Editing Template:Infobox/Base/doc (section)

=== Subject template example ===

You can create an infobox template that itself calls {{tl|Infobox/Base}}. Indeed, this is the preferred way to use {{tl|Infobox/Base}}&mdash;you can create an infobox that employs a reusable, standard set of parameters for a common subject without needing to use complex wiki code or HTML.

{{Infobox/Base
| ibname     = {{{name|}}}
| ibtype     = City
| image      = {{{image|}}}

| bgcolor    = #363
| fgcolor    = #fff

| paramname1 = Titles
| param1     = {{{titles|}}}

| paramname2 = Nation
| param2     = {{{nation|}}}

| paramname3 = Region
| param3     = {{{region|}}}

| paramname4 = Size
| param4     = {{{size|}}}

| paramname5 = Population
| param5     = {{{population|}}}

| paramname6 = Demographics
| param6     = {{{demographics|}}}

| paramname7 = Government
| param7     = {{{government|}}}

| paramname8 = Alignment
| param8     = {{{alignment|}}}

| paramname9 = Demonym
| param9     = {{{natives|}}}

| paramname10 = Adjective
| param10     = {{{adjective|}}}

| paramname11 = Ruler
| param11     = {{{ruler|}}}

| paramname12 = Leader
| param12     = {{{leader|}}}

| paramname13 = regionmap
| param13     = {{{regionmap|}}}

| paramname14 = source
| param14     = {{{source|}}}
| page        = {{{page|}}}
}}

| paramname12 = Leader
| param12     = {{{leader|}}}

| paramname13 = regionmap

| page        = {{{page|}}}
}}

The above example is {{tl|City}}. See that template's documentation for details on its usage. {{tl|City}} passes its content to {{tl|Infobox}} through its own defined parameters.

When creating an infobox template using {{tl|Infobox/Base}}, you can make a parameter always appear by adding a fallback value. For example, to make the '''region''' parameter above a required or always-appearing parameter, change its '''param''' from {{xt|<nowiki>{{{region|}}}</nowiki>}} to {{xt|<nowiki>{{{region|''required''}}</nowiki>}}.
