Usage Notes

Formatting errors, evolving implementations for infobox templates, and the nature of user-generated content mean that there are many inconsistencies within infobox groupings. For example, the same date field may in some cases be populated by a full date string, in others a year, and in others a date-formatting template instance.

However, these are still in somewhat rough shape and may have conversion errors. Please report bugs at http://getsatisfaction.com/infochimps—and if you are interested in helping to improve these datasets contact the infochimps

Furthermore, parameters to wikipedia templates can be given positionally or by name. If there are many fields labelled ‘1:’, ‘2:’, etc you will have to refer to the original Template page on wikipedia to map these fields.

Disclaimer

From Wikipedia’s ‘Wikipedia:Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia’:

It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of this. We work hard to keep the ratio of the greatest to the worst as high as possible, of course, and to find helpful ways to tell you in what state an article currently is. Even at its best, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, with all the limitations that entails. It is not a primary source. We ask you not to criticize Wikipedia indiscriminately for its content model but to use it with an informed understanding of what it is and what it isn’t. Also, because some articles may contain errors, please do not use Wikipedia to make critical decisions.

Help improve these datasets

  • Mine template definitions (the actual implementation on Wikipedia) for better field descriptions and to cull spurious field values
  • Also, use the template definitions to convert positional-parameters to uniformly named-parameters
  • Many of these tables are “subclassed”—for example all of the infobox_olympics_[COUNTRY] templates. Help identify and unify these subclassed objects
  • Tag fields with semantic information
