  • Paste the text into the top of the clan article
  • fill in the information (after the equal sign) using the following guidelines :
  • general guideline: the infobox is for quick easy to read solid information, not a place for explaining, detailing or even translating this information. Those details are best left to the article. For instance, avoid translating Latin or Gaelic names, mottos etc. If a translation is needed, please place in the main clan article. Some entries may in exceptional circumstances require an explanation, this is best done using the note link. However, the infobox is a place for references (and challenging unreferenced material). Unreferenced information may be removed.

Parameters

label name guideline helpful links and sources
clan name enter the clans name as on the clan page.
image badge this is the place for the link to the clan's crest badge, use just the text of the file name and type, e.g. "Clan member crest badge - Clan Campbell.svg". Warning: do not use the "File:" label that is usually attached before the file name. If no crest badge image can be found, leave entry blank.

chiefs motto enter the official description of the chief's motto, if one exists The archive of myclan.com
chiefs slogan enter the official description of the chief's slogan, if one exists

Highland- enter: [[Scottish Highland|Highland]]
Lowland - enter: [[Scottish Lowlands|Lowlands]]
Borders - enter: [[Border country|Borders]]
Islands - enter: [[List of islands of Scotland|Highland and Islands]]

district enter the Scottish location the clan is historically associated with, if it is known. Try and use the old Scottish county location names found at Counties of Scotland. This should be a general area and not a specific point (i.e. not a village, town or barony - but a county or shire)
origins enter the origins of the clan (e.g. Norman, Pictish, Viking, Saxon), note: if the clan has several versions of their origins, write "uncertain". leave blank if no origins are known

plant badge enter the clan's official plant badge, if one exists. The Scottish clans and their tartans, page 9-10
