Tasks

Infobox templates:

• Template:Plantbox
  • Its documentation: Template:Plantbox/doc
  • Blank, commented proforma: Template:NewPlant
  • Filled out example: Acacia
  • Form:Plant
• Template:Animalbox
  • Template:Animalbox/doc
  • Template:NewAnimal

To add a new property to Plants:

1. Make a new page, 'Property:XX', and decide on the property's type and allowed values.
2. Edit Form:Plant and add a field for the property. The name you give the field must also be used as its name in Plantbox.
3. Edit Template:Plantbox and add the new property's field in two places:
   1. In the first section, to assign the field's value to the actual property
   2. In the bottom section, to display the value in the infobox

To add a new 'class', similar to Plant:

1. Decide on all the properties of the class, their types, and their allowed values. Remember that values are not exclusive -- a page's property can have several different values at once.
2. Make an infobox template, patterned after Template:Plantbox. This needs to perform 3 tasks:
   1. Accept, in its arguments, all the information needed to populate all the properties of a class instance.
   2. Use its arguments to assign values to all those properties.
   3. Use either its arguments or the newly populated properties to display an infobox.
3. Create a form using Special:CreateForm. Give the infobox template as the input template for the form.
