Biocrawler:Chemical infobox
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
| This page is considered a guideline on Biocrawler. It illustrates standards or behaviors which some or many editors agree with in principle. However, it is not policy. Feel free to update the page as needed, but please use the discussion page to propose major changes. |
This page presents several chemical infoboxes to present chemical compound property data in a standardized form. They are to be used on all chemical articles, and as such are actively being used in the Chemicals WikiProject.

Disclaimer
These tables are constructed by experts in the field of chemical sciences, as well as amateurs and possibly less knowledgeable passers-by. Although these tables are well designed, and useful to present the relevant chemical data, the accuracy of information they contain cannot be guaranteed. This also applies to the information in the Hazards section, which is provided for reference value only. When handling chemicals, always take the proper precautions as defined also by other reliable sources of information.
All data as presented in these tables is for materials in their standard state, which is at 25 °C and 100 kPa by definition. If values are given for other conditions, this is explicitly indicated.
Infobox styles
The following three infoboxes are developed and used in the Chemistry WikiProject. Please use them where appropriate. See the Worklist of the Chemicals WikiProject for wikipages with practical examples.

Note: After extensive discussion and peer review, the standard table has been completely revised, as of May 16, 2005.
Simple infoboxes for starting articles
Currently two simple infoboxes are available to be used in starting wikipages, and chem-stub pages. They can be replaced later by the full infobox above.
| The {{Chembox simple organic}} is an abbreviated form for organic chemical compounds and substances. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
| The {{Chembox simple inorganic}} is the abbreviated form for inorganic chemical compounds and substances. |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
How to use these templates
These templates are for creating new infoboxes in wikipages which have no (current) infobox yet. The following steps indicate how to do this.
- Edit the chemicals article to add the infobox to
- Type the text {{subst:chembox}} on the top line
- Save the page. Now the template text is substituted by the actual infobox code
- Edit the article again, and now the infobox is available for editing
If there was an infobox with outdated format already on the wikipage, you can move all relevant data to the new table and delete the old one.
See What links here in the toolbox on this wikipage, and the Chemicals WikiProject worklist to find wikipages as examples of use.
