Infoboxes for the [[chemical element]]s use the meta template {{tlt|Infobox element}}.
__TOC__

==Parameters==
; In general
Usually parameters reproduce the value, and the template adds the SI unit or additional standard text. While the topic is technical, we can strive to make the result readable text, and even verbose. For example, this is why the template writes "(at&nbsp;0&nbsp;&deg;C)". For this, you may want to experiment with parameter input too - or propose improvements.

All this can vary across the values (data rows). So depending on the row and the specific value, additional formattings may be added by the template (e.g., a newline <code>&lt;br/></code>)
;Central data values
Some data, like [[standard atomic weight]], are read from a central list. This way, enwiki has the same values everywhere. See {{section link|#Chemical element data sets}} for more.
;Parameter naming patterns:
Most parameters have a <code>...&nbsp;ref</code> that allows for references. This reference is added right after the unit.
;<code>ionization energy ref</code>

Parameters with a <code>..&nbsp;comment</code> suffix are added to the end of a data line, with a space added. Comments are reproduced without formatting additions (no brackets, no italics, ...):
;<code>ionization energy comment</code>

Numbered values make a list:
;<code>ionization energy</code>
;<code>ionization energy 2</code>
;<code>ionization energy 3</code>

==Chemical element data sets==
Infobox element reads data from these lists (i.e., not by local parameter)
{{Infobox element/symbol-to--overview1|state=collapsed}}

==Main isotopes box==
{{As of |7 Jan 2023}}, the "Main isotopes of &lt;element&gt;" tabular list will be read directly from the ''Isobox'': "Infobox &lt;element&gt; isotopes". For example, {{tl|Infobox uranium}} will read the table live from {{tl|Infobox uranium isotopes}}.

The headerbar provides {{smallcaps|View-Edit}} links to that Isobox.
::<div style="background:{{element color|f-block}}; color:black; padding:0.1em 1em 0.1em 1em; font-weight: bold; max-width: 18em;">Main [[isotopes of uranium]] <span style="float:right; padding-right: 0.2em;">{{v|Template:infobox uranium isotopes|e}}</span></div><!-- (2023 IB name change, projected) -->

Reused Main Isotopes table listed in {{clc|Infobox element isotopes templates}}.

==Theoretical elements handling (E119) {{anchor|Theoretical elements handling}} ==
{{As of|1 Jan 2023}}, elements E119 and higher are not discovered. These are called ''theoretical elements''. They can have article and other content pages though. Incidentally, this concerns period 8 completely. For the Infobox &lt;element>, their redirected pages do not count (are treated as: "''R'' page does not exist").

Possible situations regarding articles & discovery, are:
* "'''E118'''": {{mono|E1&ndash;[[Oganesson|E118]]}}, discovered, existing full set, mentioned here for easy reference
* "'''E119'''": {{mono|[[Ununennium|E119]], E120}}
* "'''E121'''": {{mono|[[Unbiunium|E121]], E122, E124, E126}}
* "'''E127''', '''E185'''": {{mono|E123, E125, E127 ...}}  ''{{no redirect|Unbitrium}} Redirect'': no article, no other content pages.

Creation of pages is governed by [[MOS:NONEWELEMENTS]]. ''This infobox'' must distinguish between three typical (exemplary) elements: E118 (regular element), E119 and E121. 

Handling of these element infoboxes is hardcoded in the meta-infobox, set by {{para|number}} (''Z'').

* '''Theoretical element''': above-header shows
:::<span style="background:#e6e6e6; color:black; padding:0 1em 0 1em;">'''''Theoretical element'''''</span>
:Applied: when element is theoretical (E119 and higher).
* '''No article "Isotopes of &lt;element>"''': Header does not link
:::E119: <span style="background:{{element color|s-block}}; color:black; padding:0.1em 1em 0.1em 1em; font-weight: bold;">Main [[isotopes of ununennium]]</span>
:::E121: <span style="background:{{element color|g-block}}; color:black; padding:0.1em 1em 0.1em 1em; font-weight: bold;">Main isotopes of unbiunium</span>
:Applied: E119, E120 do link, E121 and higher do not link.

* '''No isotopes known, Isobox does not exist''': local input, per Infobox. For example:
:::Transclusion of the isobox is suppressed (no redlink),
:::E119: {{para|theoretical isotopes comment|''Experiments and theoretical calculations''}}
:Applied: E119 and up: have no Isobox, so no isotopes lists is shown&mdash;at all. ''Instead'', the parametertext is shown as present. 
{{Infobox element/period-8-elements/overview|state=mw-collapsed}}

==Subtemplates==

These subtemplates are used automatically; they do not need specific editor's input.
* {{tl|Infobox element/pronunciation}} ([[Template:Infobox element/symbol-to-pronunciation|data]])
* {{tl|Infobox element/standard atomic weight format}}
* {{tl|Infobox element/block format}}
*  {{tl|Infobox element/periodic table}} (extends period 8 when atomic number ≥ 119. See {{tl|Infobox ununennium}}).
::Bare [[Template:Periodic table (32 columns, micro)|Periodic table, micro]]
* {{tl|Infobox element/spectral lines}}
* {{tl|Infobox element/vapor pressure table}}
* {{tl|Infobox element/crystal structure}}

==English variant spellings (ENGVAR)==
All element articles and their infoboxes use IUPAC spelling of elements and compounds. Notably, that is {{xt|1=aluminium, sulfur, caesium}}, not {{!xt|aluminum, sulphur, cesium}}. For other [[WP:ENGVAR|English variant words]] (vapor vs. vapour) the infobox reads {{para|engvar}}. The parameter should be set ''in the article'', and has options: en-US (or blank; default), en-GB, en-OED.
{| class=wikitable
|-
! parameter
! en-US<br>(default)
! en-GB
! en-OED
|-
| color || color || coloUr || coloUr
|-
| heat vaporization || vaporiZation || vaporiSation || vaporiZation
|-
| vapor pressure || vapor || vapoUr || vapoUr
|-
| ionization energy || ioniZation || ioniSation || ioniZation
|-

|-
| [[Template:Infobox element/symbol-to-oxidation-state/comment|... oxidation-state/comment]] || parenthesized || brackets || brackets
|}
Note, what is shown in the infobox is ''not'' influenced by the parameter name spelling, nor its input value.
