- Paste the text into the top of the clan article
- fill in the information (after the equal sign) using the following guidelines :
- general guideline: the infobox is for quick easy to read solid information, not a place for explaining, detailing or even translating this information. Those details are best left to the article. For instance, avoid translating Latin or Gaelic names, mottos etc. If a translation is needed, please place in the main clan article. Some entries may in exceptional circumstances require an explanation, this is best done using the note link. However, the infobox is a place for references (and challenging unreferenced material). Unreferenced information may be removed.
| label name | guideline | helpful links and sources | |
|---|---|---|---|
| clan name | enter the clans name as on the clan page. | ||
| image badge | this is the place for the link to the clan's crest badge, use just the text of the file name and type, e.g. "Clan member crest badge - Clan Campbell.svg". Warning: do not use the "File:" label that is usually attached before the file name. If no crest badge image can be found, leave entry blank. | Template:Sister project | |

| chiefs motto | enter the official description of the chief's motto, if one exists | The archive of myclan.com | |
| chiefs slogan | enter the official description of the chief's slogan, if one exists | ||
| war cry | enter the official chief's war cry, if one exists. Note the war cry is often the slogan, if the slogan and war cry are the same, it should only be listed as one or the other, but not both. | The Scottish clans and their tartans, page 11 | |
| region | enter the clans region, if known, otherwise leave blank. These regions should be limited to the following entries: Highland- enter: [[Scottish Highland|Highland]] | ||
| district | enter the Scottish location the clan is historically associated with, if it is known. Try and use the old Scottish county location names found at Counties of Scotland. This should be a general area and not a specific point (i.e. not a village, town or barony - but a county or shire) | ||
| gaelic names | enter the official Gaelic name of the clan, if one exists. If several exist, list them, however do not conjugate the name (i.e do not also list the name's Gaelic singular, collective, etc) | ||
| image arms | this is the place for the link to the chief's heraldic arms, use just the text of the file name and type, e.g. Clancampbellcrest.jpg. Warning: do not use the "File:" label that is usually attached before the file name. If no crest badge image can be found, leave entry blank | Template:Sister project | |
| plant badge | enter the clan's official plant badge, if one exists. | The Scottish clans and their tartans, page 9-10 | |

If the clan does not have a chief, the title of the last known chief can be entered. | Burkes Scottish Chiefs Index Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs | |
| chiefs gaelic title | enter the chief's official Gaelic title, if one exists. This is not a translation of the chiefs name into Gaelic but a designation and tradition given from times past. | ||
