no longer has a chief, and is an armigerous clan

</syntaxhighlight>

• 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 crest	enter the official description of the chief's crest, if one exists	The archive of myclan.com
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
war cry	enter the official chief's war cry, if one exists. Note the war cry is often the slogan, if the slogan and war cry are the same, it should only be listed as one or the other, but not both.	The Scottish clans and their tartans, page 11
region	enter the clans region, if known, otherwise leave blank. These regions should be limited to the following entries: 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
gaelic names	enter the official Gaelic name of the clan, if one exists. If several exist, list them, however do not conjugate the name (i.e. do not also list the name's Gaelic singular, collective, etc.)
image arms	this is the place for the link to the chief's heraldic arms, use just the text of the file name and type, e.g. Clancampbellcrest.jpg. 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
plant badge	enter the clan's official plant badge, if one exists.	The Scottish clans and their tartans, page 9-10
animal	enter the clan's official animal totem, if one exists. Note: this is quite rare and is not the animal that may be on the chief's crest.

Burkes Scottish Chiefs Index Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs
chiefs gaelic title	enter the chief's official Gaelic title, if one exists. This is not a translation of the chiefs name into Gaelic but a designation and tradition given from times past.
seat	enter the chief's official seat, if one exists. NOTE: this is the current seat of the current chief, not the historic seat (see below), nor the "seat of the clan", or a third party appointed seat.

historic seat	enter the clan's historic seat, i.e. the place commonly associated with the clan and where the chiefs of old resided.

	the following information is for clans without a current chief, if the clan has a chief, these should be left blank

If the last chief had a double surname (e.g. MacNamus of MacNamus), enter the double name. Note, the last chief's title can also be entered at the "chiefs title" entry, see above.
