This template is used to show an infobox for a page. It should be the first of the page, before the general description. This template also uses the {{Infobox/row}} template for rendering a title, an optional {{articleimage}}, and 30 optional rows of custom data headings.

Note: This template provides the main functionality of the {{Infobox}}, whereas the latter further automates the theme selection. These may be merged later.

Parameters

• infoboxname: The name of the infobox calling this template, for the link to documentation (case sensitive, defaults to no documentation link displayed)
• title: The title to use in the top heading of the infobox (optional, defaults to {{PAGENAME}})
• float: Whether the infobox should float to the right (any value will do, defaults to no float)
• mainstyle: The CSS statements to use for the theme colours of the main infobox rectangle (optional, defaults to stylesheet colours)
• headstyle: The CSS statements to use for the theme colours of the full-width headings (optional, defaults to stylesheet colours)
• leadstyle: The CSS statements to use for the theme colours of the alternate full-width headings (optional, defaults to stylesheet colours)
• datastyle: The CSS statements to use for the theme colours of the data cells (optional, defaults to stylesheet colours)
• class: One of the theme titles on the themes subpage, or a custom class (lowercase, multiple values are space-delimited, defaults to no class)
• image: The filename of the image to use as the infobox's article image (case sensitive, defaults to a default image)
• imagecaption: The text to show in the tooltip when the article image is hovered (case sensitive, defaults to 'Image for article: {{PAGENAME}}')
• noimage: Whether the article image should be absent altogether (any value will do, defaults to false)
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization by the {{articleimage}} template (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).
