Template:Infobox demographic cohort/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Usage

[edit]

The {{Infobox demographic cohort}} template is used to provide standardized infoboxes for generational cohorts that fall between two widely defined generations—often referred to as "micro-generations." This includes groups such as Xennials, Zillennials, and "Geriatric Millennials."

This infobox is designed to:

  • Visually distinguish micro-generations with a slightly modified color scheme
  • Support collages using {{multiple image}}
  • Clearly indicate generational boundaries (e.g. "between Millennials and Gen Z")
  • Present traits, technology, and cultural associations
