Template:Infobox generic/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template can create an infobox for most scenarios that might be needed. It should be used in cases where an infobox is needed for only a handful of pages and thus creating a unique template for the situation might not make sense.

This template can also be used to quickly create an infobox to be used on multiple pages. Just create a new 'Template:Whatever' page and then add this template to it with any elements you want to vary from page to page set to specific parameter names. For example, |lbl1=Continent:|row1={{{continent|}}}, would be called with something like {{Whatever|continent=Africa}} and display a 'Continent: Africa' row.
