Description[edit source]

This template is a sample infobox, to aid in the creation of new infoboxes.

Recommended usage: copy the template code to a new template page, and edit it there.

Infobox and template background[edit source]

See Help:Templates, Help:Infobox and Help:Tables for some background on how templates and infoboxes work.

Building blocks[edit source]

The infobox is made of the following basic building blocks:

  • Overall table class: class="wikia-infobox"
  • Table heading cell class: class="wikia-infobox-header"
  • Use row header marks ("!") for row title cells (and "|" for normal cells)
  • Section separator line: give the header below it a wrapping div with class="wikia-infobox-section-header"
  • Image cell class: class="wikia-infobox-image"
  • Image caption cell class: class="wikia-infobox-caption"

Other notes[edit source]

  • The Title, First, Second, and Third rows show "Unknown" if their values are not specified.
  • The Image, Imagecaption, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth rows won't show up if their values are not specified: they are each completely enclosed in an 'if' statement.

Syntax[edit source]
