"सहायता:ज्ञानसन्दूक": अवतरणों में अंतर

The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through [[Wikipedia:Consensus|discussion and consensus among the editors]] at each individual article.

 

Infobox templates contain important facts and statistics of a type which are common to related articles. For instance, all animals have a scientific classification (species, family and so on), as well as a conservation status. Adding a {{tl|taxobox}} to articles on animals therefore makes it easier to quickly find such information and to compare it with that of other articles.

 

Many infoboxes also emit metadata such as [[microformat]]s (see [[WP:UF|the microformats project]]).

 

In general, data in infobox templates should be:

 

* '''Already cited elsewhere in the article.''' Infoboxes, like the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)|introduction to the article]], should primarily contain material that is expanded on and supported by citations to reliable sources elsewhere in the article. However, if necessary (e.g., because the article is currently incomplete), it is possible to include [[Wikipedia:Footnotes|footnotes]] in infoboxes.

 

In general, data in infobox templates should not have:

 

* '''Flags.''' Flag icons should generally [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Avoid flag icons in infoboxes|not be used]] in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many.

 

 

There are two steps required to add an infobox to an article:

* You used the parameter name more than once: only the final instance displays.

 

{{Main|Help:Infobox picture}}

Images are generally specified using the <CODE>image</CODE> and <CODE>caption</CODE> parameters. However, the template may use a different name for this parameter. For example, {{tp|Infobox album}} uses "Cover" instead of "image" and "Caption" instead of "caption".
