You can award anyone who contributed greatly to the
severe weather-related articles by using this template here: {{subst:The Tornado Barnstar|1=Put your message here. ~~~~}} or {{subst:The Tornado Barnstar|1=Put your message here. ~~~~|2=alt}}
Note on units: All quantities should be expressed in both
imperial and
metric units, regardless of the affected area. The primary measurements used in this project are imperial units, although primary-metric can be used in events that only affect regions that use only the metric system (i.e.
Canada,
Mexico, most of
Europe). For example, to show winds of 50 mph, it should be listed as "50 mph (80 km/h)" in most circumstances. Rounding should be done to reasonable levels.
Note on galleries: It is not desirable to have an image gallery in a main article. However, linking to a gallery on
Wikimedia commons using {{
commons}} is very helpful. To upload a file to the Commons,
