = [[Ford Kuga]]</nowiki><code>
::In the [[Opel Insignia#http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Insignia#Insignia_A_.282008-present.29|Opel Insignia]] article -
::<code><nowiki>| aka = {{ubl | [[Buick Regal]] | [[Chevrolet Vectra]] | [[Vauxhall Insignia]] }}</nowiki><code>

;Production: The production field is used to state the date production started and the date production ended. Dates should be expressed in years (for example, 2001–2006) or in months and years (for example, April 2001 – November 2006). Full dates should not be used in the production field of the infobox (for example, 7 April 2001 – 16 November 2006); full dates can be stated in the body of the article.

:Vehicles that have not yet entered production should state <code>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}} (to commence)</code>.

:<code>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–</code> is preferable to <code>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–present</code> while we are still in {{CURRENTISOYEAR}}.

:If production started in any year prior to the current year and is still ongoing, <code>2006–present</code>, et cetera, is the preferred style.

:For vehicles sold in [[North America]] where the use of [[model year]]s is widespread, the "model_years" field of the infobox may be used in addition to "production". See [[#model years|model years]] in this document for more information.

::Examples
::<code><nowiki>| production = </nowiki>{{#expr:{{#time:Y}}+1}} (to commence)</code>
::<code><nowiki>| production = </nowiki>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–</code>
::<code><nowiki>| production = 2009–present</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| production = 1973–1979</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| production = December 2004 – October 2011</nowiki></code>

;Model years: The model year field is used to specify the model year designations under which the manufacturer marketed the subject vehicle. This designation is determined by the manufacturer using criteria unique to that manufacturer and may or may not correspond with the calendar year. Do not use months or half years.

:<code>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–</code> is preferable to <code>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–present</code> while we are still in {{CURRENTISOYEAR}}.
If the first model year is any year prior to the current year and sales of the model are ongoing, <code>2006–present</code>, et cetera, is the preferred style.

::Examples
::<code><nowiki>| model_years = </nowiki>{{CURRENTISOYEAR}}–</code>
::<code><nowiki>| model_years = 2010–present</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| model_years = 1974–1979</nowiki></code>

;Assembly: The assembly field should state the country of manufacture first, followed by a [[colon (punctuation)|colon]], and then the exact location, such as the city or town followed by the state or province, if applicable. If the manufacturing or assembly facility has an official name, is a legally incorporated subsidiary, is a partnership, is a joint venture or is an independent third party contractor, list that information in parentheses after the location

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| assembly = United States: [[Lansing, Michigan]] ([[Lansing Grand River Assembly]])</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| assembly = Japan: [[Suzuka, Mie]]</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| assembly = {{ubl | Germany: [[Rüsselsheim]] | Finland: [[Uusikaupunki]] ([[Valmet Automotive]]) | Canada: [[Cambridge, Ontario]] ([[Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada|TMMC]]) }}</nowiki></code>

;Predecessor: The predecessor field should state the manufacturer and model name of the vehicle that the subject vehicle replaced. Wikilink the entry as appropriate.

;Successor: The successor field should state the manufacturer and model name of the vehicle that replaced the subject vehicle. Wikilink the entry as appropriate.

;Class: The class field is used to state the [[Car classification|class]] segment to which the subject vehicle belongs.

::Example:
::<code><nowiki>| class = [[Mid-size car|Mid-size]]</nowiki></code>

;Body style: The body field is used to list the different available [[Car body style|Body style]]s of the article subject. State the number of doors and the body style.

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| body_style = 4-door sedan</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| body_style = {{ubl | 2-door [[coupé]] | 4-door [[sedan]] | 5-door [[station wagon]] }}</nowiki></code>

;Layout: The [[Automobile layout|layout]] field is used to state subject vehicle's [[powertrain|drivetrain/powertrain]] configuration.

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| body_style = FF-T [[Front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout|Transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive]]</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki>| body_style = {{ubl | FR ([[Front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout|Front-engine, rear-wheel drive]]) | F4 ([[Front-engine, four-wheel drive layout|Front-engine, four-wheel drive]])}}</nowiki></code>

;Platform: The platform field is used to state the name of the platform, architecture or module upon which the subject vehicle is built. If the subject vehicle is not based on a plaform, architecture or module, leave this field blank.

::Example:
::<code><nowiki>| body_style = [[GM Sigma platform]]</nowiki></code>

;Engine: The engine field is used to state an engine's displacement, the engine name/code in italics, the [[Engine configuration#Categorisation by piston motion|cylinder arrangement]] and cylinder count, and then in parentheses, the type of forced induction (if applicable) and [[Internal combustion engine#Fuels|fuel type]]. Engine outputs and other data should be excluded. For fuel type, the terms "gasoline" (American English) or "petrol" (British English) should be used depending upon the spelling convention of the article.

:The displacement should be written in liters (L) or cubic centimeters (cc) unless the engine was originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches. When working with cubic inches, use the convert template <code><nowiki>{{convert|cuin|L|0|abbr=on|disp=flip}}</nowiki></code>.

::Examples in Liters (L):
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 0.8 L ''[[Alpha]]'' [[straight-three engine|I3]] (gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 0.8 L ''[[Alpha]]'' [[straight-three engine|I3]] (gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 1.8 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] (gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 1.8 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] (gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 1.8 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] gasoline/electric)</nowiki></code> displays as: 1.8 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] gasoline/electric)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 2.0 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 2.0 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 3.0 L ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel)</nowiki></code> displays as: 3.0 L ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel)

:Use the [[Template:Unbulleted list|unbulleted list template]] to display multiple entries:
::<code><nowiki>| engine = {{ubl | 2.0 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline) | 3.0 L ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel) }}</nowiki></code>
:::displays as:
::::{{ubl | 2.0 L ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline) | 3.0 L ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel) }}

:Cubic centimeters (cc) may be used where appropriate.

::Examples in cubic centimeters (cc):
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 789 cc ''[[Alpha]]'' [[straight-three engine|I3]] (gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 789 cc ''[[Alpha]]'' [[straight-three engine|I3]] (gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 1,794 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] (gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 1,794 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] (gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 1,794 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] gasoline/electric)</nowiki></code> displays as: 1,794 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] gasoline/electric)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 1,998 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: 1,998 cc ''[[Delta]]'' [[inline-four engine|I4]] ([[supercharger|supercharged]] gasoline)
::<code><nowiki>| engine = 2,980 cc ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel)</nowiki></code> displays as: 2,980 cc ''[[Zeta]]'' [[V6 engine|V6]] ([[turbocharger|turbocharged]] diesel)

:Cubic inches (cu in) may be used if the engine was originally engineered, designated, and marketed in cubic inches. When working with cubic inches, use the convert template <code><nowiki>{{convert| |cuin|L|0|abbr=on|disp=flip}}</nowiki></code>. We abbreviate cubic inches using ''{{nowrap|cu in}}'' rather than ''in3'' or ''CID''.

::Example in cubic inches (cu in):
::<code><nowiki>| engine = {{convert|350|cuin|0|abbr=on|disp=flip}} ''[[Gamma]]'' [[V8 engine|V8]] (gasoline)</nowiki></code> displays as: {{convert|350|cuin|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} ''[[Gamma]]'' [[V8 engine|V8]] (gasoline)

;Transmission: The transmission field is used to state the number of forward-facing gears, the transmission name/code in italics, and the transmission type. The number of forward facing gears should be expressed numerically (for example: 5-speed) rather than alphabetically (for example: five-speed).

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>|transmission = 5-speed ''[[Alpha]]'' manual</nowiki></code> displays as: 5-speed ''[[Alpha]]'' manual
::<code><nowiki>|transmission = 6-speed ''[[Beta]]'' automatic</nowiki></code> displays as: 6-speed ''[[Beta]]'' automatic
::<code><nowiki>|transmission = [[continuously variable transmission|CVT]] ''[[Gamma]]'' automatic</nowiki></code> displays as: [[continuously variable transmission|CVT]] ''[[Gamma]]'' automatic
::<code><nowiki>|transmission = {{ubl | 6-speed ''[[Transmission Technologies Corporation|Tremec]] M3L TR-3160'' manual | 6-speed ''[[Hydramatic|Hydra-Matic]] 6L45'' automatic}}</nowiki></code>

;Dimensions and weights: The wheelbase, length, width, height and weight fields are used to state dimensions and weights.

:Weights may be stated as a range, when appropriate. For example, for a particular body style, the base model with the small engine usually weighs the least, while the same body style with a bigger, optional engine usually weighs more. If this is the case, the infobox shows the lowest weight and highest weight for a particular body style as a range.

:Do list separate data for each body style (coupe, sedan, wagon, etc.) but do ''not'' list separate data for each trim or option level. Use the [[Template:Unbulleted list|unbulleted list template]] to display multiple entries:

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| wheelbase = {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| length = {{convert|4643|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| width = {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| height = {{convert|1410|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| weight = {{convert|1628|-|1703|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code>

::OR

::<code><nowiki>| wheelbase = {{ubl | {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|2766|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| length = {{ubl | {{convert|4643|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|4668|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| width = {{ubl | {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1806|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| height = {{ubl | {{convert|1410|-|1425|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1425|in|1|mm|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}</nowiki></code> 
::<code><nowiki>| weight = {{ubl | {{convert|1628|-|1703|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} (sedan) | {{convert|1711|-|1768|kg|0|abbr=on}} (wagon) }}</nowiki></code> 

;Related: The related field is intended for listing similar vehicles that share considerable componentry with the subject vehicle, however do not list vehicles that merely share the same [[Automobile platform|platform]]. Vehicles listed in this field usually have their own articles.

;Designer:
The designer field is used to record the name(s) of the vehicle's exterior designer.

::Examples:
::<code><nowiki>| designer = [[Wayne Cherry]]</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| designer = [[Luc Donckerwolke]]</nowiki><code>
::<code><nowiki>| designer = {{ubl | Designer1 | Designer2 | Etcetera }}</nowiki></code>

;Sp: The sp field controls the display spelling of the Curb weight/Kerb weight parameter in the Infobox to match the spelling convention of the article.

::Enter <code>us</code> for American English (default); enter <code>uk</code> for British English.

=== Notes ===
* '''Aka''' versus '''Related''': ''Aka'' is intended for alternate names such as the name give in a foreign [[market]]s, where the subject vehicle is offered under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed the AKA field typically do not have their own articles, instead redirecting to the original article. ''Related'' is intended for listing similar vehicles that share considerable componentry (but beyond mere [[automobile platform|platform]] sharing). Cars in the Related field usually have their own articles.

== Description ==
Below are basic description of what data should be entered for each parameter. For detailed explanations of what data to enter in each parameter and instructions on how to correctly format the data, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Infoboxes|WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions]].

* '''Name''': the brand and model name or brand and model series used in the original or primary market of the subject vehicle
* '''Image''': a front three-quarter view (the vehicle parked at an angle relative to the photographer so that the photo shows the front and side of the vehicle) preferably taken against a non-distracting background, containing no other vehicles and with the sun shining from behind the photographer
* '''Caption''': description of the infobox image ''if'' clarification or disambiguation is required
* '''Manufacturer''': the entity responsible for the vehicle's development, although not necessarily the company that physically assembles the vehicle
* '''Aka''': other names of the subject vehicle – See [[#Notes|Notes]] below for guidance on "Aka" vs. "Related".
* '''[[Model year]]s''': the model years during which the subject vehicle was marketed – do not use months or half-years
* '''Production''': [[calendar year]] (not [[model year]]) range during which the subject vehicle was produced – months are recommended if available, but exact dates are discouraged
* '''Assembly''': cities and countries in which the subject vehicle is assembled
* '''Predecessor''': previous model from the manufacturer in the segment or similar – leave empty if there is none
* '''Successor''': subsequent model from the manufacturer in the segment or similar – leave empty if there is none
* '''[[Car classification|Class]]''': segment to which the subject vehicle belongs
* '''[[Car body style|Body style]]''': number of doors and body type of the subject vehicle
* '''[[Automobile layout|Layout]]''': layout of the subject vehicle's [[powertrain|drivetrain/powertrain]]
* '''[[Automobile platform|Platform]]''': If the manufacturer uses vehicle platforms/modules/architectures, list the platform/module/architecture name upon which the subject vehicle is based
* '''Engine''': nominal displacement per [[WP:AUN|displacement conventions]], the engine name/code in italics, the engine type, and then in parentheses, the type of forced induction (if applicable) and fuel type. Engine outputs and other data should be excluded.
* '''[[Transmission (mechanics)|Transmission]]''': number of forward gear ratios, the transmission name/code in italics and the transmission type
::Examples:
:::<code><nowiki>6-speed ''[[Transmission Technologies Corporation|Tremec]] M3L TR-3160'' manual</nowiki></code> displays as: 6-speed ''[[Transmission Technologies Corporation|Tremec]] M3L TR-3160'' manual
:::<code><nowiki>6-speed ''[[Hydramatic|Hydra-Matic]] 6L45'' automatic</nowiki></code> displays as: 6-speed ''[[Hydramatic|Hydra-Matic]] 6L45'' automatic
:::<code><nowiki>[[Continuously variable transmission|CVT]] ''Gamma'' automatic</nowiki></code> displays as: [[Continuously variable transmission|CVT]] ''Gamma'' automatic
* '''[[Wheelbase]]''': nominal wheelbase of the subject vehicle
* '''Length''': nominal length (excluding any non-standard towing equipment) of the subject vehicle
* '''Width''': nominal width (excluding door mirrors) of the subject vehicle
* '''Height''': nominal height of the subject vehicle
* '''Weight''': kerb/curb weight range of the subject vehicle showing the lowest weight and the highest weight for a given body style. Create separate range entries for each body style (coupe, sedan, hatchback, wagon) but do not list the weight of every trim/option level.
* '''Related''': other vehicles which share a large majority of components and/or are based on the same [[Automobile platform|platform]] as the subject vehicle. See [[#Notes|Notes]] below for guidance on "Aka" vs. "Related".
* '''Designer''': the name of the individual and/or the design firm credited for the design of the subject vehicle's body
* '''Sp''': the spelling convention – Enter <code>us</code> for American English (default); enter <code>uk</code> for British English.
::'''Note:''' The <code>| sp = </code> parameter affects only the display spelling of the "Weight" parameter, displaying either "Curb weight" (American English) or "Kerb weight" (British English).

=== Notes ===
* '''Aka''' versus '''Related''': ''Aka'' is intended for alternate names such as the name give in a foreign [[market]]s, where the subject vehicle is offered under a different brand and/or model name. Vehicles listed in this parameter typically do not have their own articles, instead redirecting to the original article. ''Related'' is intended for listing similar vehicles that share considerable componentry (but beyond mere [[automobile platform|platform]] sharing). Cars in this field usually have their own articles.

== Usage ==
This template is used in articles about [[Automobile platform|motor vehicle platforms]].

* See the [[#Description|Description]] section of this document for '''basic''' explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.

* See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Infoboxes|WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions]] for '''detailed''' explanations of what data to enter in certain parameters and instructions on how to correctly format the data.

* When entering more than one data point per parameter, use the [[Template:Unbulleted list|unbulleted list template]] <nowiki>{{ubl | fact one | fact two | et cetera }}</nowiki> to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use <nowiki> </nowiki> to create line breaks in the infobox.

* In the infobox templates below, [[WP:AUN|conversion templates]] have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries. When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 '''not''' 4,287.
