Usage

This template has a large number of parameters, some of which, for historical reasons have duplicates that have been deprecated. Please note that parameter names are case-sensitive.

Only one parameter is required:

• name - The name that will appear as the title of the infobox. Please do not change the colour of the text here, do so in background below.

The remaining parameters are as follows (in the order that they will appear in the template output):

• background - the background colour of name parameter, either as a "colour name" (e.g. forestgreen), a hexadecimal value (e.g. #0093cf), or a colour template (e.g. #{{C2C colour}}). If the background is dark, please change the text colour by appending the CSS color selector. (e.g. background = black;color:white or background = #806040;color:#ffffdd ). Note that quotation marks are not permitted in these CSS statements. If |background= is present, but blank, the default is white; but if this parameter is omitted entirely, the default background colour is #eee.
• image - The filename for the infobox image.
• imagealt - Alternative text for image.
• imagesize - (or image_size) The size (width) of the images in pixels (as in imagesize=200). If |imagesize= is present, but blank the image will appear full size; but if this parameter is omitted entirely, the default size is 300 pixels wide.
