Editing Encyclopedia:Chemical infobox (section)

== How to use these infoboxes ==

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
# Copy and paste '''one''' of the following three templates listed in {{tl|Chembox}}.
# Fill in the details; empty fields are okay.

See ''[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Wikipedia:Chemical infobox|What links here]]'' in the ''toolbox'' on this wikipage, and the [[wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Organization|Chemicals WikiProject worklist]] to find wikipages as examples of use.

=== Risk and safety statements ===

Use [[:template:H-phrases|H-phrases]] and [[:template:P-phrases|P-phrases]] templates to provide popup explanations of their meanings. R and S phrases are long obsolete.

=== Supplementary data page ===

If using the full Chembox, a supplementary page should be created as soon as time allows.  This is most simply done by clicking on the red link in the table <u>Supplementary data page</u>, then type <nowiki>{{subst:Chembox supplement}}</nowiki>. Save the page, then edit to enter the information.

===Validation===
A bot tracks these infoboxes to validate certain data (like CAS RN), and to track changes to usually stable values (like melting point).

See [[WP:CHEMVAL]].
