Forum:How to get rid of unnecessary headers in infoboxes

Perhaps a link would eliminate my need to elaborate:

Simply put, how do I get rid of the 2 banners above 'Scientific Classification' when there is nothing in them? Thesaurus Rex 11:27, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Basically add an IF statement to the header line to check if and data items(x, y or z) exists for the items under that heading and if so display the header else do nothing;




 * See wikipedia:Help:Parser functions and wikipedia:template:Infobox/doc for more info and examples. - BulldozerD11 12:42, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I can't get the 'Distribution' header to be optional. Whenever I do, its contents are shown, but the header is not. Thesaurus Rex 02:05, September 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think its working OK now, I've added it Just to the Distribution 'Header' line to try it. - BulldozerD11 19:47, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahh...okay, I get it. Thanks. Now, is there a way to make certain contents in bold (such as binomial name) ? Thesaurus Rex 00:25, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * To get every instance Bold add ir within the template (as i've done) but if you only whant some to be bold just add bold to the entry in the infobox input list on the article page. i.e. biname=thename (the 6 ' surounding the text tell it to bold the characters enclosed within) - - BulldozerD11 14:12, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, that sounds okay, but I can't get the trinomial name and subspecies to be bold, because then they just show up as an apostrophe on articles that do not include those parameters. Thesaurus Rex 21:48, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Species and binomial name do the same thing here. Thesaurus Rex 22:03, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks like it has to be used in an #If for each row. But as they then 'disapear' from the one (infobox) on the template page (as have no value), I've added a outline for a doc page so you can create a full infobox 'list' of inputs to copy to use on article pages and some examples or new users will not know what to put on article pages. - BulldozerD11 23:32, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
