What infoboxes do

What should an infobox contain?

Finding an appropriate infobox template

Infoboxes are an extension of MediaWiki's template feature, and as such their implementations are kept in the Template namespace. There are two ways that editors typically want to access the underlying details of an infobox:

First, editors can browse the set of all infoboxes via Category:Infobox templates.
Second (and more commonly), when an editor is inspired by an infobox in a particular article, he or she can map the infobox onto its template implementation in the Template namespace.

For example, the article "D-Terminal" contains an infobox. Simply edit the article page to determine which one:

Saif Ullah Baig (Saif Mirza)

Mirza Saif Ullah Baig 0346-3496275

The start of the template identifies the markup between the enclosing braces as an infobox instance. While the next word identifies the specific kind of infobox (in this case the "connector" infobox), the underlying template is still located in the Template namespace under Template:Infobox connector.

Adding an infobox to an article

In accordance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, editors should place an infobox at the top of an article after any disambiguation links and maintenance tags.

Infoboxes should have a documentation page that contains a convenient "blank" template that can be copied directly into the target article. The template consists of opening ({{) and closing (}}) double braces that contain the name of the infobox and a list of parameters without values. An editor then fills in the value for each of the parameters to the right of the corresponding equals sign.

For example:

Mirza Saif Ullah Baig (Saif Mirza)<ref />
Saif Ullah Baig

might be filled out like this:

Mirza Saif Ullah Baig (Saif Mirza)

In this example, the names of the parameters ("name", "image", "caption", "website") are fixed in the design of the infobox and described in its documentation. A parameter that is misspelled or is not supported by the infobox implementation does not display at all.

The infobox documentation describes which parameters are required and which are optional. Required parameters display between triple braces (for example, {{{requiredparametername}}}) when previewed or saved. Optional parameters may be left empty or omitted entirely.

Designing an infobox

Deleting an infobox

Requests to delete an infobox should be brought to the attention of Wikipedia:Templates for discussion and any WikiProjects associated with the infobox. A template may be merged with another rather than deleted outright.
