Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Infobox templates

Please be sure to use the correct infoboxes. Some English speaking countries have specific templates that provide parameters for the data points appropriate for their schools.


 * Most schools use the generic Infobox school, designed to be placed on articles about primary and secondary schools of all kinds, public or private.
 * Generally, elementary/primary, middle, secondary, form, FE and vocational schools in Commonwealth countries (United Kingdom and its former territories) that have the word College in their name are not universities, and should not use a university infobox. Check the ages allowed to enroll at a school to be sure that the guidance here applies.
 * Most school districts use the generic Infobox school district, as do other local administrative bodies responsible for providing education to minors. Some U.S. school districts have custom infoboxes, though; consult their documentation page if you encounter one.
 * Do not create new school infobox templates. If you feel something on an existing template should be improved, please start a discussion on that template's talk page. If you feel a new infobox template is needed altogether, please start a discussion on the WikiProject Schools talk page.
