The standard infobox for every srcfy record: documentation, reports, investigations and interactive pieces. It shows the key facts, stores them in Semantic MediaWiki through [[Template:Record data]], and feeds the public search on [https://srcfy.com srcfy.com]. Only records with <code>status=Published</code> appear in search.

Create a record with [[Special:FormStart/Record|the record form]]. See [[Help:Records]] for what each field means and the editorial rules behind them. Incident articles use [[Template:Incident infobox]], which stores the same record fields.
