:Hi. The easiest way to do infoboxes is go to a page that has the infobox you need look at the source (ie edit the page, just don't save anything) copy the infobox and paste it to the page you want, deleting all the bits from the previous page. So for example [[Fission gun]], copy that and you get this:
<pre>
{{Infobox Object
|image = [[Image:Fission_gun.jpg|250px]]
|Object name = Fission gun
|type = Weapon
|origin = [[Human]]s
|appearances = [[DW]]: ''[[The Ark in Space]]''
}}
</pre>
You'd copy that and then paste it onto [[Auto guard]] (for example) and then delete all the bits and pieces that were particular to the Fission gun thus:
<pre>
{{Infobox Object
|image =
|Object name =
|type =
|origin =
|appearances =
}}</pre>
And then add in what you wanted to put in the infobox. That's basically the easiest way to do all of the infoboxes generally speaking. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

How do I add the template "infobox: object" to a page that I am trying to write?

I'm sure it's very simple, but i can't seem to get it right - please, someone help.
