=== Usage ===Usage This template is similar to {{tl|navbox}}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 with can be used on a one-off basis if required. [[Help:Infobox]] contains an additional distinction. Each row on introduction about the table can contain either a header, or a labelrecommended content and design of infoboxes; [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/data pair, or just a data cellInfoboxes]] contains additional style guidelines. These are mutually exclusive states so if you define a row with both a header See [[WP:List of infoboxes]] and a label/data pair, the label/data pair is ignored[[:Category:Infobox templates]] for lists of prepared topic-specific infoboxes.
To insert == Usage =={{tlf|Infobox}} is a meta-template: used to organise an image somewhere other than at the top of the infobox, or to insert freeform data, use a row with only a data fieldactual <nowiki>{{Infobox sometopic}}</nowiki> template (like {{tl|Infobox building}}).
==== Number ranges ====To allow flexibility when the layout of an infobox is changedFor <code><nowiki>[[Template:Infobox sometopic]]</nowiki></code>, it may be helpful when developing an infobox to use non-contiguous numbers for header and label/data rows. Parameters for new rows can template code then be inserted in future without having to renumber existing parameters. For examplelooks like this, simplified:<pre>{{Infobox|header3 name = Section 1{{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}|label5 image = Label A{{{image|}}}|data5 caption1 = Data A{{{caption|}}}}}} |label7 label1 = Label CFormer names|data7 data1 = Data C{{{former_names|}}} |header10 header2 = Section 2General information |label12 label3 = Label DStatus|data12 data3 = Data D{{{status|}}}... <!-- etc. -->}}</pre> == Optional control parameters ==; name : If this parameter is present, "view/discuss/edit" links will be added to the bottom of the infobox, pointing to the named page. You may use the value <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>; however this is rarely what you want, because it will send users clicking these links in an infobox in an article to the template code rather than the data in the infobox that they probably want to change.; child : See the [[#Embedding|Embedding]] section for details. If this is set to "yes", this child infobox should be titled but have no name parameter. This parameter is empty by default, set it to "yes" to activate it.; subbox : See the [[#Subboxes|Subboxes]] section for details. If this is set to "yes", this subbox should be titled but have no name parameter. This parameter is empty by default, set to "yes" to activate it. It has no effect if the '''child''' parameter is also set to "yes".; decat : If this is set to "yes", the current page will not be autocategorized in a maintenance category when the generated infobox has some problems or no visible data section. Leave empty by default or set to "yes" to activate it.
It is also possible to automatically renumber parameter names by using [[Module:IncrementParams]].== Content parameters ==
Note that although there is no limitation === Title ===There are two different ways to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border in the number uppermost cell of rows availablethe table, row parameters should not be numbered more than 50 apartthe other puts as a caption it on top of the table. See You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the [[#Limitations]] section below for more details.other, or even neither (though this is not recommended):
=== Parameters ===; 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.
====View/discuss/edit links====;nameExamples:If this parameter is present, "view/discuss/edit" links will be added to the bottom of the infobox, pointing to the named template. You can use <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>.

=== 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.
There are two different ways === Main data ===; header(n) : Text to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border, the other puts it on top use as a captionheader in row n. You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the other, or even neither ; label(though this is not recommendedn).;title : Text to put use as a label in the caption over top of the tablerow n.;above data(n) : Text to put within the uppermost cell of the tabledisplay as data in row n.
====Optional content====;subheaderNote: for any given value for (n) : additional title fields which fit below , not all combinations of parameters are permitted. The presence of a {{para|header''(n)''}} will cause the corresponding {{title}para|data''(n)''}} (and {{{abovepara|rowclass''(n)''}}}. Subheader parameters should not be spaced more than 10 apart.;image{{para|label''(n) : images ''}}, see below) 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.

Note: for any given value for (n), not all combinations of parameters are permitted. The presence of a * {{para|headerclass''(n)''}} will cause the corresponding {{para|data''(n)''}}{{para|label''(n)''}} (and {{para|rowclassheader''(n)''}}, see below) to be ignored; the absence of a {{para|data''(n)''}} will cause the corresponding {{para|label''(n)''}} to be ignored.

See the rendering of header4, label4, and data4 in the [[#Examples|Examples]] section below. ====Optional CSS stylingNumber ranges ====;bodystyle : Applies to To allow flexibility when the layout of an infobox is changed, it may be helpful when developing an infobox table as a wholeto use non-contiguous numbers for header and label/data rows. Parameters for new rows can then be inserted in future without having to renumber existing parameters. For example: ;titlestyle <pre style="overflow: Applies only auto"> | header3 = Section 1 | label5 = Label A | data5 = Data A | label7 = Label C | data7 = Data C | header10 = Section 2 | label12 = Label D | data12 = Data D</pre>{{clear}} It is also possible to the title captionautomatically renumber parameter names by using [[User:Frietjes/infoboxgap.js]] or [[Module:IncrementParams]]. Adding  ==== Making data fields optional ====A row with a background color label but no data is usually inadvisable since the text is rendered "outside" not displayed. This allows for the easy creation of optional infoboxcontent rows.To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults to an empty string, like so:;abovestyle <pre style="overflow: Applies only to auto"> | label5 = Population | data5 = {{{population|}}}</pre>{{clear}} This way if an article doesn't define the "above" cell at population parameter in its infobox the toprow won't be displayed. The default style has font For more complex fields with pre-size:125%; since this cell is usually used for a titleformatted contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't set, if you want to use the above cell for regular-sized text include can wrap it all in an "font-size:100%;#if" in the abovestyle.;imagestyle : Applies statement to make the cell whole thing vanish when the image parameter is innot used. This includes the text of the image captionFor instance, but you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is moved out of this cell "#if" statement in the future.;captionstyle following example reads "#if: Applies to the text of the image caption.parameter ''mass'' has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'": ;headerstyle <pre style="overflow: Applies to all header cellsauto">;labelstyle : Applies to all label cells | label6 = Mass;datastyle | data6 = {{ #if: Applies to all data cells{{{mass|}}} | {{{mass}}} kg }};belowstyle : Applies only to the below cell</pre>{{clear}}
==== HTML classes ====;bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox as a whole.;titleclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's title caption.;aboveclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's "above" cell.; aboverowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the "above" cell is For more on.; subheaderclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's subheader.; subheaderrowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the subheader is on.;imageclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the image.; imagerowclass(n) : These parameters are inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the respective images are on.;rowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the specified row '''including''' the label or other explanatory text.;class(n) #if, see [[meta: This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the data cell of the specified row. If there's no data cell it has no effect.;belowclass ParserFunctions##if: This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's below cell|here]].
==== Microformats Hiding headers when all data fields are hidden ====You can also make headers optional in a similar way. Consider this example:{{Infobox | title = Example of an undesirable header | header1 = Undesirable header | label2 = Item 1 | data2 = | label3 = Item 2 | data3 = | label4 = Item 3 | data4 = | header5 = Static header | label6 = Static item | data6 = Static value}}<pre style="overflow:auto">{{Infobox | title = Example of an undesirable header | header1 = Undesirable header | label2 = Item 1 | data2 = | label3 = Item 2 | data3 = | label4 = Item 3 | data4 = | header5 = Static header | label6 = Static item | data6 = Static value}}</pre>{{clear}}
This template supports If you want the addition first header to appear only if one or more of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various the data cellsfields that fall under it are filled, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag one could use the following pattern as an infobox as containing [[hCard]] information, for example, add the following parameterof how to do it:
{{Infobox | title = Example of an optional header | header1 = {{ #if: {{{item1|}}}{{{item2|}}}{{{item3|}}} | Optional header }} | label2 = Item 1 | data2 = {{{item1|}}} | label3 = Item 2 | data3 = {{{item2|}}} | label4 = Item 3 | data4 = {{{item3|}}} | header5 = Static header | label6 = Static item | data6 = Static value}}<presource lang="moin" style="overflow:auto">{{Infobox | title = Example of an optional header |bodyclass header1 = vcard{{ #if: {{{item1|}}}{{{item2|}}}{{{item3|}}} | Optional header }} | label2 = Item 1 | data2 = {{{item1|}}} | label3 = Item 2 | data3 = {{{item2|}}} | label4 = Item 3 | data4 = {{{item3|}}} | header5 = Static header | label6 = Static item | data6 = Static value}}</presource>{{clear}}
And for each header1 will be shown if any of item1, item2, or item3 is defined. If none of the three parameters are defined the header won't be shown and no empty row containing a data cell appears before the next static content. The trick to this is that's part the <code>#if</code> returns false only if there is nothing whatsoever in the conditional section, so only if all three of item1, item2 and item3 are undefined will the vcard, add a corresponding class parameter:if statement fail.
<pre>Note that such trick may be sometimes very complex to test if there are many data items whose value depends on complex tests (or when a data row is generated by a recursive invokation of this template as a [[#Subboxes|class1 = fnsubbox]]). Ideally, the Lua module supporting this template should now support a new way to make each header row autohideable by detecting if there is at least one non-empty data row after that header row (a parameter like {{para|class2 = orgautohide header1 |class3 = telyes}}, for example, would remove the need to perform the <code>#if</precode>test so that we can just to define {{para|header1 | Optional header}}),
=== Footer ===; below : Text to put in the bottom cell...and so forth. "above" and "title" can The bottom cell is intended for footnotes, see-also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name of the subject of the infoboxand other such information.
See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, and [[microformat]] for more information on microformats in general.== Presentation parameters ==
====Italic titles====
Titles of articles with infoboxes may be made italic, in line with [[WP:ITALICTITLE]], by passing the <code>italic title</code> parameter.
*Turn on italic titles by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|}}}</nowiki>}} from the infobox.
*Turn off by default but allow some instances to be made italic by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|no}}}</nowiki>}}
*Do not make any titles italic by not passing the parameter at all.
* Turn on italic titles by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|}}}</nowiki>}} from the infobox.* Turn off by default (notably because only Latin script may be safely rendered in this style and italic may be needed to distinguish foreign language from local English language only in that script, but would be difficult to read for other scripts) but allow some instances to be made italic by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|no}}}</nowiki>}}* Do not make any titles italic by not passing the parameter at all. ===Making fields optionalCSS styling ===A row with ; bodystyle : Applies to the infobox table as a whole; titlestyle : Applies only to the title caption. Adding a background color is usually inadvisable since the text is rendered "outside" the infobox.; abovestyle : Applies only to the "above" cell at the top. The default style has font-size:125%; since this cell is usually used for a label title, if you want to use the above cell for regular-sized text include "font-size:100%;" in the abovestyle.; imagestyle : Applies to the cell the image is in. This includes the text of the image caption, but no data you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is not displayedmoved out of this cell in the future.; captionstyle : Applies to the text of the image caption. ; rowstyle(n) : This allows parameter is inserted into the <code>style</code> attribute for the easy creation of optional infobox content rowsspecified row. To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults ; headerstyle : Applies to all header cells; labelstyle : Applies to all label cells; datastyle : Applies to an empty string, like soall data cells; belowstyle :Applies only to the below cell
=== HTML classes and microformats ===; bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox as a whole.; titleclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''title''' caption.<!-- currently not implemented in Lua module; aboverowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''above''' cell is on.-->; aboveclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''above''' cell.; subheaderrowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''subheader''' is on.; subheaderclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''subheader'''.; imagerowclass(n) : These parameters are inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row their respective '''image''' is on.; imageclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the '''image'''.; rowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the specified row including the '''label''' and '''data''' cells.; class(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <precode>class</code> attribute for the '''data''' cell of the specified row. If there's no '''data''' cell it has no effect.<!-- currently not implemented in Lua module|label5 = Population; belowrowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''below''' cell is on.|data5 = {{{population|}}}-->; belowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</precode>attribute for the infobox's '''below''' cell.
This way if an article doesn't define template supports the population parameter addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. Multiple class names may be specified, separated by spaces, some of them being used as selectors for custom styling according to a project policy or to the skin selected in its infobox the row won't be displayeduser preferences, others beig used for microformats.
For more complex fields with pre-formatted contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't setTo flag an infobox as containing [[hCard]] information, you can wrap it all in an "#if" statement to make the whole thing vanish when the parameter is not used. For instancefor example, the "#if" statement in add the following example reads "#if:the parameter ''mass'' has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'":
<prestyle="overflow:auto"> |label6 bodyclass = Massvcard|data6 = {{#if:{{{mass|}}}|{</pre>{{massclear}}} kg}}</pre>
For more on #ifAnd for each row containing a data cell that's part of the vcard, see [[metaadd a corresponding class parameter:ParserFunctions##if:|here]].
You can also make headers optional in a similar way. If you want a header to appear only if one or more of the data fields that fall under it are filled, one could use the following pattern as an example of how to do it<pre style="overflow:auto"> | class1 = fn | class2 = org | class3 = tel</pre>{{clear}}
<pre style=...and so forth. "overflow:auto;above">{{Infobox|and "title" can also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}|title = Example of an optional header|header1 = {{#if:{{{item_one|}}}{{{item_two|}}}{{{item_three|}}}|Optional header}}|label2 = Item one|data2 = {{{item_one|}}}|label3 = Item two|data3 = {{{item_two|}}}|label4 = Item three|data4 = {{{item_three|}}}}}</pre>the subject of the infobox.
header1 will be shown if any of item_oneSee [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, item_two, or item_three is defined. If none of the three parameters are defined the header won't be shownand [[microformat]] for more information on microformats in general.
The trick to this is that == Examples ==Notice how the "if" returns false only if there is nothing whatsoever row doesn't appear in the conditional sectiondisplayed infobox when a '''label''' is defined without an accompanying '''data''' cell, so only if and how all three of item_one, item_two and item_three them are undefined will displayed when a '''header''' is defined on the if statement failsame row as a '''data''' cell.Also notice that '''subheaders''' are not bold by default like the '''headers''' used to split the main data section, because this role is meant to be for the '''above''' cell :

Note that omitting the {{para|title}} parameter, and not including any text preceding the embedded infobox, may result in spurious blank table rows, creating gaps in the visual presentation.
=[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed]] includes some links to Wikipedia articles which include infoboxes embedded within other infoboxes. ==Subboxes===An alternative method for embedding is to use {{para|subbox|yes}}, which removes the outer border from the infobox, but preserves the interior structure. One feature of this approach is that the parent and child boxes need not have the same structure, and the label and data fields are not aligned between the parent and child boxesbecause they are not in the same parent table

This restriction has been lifted now that the template has been ported to a [[WP:Lua|Lua module]], but to maintain backwards compatibility there is now a limit on the number of rows apart by which parameters will be detected. If parameters are numbered more than 50 apart, the later parameters may be ignored (depending on the exact numbers involved), and if parameters are numbered more than 100 apart, the later parameters will definitely be ignored. For example, this code will display properly:<pre>|header3 = Section 1|label48 = Label A|data48 = Data A|data92 = Data B|label136 = Label C|data136 = Data C|header177 = Section 2|label215 = Label D|data215 = Data D</pre>{{clear}} But in this code, only Section 1, Label A and Data A will be displayed{{Help:<pre>|header3 = Section 1|label48 = Label A|data48 = Data A|data102 = Data B|label103 = Label C|data103 = Data C|header115 = Section 2|label120 = Label D|data120 = Data D<Infobox/pre> Note that parameter values may be blank - parameters are counted unless they are completely absent from the template invocation. There are also similar limitations for image parameters and subheader parameters. In those cases parameters should not be numbered more than 10 apart.user style}}
=== Porting to other MediaWikis ===
The infobox template requires the [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] extension and [[mw:Manual:Using content from Wikipedia#HTMLTidy|HTMLTidy]] to be installed. It may not work with other MediaWikis. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Transwiki|WikiProject Transwiki]] has a version of this template that has been modified to work on other MediaWikis.
