Anatomical terminology

The template is invoked using double-brace syntax (with the result similar to that shown at the right), coded as follows:

{{Infobox Artery
| Name       = Pulmonary artery
| Latin      = truncus pulmonalis,
    arteria pulmonalis
| GraySubject= 141
| GrayPage   = 543
| Imagemap ={{Heart diagram 250px}}
| Caption  = Anterior (frontal)
    view of the opened heart. 
    (Pulmonary artery upper right.)
| Image2     = Alveoli diagram.png
| Caption2   = Diagram of the
    alveoli with both cross-section
    and external view.
| BranchFrom  = [[right ventricle]]
| BranchTo    =
| Vein        = [[pulmonary vein]]
| Precursor   = truncus arteriosus
| Supplies    =
| MeshName    = Pulmonary+Artery
| MeshNumber  = A07.231.114.715
| DorlandsPre = t_20
| DorlandsSuf = 12826098 
}}

Template implementation notes

edit

The template was implemented in November 2005 using the MediaWiki parser-functions language (which was updated in January 2008 to run with a recursive descent parser).

Changes should be made and verified in a test-version of the template copied into user-space (as a page named "User:XXX/Template:Infobox_Artery"). Changes can be checked by editing actual articles by edit-preview (not Save) with the template-brace calls prefixed by "{<font/>{User:XXX/Template:...}}" but never saved that way.

When modifying the template or documentation ("/doc" subpage), it is often necessary to purge the template cache (using "action=purge"), such as to display modified documentation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Artery&action=purge

Running old versions of the template can be very confusing and frustrating when trying to install and verify improvements copied from test-versions of the template (so remember "action=purge").
