[edit] particle box

I started on a particle infobox as well here: User:Ravedave/ElmParticletest and you can see a sample here: User:Ravedave/ElmParticleInfoBox before I found this page. I think some of the features should be mixed. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 21:37, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parameters

I'd like to see these added (more like the box at Electron):

  • Type - Elementary / Composite (opt)
  • Image (opt)
  • Image caption (opt)
  • Interaction as a seperate list not in the classification (opt)
  • Generation as seperate paramter
  • Decay time (opt)
  • Discovered? Described? Thoerized? date (opt)
  • Discoverer( opt)

I'd also like to see the infobox be a little more layman freindly. Is there a link for generation? Can the fact that the particle is from the decay of the listed particles be addressed? What do you think? -Ravedave (help name my baby) 21:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

These are now in place. In the order they appear in your bullet list, the parameters are composition, image, caption, interaction, generation, decay_time, discovered and theorized (the latter two are intended for both the person and the date). I've wikilinked generation, as well as any others that I could find. I'm not sure what you mean by your second question - could you elaborate? If there's any other parameters that you (or anyone reading this) think should be added, please shout out. Mike Peel 08:51, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Nice!! I updated the photon page. Much better. The links on the titles help immensly. Never mind my second question. I shotened Fundamental interaction to just interaction so it fits the box better. I am going to update the existing boxes a bit and maybe try my hand at electron I can't think of any additional fields quite yet. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 23:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Composite particles

I added the Infobox to Meson, I am not sure about the family and group though. I would like to try and get the infobox up to snuff for composite particles on meson then add it to other pages. Also there needs to be a wikilink for "Composite" but currently Composite particle redirects to Bound state which doesn't really describe it. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 17:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
