 | This templateshould always besubstituted – use{{subst:Infobox military installation/Burg}}. Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
This template,{{Infobox military installation/Burg}}, is designed to support articles on German, Austrian and Swiss castles (orBurge) that have been translated from German Wikipedia. It works byshimming the German parameters into those used by{{Infobox military installation}}, such that all parameters are automatically translated, along with many of the standard data entries. This massively reduces the workload for translators and facilitates the rapid transfer of tabular information from German Wikipedia.
This should always be substituted.
The template is not intended for German palace-castles (Schlösser) or manor houses (Herrenhäuser).
To display the infobox in articles, just copy the original infobox from German Wikipedia. All usable parameters will be automatically translated. Some standard data entries will also be translated; the remainder need to be translated manually. Empty parameters will not be displayed. (Name = has the same effect as a missing parameterName).

| Parameter | English meaning | Explanation | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Name | Name in the title of the infobox, usually the name of the article. If left blank it will display the article name. Can be used in order to get rid of any suffix in the title. | |
| Alternativname | Alternative name | The historic name of the castle. Also modern alternative names, where they are commonly used in authoritative sources. | |
| Bild | Image | Name of the image file. Landscape images work better than upright ones and should therefore be preferred. | |
| Bildbeschreibung | Caption | The text which appears under the image. It makes sense to give the orientation of the image (from the north, north wall, …), the location it was taken from (seen from xxx), time of year, if relevant. At a minimum this information should be covered in detail in the image file itself. | |
| Entstehungszeit | Built | The earliest known existence of the castle based on written or archaeological evidence. Tip: the true date of construction may be much older than when it was first mentioned in the records. An exact date of construction does not have to be known, relative or only estimated dates (e. g. "probably in the 12th century", "before 1236") should be respected. | |
| Typologie n. geo. Lage | Type | Type of castle Tip: The following types of castle are considered as a lowland castle (Niederungsburg orFlachlandburg).
|
if necessary alsoKammlage;Spornlage;Talhanglage;Talrandlage;Tallage; |
| Erhaltungszustand | Condition | Current condition. |
if necessary also Castle site (Burgstall). |
| Ständische Stellung | Occupants | In cases of major importance for the history of the castle the reigning title of the occupant is given. |
|
| Mauerwerksmerkmale | Type of construction | In the sense of wall construction | Stone construction:
Wood construction:
|
| Heutiger Ortsname | Present location name | Name of the nearest present-day settlement. Does not have to agree with the castle name. | |
| Flächenkoordinaten | Area dimensions | Area coordinates based on the Wikipedia scheme (deprecated). By the conversion toTemplate:Coord,area coordinates are replaced byBreitengrad,Längengrad andRegion-ISO. | |
| Breitengrad undLängengrad | Latitude andlongitude | TheWGS84 coordinates for the castle. See alsoTemplate:Coord. | |
| Unauffindbar | Not locatable | Allocating this parameter as desierd underlines the coordinate display and hence the request for castles that are not locatable. It should only be used, if no geo-reference is possible with current information. | |
| Region-ISO | ISO region | TheISO-3166-1 code orISO-3166-2 code for the castle. For castles that lie on the border of two regions, the value can consist of several ISO Codes, these are then separated by a "/". e. g.AT-7/DE-BY for a castle on the Tyrolean-Bavarian border in Germany. See alsoTemplate:Coord#region:R.The position map is derived from the first mentioned of multiple-ISO codes. So the order of ISO codes is relevant for that. | |
| Poskarte | Position map | The name of an alternative position map. If the fieldsBreitengrad andLängengrad are filled in, the standard position map based onRegion-ISO can be overwritten. With the special valuenone the display of a position map can be suppressed. | |
| Höhenordinate | Height | Heights are given as a number without the thousand separator, i.e.4321. The formatting with thousand separators, i.e.4,321 is done by the template. Values with figures after the decimal placemust be given with a decimal point, i.e.1234.5 in order to display1,234.5. | |
| Höhe-Bezug | Height reference | Entry of theheight reference system on which the height is based
If the height reference system is not known, do not enter a parameter! Then it will automatically display "m" (for metres). The values "m" and "metres" are counter-productive and should be left out. |
In this example all parameters (apart from"Unauffindbar") are filled in so that a full picture of the infobox can be seen.
