Revision as of 02:38, 14 April 2011
In the Edit page of the elemental article, copy the Elem_Infobox template exactly as shown below and revise the example element name (elName) of Copper to the name of the element desired. Don't worry about entering anything else, if you don't know what to enter. Someone knowledgeable will eventually fill in other information or you can ask a Chemistry editor for help.
{{Elem_Infobox

The Infobox will be displayed on the right-hand side of the article's main page as shown just below, once you have copied the above template into the article's Edit page, revised the element name to the name desired (Gold, for example), and then saved the Edit page:

The Elem_Infobox template automatically obtained the information it contains from the Periodic table of elements article. Note that it also indicates where the element (Gold, for this example) is located within the Periodic Table by coloring the location black.
The following two-sentence paragraph is a suggested, optional first paragraph for the introductory part of the article (i.e., the lede):
Gold is a chemical element having the chemical symbol Au. Its atomic number (the number of protons) is 79 and its standard atomic weight is 196.96655. It is typically found as a solid in its elemental form.
All of the items colored green in the above optional lede should be changed as needed for the specific desired element. Also, look at the edit page of this article to see how to correctly create the blue wiki links in the suggested, optional lede.
