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
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Infobox
is a meta-template: used to organise an actual {{Infobox sometopic}} template (like
Infobox building
).
For
[[Template:Infobox sometopic]]
, template code then looks like this, simplified:
{{Infobox
| name = {{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}
| image = {{{image|}}}
| caption1 = {{{caption|}}}}}}

| label1 = Former names
| data1 = {{{former_names|}}}

| header2 = General information

| label3 = Status
| data3 = {{{status|}}}
...
}}
Optional control parameters
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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 {{subst:PAGENAME}}; 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
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
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.
Content parameters
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Title
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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 as a caption it on top of the table. You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the other, or even 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
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:
Text in caption over infobox
Subheader of the infobox
{{Infobox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title = Text in caption over infobox
| subheader = Subheader of the infobox
| header = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
Text in uppermost cell of infobox
Subheader of the infobox
Second subheader of the infobox
{{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)
}}
Illustration images
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
image(n)
images to display at the top of the template. Use full image syntax, for example [[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]. Image is centered by default. See
WP:ALT
for more on alt text.
caption(n)
Text to put underneath the images.
Main data
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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.
Note: for any given value for (n), not all combinations of parameters are permitted. The presence of a
header
(n)
will cause the corresponding
data
(n)
(and
rowclass
(n)
label
(n)
, see below) to be ignored; the absence of a
data
(n)
will cause the corresponding
label
(n)
to be ignored. Valid combinations for any single row are:
class
(n)
header
(n)
rowclass
(n)
class
(n)
data
(n)
rowclass
(n)
label
(n)
class
(n)
data
(n)
See the rendering of header4, label4, and data4 in the
Examples
section below.
Number ranges
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
To allow flexibility when the layout of an infobox is changed, it may be helpful when developing an infobox to 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:
| header3 = Section 1
| label5 = Label A
| data5 = Data A
| label7 = Label C
| data7 = Data C
| header10 = Section 2
| label12 = Label D
| data12 = Data D
It is also possible to automatically renumber parameter names by using
User:Frietjes/infoboxgap.js
or
Module:IncrementParams
Making data fields optional
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
A row with a label but no data is not displayed. This allows for the easy creation of optional infobox content rows. To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults to an empty string, like so:
| label5 = Population
| data5 = {{{population|}}}
This way if an article doesn't define the population parameter in its infobox the row won't be displayed.
For more complex fields with pre-formatted contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't set, you can wrap it all in an "#if" statement to make the whole thing vanish when the parameter is not used. For instance, the "#if" statement in the following example reads "#if:the parameter
mass
has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'":
| label6 = Mass
| data6 = {{ #if: {{{mass|}}} | {{{mass}}} kg }}
For more on #if, see
here
Hiding headers when all data fields are hidden
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
You can also make headers optional in a similar way. Consider this example:
Example of an undesirable header
Undesirable header
Static header
Static item
Static value
{{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
}}
If you want the first 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:
Example of an optional header
Static header
Static item
Static value
{{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
}}
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 appears before the next static content. The trick to this is that the "#if" 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 if statement fail.
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
subbox
). 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 "autohide header1 = yes", for example, would remove the need to perform the "#if" test so that we can just to define "header1 = Optional header"),
Footer
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
below
Text to put in the bottom cell. The bottom cell is intended for footnotes, see-also, and other such information.
Presentation parameters
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Italic titles
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Titles of articles with infoboxes may be made italic, in line with
WP:ITALICTITLE
, by passing the
italic title
parameter.
Turn on italic titles by passing
italic title
{{{italic title|}}}
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
italic title
{{{italic title|no}}}
Do not make any titles italic by not passing the parameter at all.
CSS styling
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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 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 you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is moved out of this cell in the future.
captionstyle
Applies to the text of the image caption.
rowstyle(n)
This parameter is inserted into the
style
attribute for the specified row.
headerstyle
Applies to all header cells
labelstyle
Applies to all label cells
datastyle
Applies to all data cells
belowstyle
Applies only to the below cell
HTML classes and microformats
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
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.
subheaderrowclass(n)
This parameter is inserted into the
class
attribute for the complete table row the
subheader
is on.
subheaderclass(n)
This parameter is inserted into the
class
attribute for the infobox's
subheader
imagerowclass(n)
These parameters are inserted into the
class
attribute for the complete table row their respective
image
is on.
imageclass
This parameter is inserted into the
class
attribute for the
image
rowclass(n)
This parameter is inserted into the
class
attribute for the specified row including the
label
and
data
cells.
class(n)
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
This parameter is inserted into the
class
attribute for the infobox's
below
cell.
This template supports the 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 user preferences, others beig used for microformats.
To flag an infobox as containing
hCard
information, for example, add the following parameter:
| bodyclass = vcard
And for each row containing a data cell that's part of the vcard, add a corresponding class parameter:
| class1 = fn
| class2 = org
| class3 = tel
...and so forth. "above" and "title" can also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name of the subject of the infobox.
See
Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats
for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, and
microformat
for more information on microformats in general.
Examples
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Notice how the row doesn't appear in the displayed infobox when a
label
is defined without an accompanying
data
cell, and how all of them are displayed when a
header
is defined on the same 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
Test Infobox
Above text
Subheader above image
Second subheader
Caption displayed below File:Example-serious.jpg
Header defined alone
Data defined alone
All three defined (header, label, data, all with same number)

|name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
|bodystyle =

|headerstyle = background:#ccf;
|labelstyle = background:#ddf;
|datastyle =

|belowstyle = background:#ddf;
|below = Below text
}}
For this example, the
bodystyle
and
labelstyle
parameters are used to adjust the infobox width and define a default width for the column of labels:
Test Infobox

Embedding
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
One infobox template can be embedded into another using the
child
parameter or the
embed
parameter. This feature can be used to create a modular infobox, or to create better-defined logical sections. Long ago, it was necessary to use embedding in order to create infoboxes with more than 99 rows; but nowadays there's no limit to the number of rows that can be defined in a single instance of
{{infobox}}
Top level title
First subsection
Label 1.1
Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1
Data 2.1
Below text
{{Infobox
| title = Top level title
| data1 = {{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
| title = First subsection
| label1= Label 1.1
| data1 = Data 1.1
}}
| data2 = {{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
|title = Second subsection
| label1= Label 2.1
| data1 = Data 2.1
}}
| belowstyle =
| below = Below text
}}
Note, in the examples above, the child infobox is placed in a
data
field, not a
header
field. Notice that the section subheadings are not in bold font if bolding is not explicitly specified. To obtain bold section headings, place the child infobox in a
header
field (but not in a
label
field because it would not be displayed!), either using
Top level title
First subsection
Label 1.1
Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1
Data 2.1
Below text
{{Infobox
| title = Top level title
| header1 = {{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
| title = First subsection
| label1= Label 1.1
| data1 = Data 1.1
}}
| header2 = {{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
| title = Second subsection
| label1= Label 2.1
| data1 = Data 2.1
}}
| belowstyle =
| below = Below text
}}
or,
Top level title
First subsection
Label 1.1
Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1
Data 2.1
Below text
{{Infobox
| title = Top level title
| header1 = First subsection
{{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
| label1 = Label 1.1
| data1 = Data 1.1
}}
| header2 = Second subsection
{{Infobox | decat = yes | child = yes
| label1 = Label 2.1
| data1 = Data 2.1
}}
| belowstyle =
| below = Below text
}}
Note that omitting the
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
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
An alternative method for embedding is to use
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 boxes because they are not in the same parent table.
Main 1
Main 2
Sub 3-1
Sub 3-2
Label 3-3
Data 3-3
Label 4-1
Data 4-1
Label 5
Data 5
Main 6
{{

headerstyle
background-color
#eee
labelstyle
background-color
#eee
header1

header2

{{

Label

Data

}}
label5

Data

}}
Similar embedding techniques may be used within content parameters of some other templates generating tables (such as
Sidebar
Heading 1
Heading 2
Sub 3-1
Sub 3-2
Label 3-3
Data 3-3
Label 4-1
Data 4-1
Heading 5
{{
Sidebar
navbar
off
headingstyle
background-color
#eee

content3
{{

}}
content4

Infobox
subbox

labelstyle
background-color
#ccc

Label

Data

}}
heading5

}}
Note that the default padding of the parent data cell containing each subbox is still visible, so the subboxes are slightly narrower than the parent box and there's a higher vertical spacing between standard cells of the parent box than between cells of distinct subboxes.
Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Template
{{
nbsp
}}
may be used with
{{
wbr
}}
and
{{
nowrap
}}
to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in infoboxes (e.g. cast list in
{{
Infobox film
}}
), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See
Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes
for details.
Full blank syntax
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
(Note: there is no limit to the number of possible rows; only 20 are given below since infoboxes larger than that will be relatively rare. Just extend the numbering as needed. The microformat "class" parameters are also omitted as they are not commonly used.)
{{Infobox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| child = {{{child|}}}
| subbox = {{{subbox|}}}
| italic title = {{{italic title|no}}}
| bodystyle =

| belowstyle =
| below =
}}
Infoboxes and user style
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
Users can have
user CSS
that hides any infoboxes in their own browsers.
To hide all infoboxes, add the following to
Special:MyPage/common.css
(for all
skins
, or
Special:MyPage/skin.css
for just the current skin), on a line by itself:
infobox
display
none
Alternatively, you can add the following code to
your common.js
or into a browser user script that is executed by an extension like
Greasemonkey
'.infobox'
).
hide
();
Be aware that although, per
WP:Manual of Style/Infoboxes
, all information in an infobox ideally should also be found in the main body of an article, there isn't perfect compliance with this guideline. For example, the full taxonomic hierarchy in
Taxobox
, and the OMIM and other medical database codes of
Infobox disease
are often not found in the main article content. The infobox is also often the location of the most significant, even only, image in an article.
Porting to other MediaWikis
ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ
The infobox template requires the
Scribunto
extension and
HTMLTidy
to be installed. It may not work with other MediaWikis.
WikiProject Transwiki
has a version of this template that has been modified to work on other MediaWikis.
