Template:Infobox
Usage
A generic, right-floated reference infobox — styling lives in
MediaWiki:Common.css (.edfm-infobox), not inline, so it
stays consistent and easy to retheme later.
{{Infobox
|name = Display title (defaults to the page name)
|image = Filename.png (optional)
|label1 = Type |row1 = Multipurpose
|label2 = Manufacturer |row2 = ...
|label3 = ... |row3 = ...
}}
Up to 12 label/row pairs (extended 2026-08-07 for the Engineer infobox,
which needs around 10 — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering
Architecture]]). No matching CSS change was needed to extend this: the
.edfm-infobox-row class in Common.css isn't numbered per-row,
so any number of rows renders correctly with the existing styles. If a
future article genuinely needs more than 12, add further
rowN/labelN pairs here the same way.
The image slot always renders directly under the title, whether or not
|image= is set (added 2026-08-07 for the Engineer roster,
none of which have portrait images yet). With no |image=, it
shows a dashed-border "No image available" placeholder
(.edfm-infobox-image-placeholder in Common.css) instead of
disappearing, so editors can see at a glance where a portrait belongs and
readers aren't left wondering if something failed to load.
Optional group headers (2026-08-08, backward compatible — omit
entirely and the infobox renders exactly as before): |groupN=
inserts a small section label immediately before rowN. Use
this to break a long infobox into scannable groups, e.g. an Engineer
infobox split into "ENGINEER" (type/system/facility/specialties/grade)
and "ACCESS" (prerequisite/discovery/invitation/unlock):
{{Infobox
|name = The Dweller
|group1 = ENGINEER
|label1 = Engineer type |row1 = ...
|label2 = System |row2 = ...
|group6 = ACCESS
|label6 = Prerequisite |row6 = ...
}}
Only add a groupN where a new group genuinely starts — most
infoboxes on this wiki don't need grouping at all, and adding one to
every single row would just add visual noise.
