Just quick documentation to make this ready to go. I'll get this sorted (as with other IH variants) after the primary rollout.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
((Infobox Hurricane Small | Type=Hurricane | Basin=Atl | Image=Hurricane Katrina August 28 2005 NASA.jpg | Track=Katrina 2005 track.png | Formed=[[August 23]], [[2005]] | Dissipated=[[August 30]], [[2005]] | 1-min winds=150 | Pressure=902))
Try to include 1-minute values for all storms. If the storm is in a basin where another measurement takes priority and has one, for instance 3-mins in the NIO, still include the 1-minute value. The value will not be displayed in the "winds" but is needed to determine the SSHS category.
If no image is available (for example in an older storm), use the track map for the image. Be sure to include the type of storm as in Template:Infobox Hurricane.
Why is this template duplicated at ((Infobox hurricane small))? The latter is properly named as neither Hurricane nor Small are proper nouns... — jdorje (talk) 04:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Can we put a second bar up if the cyclone the template is for is still active.... I can't do it but will someone else do it? Itfc+canes=me (talk) 16:48, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Hurricane editors should know by now that date ranges are not separated by WP:EMDASHes, rather by WP:ENDASHes. The syntax here is too complicate for me to fix; please address. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I am proposing that there should be a <br/> between the wind speed and the pressure? We have a tropical deppression this hurricane season, which a wiki user decided not to put in a track image. --Mfs1013 (talk) 09:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Lately, there has been a change in the Infobox's appearance. In my opinion, this change has made the Infobox too small, and when there is no image or track present, it is slightly elongated with a third line, which did not occur with the original look. I say we go back to there. Thoughts? -- TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 02:06, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I have recently been toying with the idea of adding a new optional parameter to complement (({Pressure))}, much as (({Pressurepre))} currently does for ≤, ≥, <, or >. If a pressure value is unofficial or contested—that is, it is not extracted from an official source, or is in conflict with another source, but is the lowest reading available for a cyclone—I think a brief designation as such would be useful at the end of the pressure. My idea for the parameter: “(({Postpressure))} Optional Use this to add an important note on the value of Pressure, i.e, whether or not it is officially listed in [tropical cyclone database listed here].” How may I incorporate (({Postpressure))} into the coding for Template:Infobox hurricane small? Thanks for the help! CapeVerdeWave (talk) 00:21, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
In the value for WarningCenter if I try to put in an agency besides JMA or JTWC it appears like this: (HKO]]). This is evident in the 1970 Pacific typhoon season. I tried to locate where the code was in the template but was unsuccessful. Supportstorm (talk) 21:20, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale that is related to the template is a little messed up. In the 2014–15 season for Australian region cyclone Marcia was a Category 4 at only 100 knots. There is another case in which cyclone Adjali was classified as a category 1 with only winds of 55 knots. Please help to fix.Damien4794 (talk) 13:23, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
(Very Strong Typhoon) and (Violent Typhoon)
should be added for multiple reason
1:it can be hard to find the strongest storms sometimes cause all of them say Typhoon for all of them.
2:most split typhoons into 2 or 3 class but for some reason everyone leaves it as 1 http://www.typhooncommittee.org/tropical-cyclone-classification/
3:typhoon class looks out of place compared to the other scales
4:it will help for being more informative for people to see
this would be very helpful to do , me and others i talk to would stop getting confused by what storm is what with everything just called Typhoon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshoctober16 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Is it possible to render 1-min and 2-min fields with non-breaking hyphens. Breaking hyphens look untidy. Gaius Cornelius (talk) 11:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
