Usage

[edit] Aviation Infobox

{{Infobox Aviation}} This infobox is used for the Lead image of aviation-related articles, and to provide a place for a title heading. It is designed to provide some visual compatibility with the {{Infobox Aircraft}}, WPAIR's primary infobox. It is not used for aircraft types; for that, use {{Infobox Aircraft}}. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use {{Aircraft specifications}} It can also be used in any WP article as a Lead image box, as there is nothing aviation-specific about the output.

Only |name= is a required field. |image= is an optional setting, but this box should only be used if a picture is available. Caption is also optionl, but should be descriptive, or not used.

{{Infobox Aviation
|name=
|image=<!--in the ''image:filename'' format-->
|caption=
}}

[edit] Example
