This page presents several chemical infoboxes to present chemical compound property data in a standardized form. They are to be used on all chemical articles, and as such are actively being used in the Chemicals WikiProject.

These tables are constructed by experts in the field of chemical sciences, as well as amateurs and possibly less knowledgeable passers-by. Although these tables are well designed, and useful to present the relevant chemical data, their accuracy cannot be guaranteed. This includes the safety information, which is provided for reference value only. When handling chemicals, always take the proper precautions as defined by a reliable source of information.

The following four infoboxes are developed and used in the Chemistry WikiProject. Please use them where appropriate. See the Worklist of the Chemicals WikiProject for wikipages with practical examples.

The {{Chembox}} infobox is usable for all chemical compounds and substances, e.g., hydrochloric acid. This infobox is the recommended infobox to use where detailed information is appropriate, for example with very common compounds, and for high quality chemicals wikipages. This template is recommended by the WikiProject Chemicals for all its wikipages.

Note: Effort is currently very active to further improve this infobox significantly. See and participate in the on-going discussion on Talk page, and the draft new version at User_talk:Walkerma#Draft_version_of_Chembox_table.

Currently three simple infoboxes are available to be used in starting wikipages, and chem-stub pages. They can be replaced later by the full infobox above. Effort is on-going to reduce this number to two simple infoboxes for easy inclusion in starting wikipages.

These templates are for creating new infoboxes in wikipages which have no (current) infobox yet. The following steps indicate how to do this.

• Edit the chemicals article to add the infobox to
• Type the text {{subst:chembox}} on the top line
• Save the page. Now the template text is substituted by the actual infobox code
• Edit the article again, and now the infobox is available for editing

If there was an infobox with outdated format already on the wikipage, you can move all relevant data to the new table and delete the old one.

See What links here in the toolbox on this wikipage, and the Chemicals WikiProject worklist to find wikipages as examples of use.
