![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox law enforcement agency. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
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'
- National law enforcement agencies of 'country'
- Federal law enforcement agencies of 'country'
- Law enforcement agencies of 'divname' or Law enforcement agencies of 'divname', 'country'
- Restricted law enforcement agencies
- International law enforcement agencies
- Multinational law enforcement agencies
- Civilian police agencies
- Military police agencies
- Defunct law enforcement agencies of 'country'
- Fictional law enforcement agencies
These categories will be set if the law enforcement agency's relevant parameter values are used in the template.
The template allows for country namss which are usually preempted with a 'the' for example specifying United Kingdom will result in the template using the United Kingdom. Do not specify the/The United Kingdom as a parameter value.
The template allows for some common category naming which does not comply to the above standard, for example, using in instead of of, and putting the State name first as in 'state' law enforcement agencies.
Cautions
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.
Automatic references
Terms used in this template to describe law enforcement agencies are described in the law enforcement agency article. These terms are referenced back to their definitions by the template, and will appear in any reference list in an article the template is included in.
Potential automatic references are for definitions of:
- Civilian police[1]
- Federal law enforcement agency[2]
- International law enforcement agency[3]
- Local police[4]
- Military police[5]
- Multinational law enforcement agency[6]
- National law enforcement agency[7]
- Police agency[8]
- Religious police[9]
These will be referenced if the law enforcement agency's relevant parameter values are used in the template.
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 non sensical combinations of parameters or missing mandatory paramters.
Secret police
This template does NOT currently allow the characterisation of a law enforcement agency as a secret police organisation.
Acknowledgements
This template was inspired by {{Infobox Govt 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.

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.

Notes for template editors
Automatic categorisation
The automatic categorisation is done by the sub template Template:Infobox Law enforcement agency/autocat.
Automatic categorisation can be turned off by setting the doc parameter to any value. This parameter is not documented above, and is not for use in articles. The doc parameter should only be used for documentation purposes, for example in the template use examples to turn off categorisation of the documentation and the template, etc.
Automatic disambiguation
The automatic disambiguation is done by the sub template Template:Infobox Law enforcement agency/paramdab:
- {{paramdab |paramdab |param |paramtype |paramarea }}. Only parameter 2 is mandatory.
A disambiguable parameter, param, will be disambiguated by the template if possible.
A disambiguable parameter, param, can have its disambiguation set by using the corresponding parameter, paramdab.
The template will try, in order:
- [[paramdab|param]]
- [[param (Paramtype)|param]]
- [[param (paramtype)|param]]
- [[param, Paramarea|param]]
- [[param|param]]
Checklists for template editors
