This template is used to create an infobox in an article about a company.

Usage

To use this template in an article, copy the template below, then paste the template into an article.

All parameters are optional – those you do not populate with data will not show up in the infobox when the article is saved.

You must remove both the <!-- and --> characters that surround certain entries in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article. 

{{Infobox company
| name             = 
| logo             = 
| caption          =
| trading_name     = <!-- d/b/a/, doing business as - if different from legal name above -->
| native_name      = <!-- Company's name in home country language -->
| native_name_lang = <!-- Use ISO 639-2 code, e.g. "fr" for French. If there is more than one native name, in different languages, enter those names using {{tl|lang}}, instead. -->
| romanized        =
| former type      = 
| type             = 
| traded_as        = 
| industry         =

| defunct          = <!-- {{End date|YYYY|MM|DD}} -->
| location_city    =

| intl             =
| bodystyle        =
}}

Accessibility note

Per WP:ACCESS, do not make any text entries smaller than the default font; doing so creates an accessibility problem for many readers with imperfect vision. Specifically, do not use {{small}} or <small>...</small> in the infobox.

Parameters

Do not erase parameters that could logically apply now or in the future because you do not yet have data (such as financial results) or because the parameter does not apply today (such as defunct date), except the genre parameter, which pertains only to publishing companies, and the aum parameter, which applies only to financial services companies. You may erase a parameter if it can never logically be applicable. The intl parameter, for example, only applies to companies based outside the United States and can therefore be erased from articles about United States-based companies.

Note that the examples below are for demonstration purposes only and do not necessarily reflect actual data.

name
The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. The full legal name of the company may be different from the common name used for the article title.
Examples: Caterpillar Inc., General Electric Company, Microsoft Corporation
native_name
The full, legal non-English name of the company as it appears in the company's home country language, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof.
Examples: ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse, Нефтяна́я Компа́ния Ю́КОС.
romanized_name
Native name in Latin script. Use only if the company is based in a non-English speaking country and it has no official rendering of native name in Latin script. If the official rendering of native name in Latin script exists, use |native_name= parameter instead and omit this non-Latin names entirely.
trading_name
Trade name, doing business as, d/b/a or fictitious business name under which a company presents itself to the public. This parameter is used only when the company has a legally registered trade name that is different from the company's full, legal name.
Example: In the Verizon Wireless article, the "name" parameter is "Cellco Partnership" because that is the full, legal name of the company. However, Cellco Partnership does business as "Verizon Wireless" and you would enter Verizon Wireless in the "trading name" field.
logo
The company's current, primary wordmark and/or logo. Use the logo of the legal entity that is the subject of the article; the logo used may be different from the logo used on consumer products, particularly if the article is about a parent company or holding company.
For companies that use both a wordmark and a logo, upload a file that shows the two in combination if the combined form serves as the company's primary identity mark.
For a wordmark example, see Google; for a logo example, see Apple Inc.; for a combined logo and wordmark example see Altria.
Upload a wordmark/logo graphic using the organization logo upload form. Note: uploading trademarked corporate logos by other means or uploading corporate logos to Wikimedia Commons is likely to result in deletion of the logo.
Format: logo.png
caption
Descriptive information for the logo, if necessary. Rarely used.
Example: Logo used from 1942 to 1966
type
Type of company, wikilinked. Use the ownership parameter to list ownership percentages for private companies and joint ventures, if applicable.
Examples: [[Public company|Public]] OR [[Privately held company|Private]]
traded_as
The stock exchange(s) and stock ticker symbol(s) of publicly traded companies, using stock ticker templates. Information about the company's status as a component of a major index can also be added. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries. A list of available stock ticker symbol templates is available at Category:Ticker symbol templates.
Examples: {{NYSE|DLB}} OR {{ubl|{{NASDAQ|MSFT}}|{{SEHK|4338}}|[[Dow Jones Industrial Average]] component|[[NASDAQ-100]] component|[[S&P 500]] component}}
genre
Genres of works published by the company, listed alphabetically and wikilinked.
This parameter is used for publishing and media companies only. If this parameter is filled, consider using {{Infobox publisher}} instead, unless the company is notable for more than publishing. If the article subject is not a publishing or media company, delete this parameter from the article. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries.
Example: [[Fiction]] OR {{ubl|[[Biography|Biographies]]|[[Science fiction]]|[[Western fiction|Westerns]]}}
predecessor
The full, legal name(s) of any predecessor(s) of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. If the article subject exists as the result of the merger of two or more legal entities, list the predecessors alphabetically, using {{ubl}} to format the entries.
Examples: Apple Computer Inc. OR {{ubl|[[C. L. Best|C. L. Best Tractor Company]]|[[Holt Manufacturing Company]]}}
successor<ref name="defunct" group="lower-alpha">This parameter is used only for a defunct company.</ref>
The full, legal name(s) of any successor(s) of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. If the article subject has two or more successors, list the successors alphabetically, using {{ubl}} to format the entries.
Examples: [[Apple, Inc.]] OR {{ubl|[[The People's Corporation of Judea]]|[[Splitters, Inc.]]}}
foundation
Location and date of the company's founding (establishment). Use {{Start date}} for the date. Location may be in the format of [[City, State or Province]], Country, or simply [[City]], Country if a subnational unit is not conventionally given. Use the most-recognizable names in English; link only the lowest-level independent component of the location. Per WP:OVERLINK, do not wikilink the country. Per WP:Manual of Style (icons), do not use flag icons; flag icons place an unnecessary emphasis on nationality and can be misleading.
Examples: [[Teaneck, New Jersey]], United States ({{Start date|1975|04|27}}); [[Malmö]], Sweden ({{Start date|1925|12|02}})
founder
Entrepreneur(s) who founded the company. List the founders alphabetically by surname. Use {{ubl}} to format the entries. Wikilink the names of founders who are notable as defined by Wikipedia.
Example: Thomas Oliver OR {{ubl|[[Paul Allen]]|[[Bill Gates]]}}
defunct<ref name="defunct" group="lower-alpha"></ref>
Date (at least year, more specific if known) that the company became defunct (legally dissolved). Use {{End date}} for the date.
Examples: {{End date|2000}} or {{End date|2000|06|30}}
fate<ref name="defunct" group="lower-alpha"></ref>
The reason a company became defunct or the change type and the full legal name of the acquiring or merging entity, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof.
Examples: Acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc. OR Bankrupted OR Dissolved OR Merged with Thompson Corporation
location_city
Current city, or city and state/province, of the company's headquarters. Use the location's most-recognizable name in English; link only the lowest-level independent component of the location (if not already wikilinked in the foundation parameter). May be in the format of [[City, State or Province]], or simply [[City]] if a subnational unit is not conventionally given. If this parameter is used, also populate location_country. Do not provide a street address, except in the rare case that the location, for example the corporate campus, is independently notable.
Examples: [[Redmond, Washington]] OR [[Nuremberg]]
location_country
Current country of the company's headquarters. Use its most-recognizable name in English, but do not wikilink the country per WP:OVERLINK. Do not use flag icons, per WP:Manual of Style (icons). If this parameter is used, also populate location_city.
Example: Germany.
locations
Number of locations the company has physical properties, expressed as a number, followed by the property type, then the applicable year in parentheses.
Example: 815 stores (2011)
area_served
Geographic area(s) in which the company does business. Use the largest geographic area(s) that apply. If, for example, a company does business in every province in Canada, list Canada, do not list each province. Do not wikilink if it would be redundant with the linking in a previous parameter, such as foundation or location_country. If there is more than one entry, list them alphabetically and use {{ubl}} to format the entries.
Examples: Worldwide OR North America OR [[New York metropolitan area]] OR {{ubl|[[Contiguous United States]]|[[Puerto Rico]]|[[United States Virgin Islands]]}}
key_people
Up to four key individuals closely associated with the company. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries. List the figures in order of organizational role importance. Give job title(s) in parentheses (round brackets); these job titles are capitalized per WP:Manual of Style (capital letters) because they follow the name. If a founder is already listed in the founder parameter, do not list them again here as a founder; you may however list them along with their job title (Chairman, President, etc.)
Generally list prominent, current executives within the company holding key positions such as chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc., but do not list roles below chief officer level if they are not notable. Do include top executives even not individually notable, but do not wikilink them.
Use popular names rather than formal names if the key figure has an existing Wikipedia article.
It may be appropriate add, at the end, past executives who played an especially prominent role in the company's history .
For defunct companies, list the most prominent former executives.
Example: {{ubl|[[Tim Cook]] ([[Chief executive officer|CEO]])|[[Arthur D. Levinson]] ([[Chairman]])|[[Jonathan Ive]] ([[Senior vice-president|SVP]] of [[Industrial Design]])|[[Steve Jobs]] (Chairman, 1976-1985, 2011; CEO, 1997–2011)}}

production
The number of units produced in the most recent year and the year prior, stating the year in parentheses. Indicate what is being measured, such as vehicles, units or devices. You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Please note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.
Example: {{ubl|{{increase}} 2,856 vehicles (2011)|2,177 vehicles (2010)}}
services
A representative selection of the company's well known current and/or former services offered, listed alphabetically. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries.

(Revenue is referred to as "turnover" in the United Kingdom.) Wikilink the currency unit and indicate country for common currency units like "dollar".
Example: {{ubl|{{increase}}US$512,256,128,064 (2011)|US$412,552,687,117 (2010)}}

aum
The company's total assets under management (AUM) in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses.
This entry is used for financial services companies only. If the article subject is not a financial services company, delete this parameter from the article.
Example: {{ubl|{{increase}}US$213.5 million (2011)|US$175.8 million (2010)}}
assets
Total assets controlled by the company in its most recent fiscal year and the year prior, with the applicable year s in parentheses.

When listing a company as an owner, use the full legal name of the entity that holds the ownership stake in the article's subject company. List the owners alphabetically and use {{ubl}} to format the entries.

num_employees
Total number of people employed by the company in the most recent year and the year prior, with the applicable years in parentheses. To separate thousands (e.g. 12,200; 5,200) please use a comma (,) instead of a full stop (.) per WP:MOSNUM.
Example: {{ubl|{{steady}}127 (2011)|127 (2010)}}

Example, in the case of Solar Turbines Incorporated: [[Caterpillar Inc.]]
divisions
The primary functional or operational business divisions of a company, listed alphabetically. These divisions align with the internal organizational structure of the company and may or may not align with the company's legally incorporated subsidiaries. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries. If there are more than five divisions and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.
Example, for a fictional telecom corporation:{{ubl|Business sales|Consumer sales|Information technologies|Network|Regulatory|Finance}}
subsid
The primary legally incorporated subsidiaries owned by the company, listed alphabetically. Use the full, legal name of each subsidiary, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof. Wikilink each subsidiary that has its own unique article. For publicly traded companies, a list of subsidiaries is disclosed in the company's annual report. If there is more than one entry, use {{ubl}} to format the entries. If there are more than five subsidiaries and the article body lists them or discusses them, consider linking to that part of the article rather than listing them in the infobox.
Example, for Caterpillar Inc.: {{ubl|Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation|Caterpillar Marine Power Systems|[[Perkins Engines Co. Limited]]|[[Progress Rail Services Corporation]]}}
homepage
Top level URL of the company's website, using the {{URL}} template. Do not include the leading www. unless the URL will not resolve without it.
Examples: {{URL|caterpillar.com}}
footnotes
Use to list citations that validate the data in the infobox and/or to note information about the terms, names and figures used in the infobox.
intl
Enter yes in the data area to change some labels from U.S. terminology to international terminology. If the company is based in the United States, remove this parameter.
bodystyle
See {{Infobox/doc}}. Example: can be used to set width of Infobox to 28 em with:
bodystyle = width:28em;

Instructions for the financial results parameters

The revenue, operating_income, net_income, aum, assets and equity are used to record a company's financial information.

Wikilink the first occurrence of the currency unit. This is usually in the |revenue= parameter.

Each parameter entry should include three elements: an indicator icon, the results of the most recent fiscal year and the results of the previous fiscal year.

Example: {{ubl|{{increase}} US$128,064,032 (2011)|US$111,586,447 (2010)}}

Indicator icons

You may include an indicator icon to indicate the change compared to the previous fiscal year; to avoid confusion, place the indicator before the number. Please note that this is intended to depict the direction of change compared to the previous year, not the actual numerical change in value.

Increase {{increase}}, Steady {{steady}}, or Decrease {{decrease}}
Examples:
{{ubl|{{increase}} US$128,064,032 (2011)|US$111,586,447 (2010)}}
{{ubl|{{steady}} US$128,000,000 (2011)|US$128,000,000 (2010)}}
{{ubl|{{decrease}} US$111,586,447 (2011)|US$128,064,032 (2010)}}
Which display as:
  • Increase US$128,064,032 (2011)
  • US$111,586,447 (2010)
  • Steady US$128,000,000 (2011)
  • US$128,000,000 (2010)


  • Decrease US$111,586,447 (2011)
  • US$128,064,032 (2010)

Consistent notation

There are different ways to record financial results that are in the millions or billions of dollars. Pick one and use it consistently in all parameters. If using billions, always wikilink the first occurrence as [[1,000,000,000|billion]]s, since "billion" has more than one meaning. Use &nbsp; to prevent wrapping between elements of the numbers, per WP:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

Do not express results as a decimal such as {{increase}} US$.963&nbsp;billion (2010). Instead choose a notation that will allow you to express all results for the period in whole numbers.

In this example use {{increase}} US$963&nbsp;million (2010) or {{increase}} US$963,000,000 (2010) and apply your choice to all the financial results consistently.

Infobox company/doc

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

{{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|}}}
... <!-- etc. -->
}}

Optional control parameters

name
If this parameter is present, "view/talk/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 to the template code rather than the data in the infobox 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.
autoheaders
If this is set to any non-blank value, headers which are not followed by data fields are suppressed. See the "hiding headers when all its data fields are empty" section for more details.

Content parameters

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 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

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

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

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

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 its data fields are empty

You can also make headers automatically hide when their section is empty (has no data-row showing).

Consider this situation:

Example: header with & without data
Header1 with empty section
Header5 with data below
label6 textSome value
{{Infobox
 | title   = Example: header with & without data
 | headerstyle = background:lightgrey

 | header1 = Header1 with empty section
 |  label2 = label2 text |   data2 =
 |  label3 = label3 text |   data3 =
 |  label4 = label4 text |   data4 =

 | header5 = Header5 with data below
 |  label6 = label6 text |   data6 = Some value
}}

If you want hide the header when no |dataN= values are present, use |autoheaders=y:

Example: header with & without data
Header5 with data below
label6 textSome value

<syntaxhighlight lang="moin" style="overflow:auto">

Example: header with & without data
Header5 with data below
label6 textSome value

</syntaxhighlight>

So, 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 visible content.

Note: if the data has empty css elements, like |data=<span style="background:yellow;"></span>, this will be treated as non-empty (having data).

If |autoheaders=y but there are items that you do not want to trigger a header, place |headerX=_BLANK_. This will serve as an empty header and separate it from the subsequent items.

Example: blank header with & without data
label6 textSome value, but does not trigger header1 or show header5

<syntaxhighlight lang="moin" style="overflow:auto">

Example: header with & without data
label6 textSome value, but does not trigger header1 or show header5

</syntaxhighlight>

Footer

below
Text to put in the bottom cell. The bottom cell is intended for footnotes, see-also, and other such information.

Presentation parameters

Italic titles

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

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
subheaderstyle
Applies to all subheader cells
labelstyle
Applies to all label cells
datastyle
Applies to all data cells
belowstyle
Applies only to the below cell

HTML classes and microformats

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 being 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

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
Example alt text
Caption displayed below File:Example-serious.jpg
Header defined alone
Data defined alone
All three defined (header, label, data, all with same number)
Label and data defined (label)Label and data defined (data)
Below text

<syntaxhighlight lang="Sass" style="overflow:auto" highlight="15"> Lua error in Module:Navbar at line 58: Invalid title {{subst:PAGENAME}}.

</syntaxhighlight>

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
Label 1Data 1
Label 2Data 2
Label 3Data 3
Header 4
Label 5Data 5: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Below text

<syntaxhighlight lang="sass" highlight="3,9" style="overflow: auto"> Lua error in Module:Navbar at line 58: Invalid title {{subst:PAGENAME}}.

</syntaxhighlight>

Embedding

One infobox template can be embedded into another using the |child= 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 1.1Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1Data 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 1.1Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1Data 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 1.1Data 1.1
Second subsection
Label 2.1Data 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. The garbage output can be suppressed using |rowstyleN=display: none, replacing N with the data/header number.

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 |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 3-3Data 3-3
Label 4-1Data 4-1
Label 5Data 5
Main 6

<syntaxhighlight lang="sass" style="overflow:auto">

Main 1
Main 2
Sub 3-1
Sub 3-2
Label 3-3Data 3-3
Label 4-1Data 4-1
Label 5Data 5
Main 6

</syntaxhighlight>

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 3-3Data 3-3
Label 4-1Data 4-1
Heading 5

<syntaxhighlight lang="sass" style="overflow:auto">

Heading 1
Heading 2
Sub 3-1
Sub 3-2
Label 3-3Data 3-3
Label 4-1Data 4-1
Heading 5

</syntaxhighlight>

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

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

(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.)

Infoboxes and user style

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: <syntaxhighlight lang="css">.infobox { display: none; }</syntaxhighlight>

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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="js">$('.infobox').hide();</syntaxhighlight>

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

The infobox template requires the Scribunto extension. WikiProject Transwiki has a version of this template that has been modified to work on other MediaWikis.
