We would like to build an information source and 'how to' for editing and creating infoboxes as well as creating the specific infoboxes themselves. This way we can learn through the creation and development process so the community does not need to rely on one specific user for the development or alternation of a specific infobox or feature. | We would like to build an information source and 'how to' for editing and creating infoboxes as well as creating the specific infoboxes themselves.

The Infobox template is designed based on the wiki-style table coding. | The Infobox template is designed based on the wiki-style table coding. The coding within the table is '''very''' versatile and can allow for fairly simple or rather complicated designs. No mater how complicated the infobox template, the usage of the template on a target page allows for easy editing of the important information while the complicated coding is hidden from the regular editor. | ||
