As such, the name "Tropical cyclone categories" is unfitting. This module includes many subpages (some are submodules, others are documentation pages) which require the page mover r...). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page contains the tropical cyclone category data for Module:Tropical cyclone categories.

Each category is expected to contain the following information:

  • ID – the ID is derived from the key/index of the category in the cats table
    • This ID must be in lowercase and have no special symbols; the module will take care of data sanitization.
  • color – the hexadecimal code of the category's color, without
  • name – the name of the category
  • sortkey – the sortkey of the category
    • Give decent spacing in between keys for future categories.
  • icon (incomplete) – the icon of the category in wikitext
  • basin (to be done) – a table (list) of basins to which this category applies to
  • scale (to be done) – a wikilink (without brackets) leading to the scale of this category

Aliases are defined at the bottom of the module. They are in the following format:, where actual is the ID of the category: 

cats["alias"] = cats["actual"]
