Usage

This is a meta-template used by all of the tropical cyclone scale subboxes for Template:Infobox weather event. It is used to standardize all scale-based subboxes. This meta-template, in turn, relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology.

You can create a new scale box using other scale boxes as a references, or use you can use the following form for an easier and guided experience. <inputbox> type=create preload=Template:Infobox weather event/scale/preload buttonlabel=Create scale subbox prefix=Template:Infobox weather event/ placeholder=Scale name summary=Creating weather event infobox subbox. </inputbox>

Scale	scale	Scale used to quantify the meteorological data. If the scale is used by multiple agencies, consider supplying "agency". Example [[Saffir–Simpson scale|SSHWS]]	Content	suggested
Maximum sustained winds	winds	The maximum sustained winds of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum wind gusts (provided with "gusts"). Supply value in knots. Example 124	Number	suggested
Maximum winds prefix	winds-prefix	Prefix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum winds suffix	winds-suffix	Suffix for the maximum sustained winds. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Maximum wind gust	gusts	The maximum wind gust of a given storm. Not to be confused with maximum sustained winds (provided with "winds"). Supply value in knots. Example 164	Number	suggested
Maximum gusts prefix	gusts-prefix	Prefix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Maximum gusts suffix	gusts-suffix	Suffix for the maximum wind gusts. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Beaufort scale	beaufort-scale beaufort scale	The maximum sustained winds on the Beaufort scale. Rarely used except for historical storms; consider using "winds" instead.	Number	optional
Lowest pressure	pressure	Lowest pressure, usually measured near the storm's center. Supply value in hectopascals/millibars (hPa/mbar). Example 975	Number	suggested
Lowest pressure prefix	pressure-prefix	Prefix for the pressure. Use this to add approximation symbols, such as '~', '<', or '>'. Example ~	String	optional
Lowest pressure suffix	pressure-suffix	Suffix for the lowest pressure. Use this to add references, footnotes, or other content.	Content	optional
Category only?	categoryonly	Only return the category of this storm as a string. Useful if you only want the category of a storm based on meteorological data, but not the actual box itself. Default no	Boolean	optional
