=== Title ===
There are two different ways to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border in the uppermost cell of the table, the other puts it as a caption on top of the table. You can use them both together, or just one or the other, or neither (though this is not recommended):
; title : Text to put in the caption over the top of the table (or as section header before the whole content of this table, if this is a child infobox). For [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Tables|accessibility reasons]], this is the most recommended alternative.
; above : Text to put within the uppermost cell of the table.
; subheader(n) : additional title fields which fit below {{{title}}} and {{{above}}}, but before images.
Examples:
{{Infobox
| name = Infobox/doc
| title      = Text in caption over infobox
| subheader  = Subheader of the infobox
| header = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title      = Text in caption over infobox
| subheader  = Subheader of the infobox
| header = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
</pre>{{clear}}
{{Infobox
| name = Infobox/doc
| above      = Text in uppermost cell of infobox
| subheader  = Subheader of the infobox
| subheader2 = Second subheader of the infobox
| header = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| above      = Text in uppermost cell of infobox
| subheader  = Subheader of the infobox
| subheader2 = Second subheader of the infobox
| header = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
</pre>{{clear}}
=== Illustration images ===
; image(n) : images to display at the top of the template. Use full image syntax, for example <nowiki>[[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]</nowiki>. Image is centered by default. See [[WP:ALT]] for more on alt text.
; caption(n) : Text to put underneath the images.


=== Main data ===
{{clear}}
; header(n) : Text to use as a header in row n.
; label(n) : Text to use as a label in row n.
; data(n) : Text to display as data in row n.


== Porting to other MediaWikis ==
The infobox template requires the [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Transwiki|WikiProject Transwiki]] has a version of this template that has been modified to work on other MediaWikis.

Template:Distinguish Template:Documentation subpage Template:Parameter names example

This template is intended as a meta template: a template used for constructing other templates. Note: In general, it is not meant for use directly in an article, but can be used on a one-off basis if required. Help:Infobox contains an introduction about the recommended content and design of infoboxes; Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes contains additional style guidelines. See WP:List of infoboxes and Category:Infobox templates for lists of prepared topic-specific infoboxes.

Usage[edit]

  1. REDIRECT Template:Template link with link off

Template:Redirect category shell is a meta-template: used to organise an actual {{Infobox sometopic}} template (like

For [[Template:Infobox sometopic]], template code then looks like this, simplified:
