User:Selmo/Infobox tutorial

An infobox is pretty much what it sounds like: it's a box, usually to the right side of the screen, containing the most important information. They're usually stored in templates, since they're almost always used in articles within a category.

Creating one is rather easy. To begin, in the search box to the left of your screen, type Template:Infobox name here. It's a convention to name all infobox templates with the prefix "Infobox". Next, type " . This will give you a basic infobox. The result is shown to the left of your screen.

Now we're going to customize our infobox.
