The various primary and auxiliary infobox templates and navigation templates maintained by the Military history WikiProject are all coded to use a common set of styling characteristics. This is needed primarily because a number of the templates are designed to be stacked together to present the appearance of a continuous block; it is also beneficial for providing a consistent appearance to the entire set of articles within our scope.
The style is controlled by the {{WPMILHIST Infobox style}} template, which generates a number of different codes based on the parameter passed to it.

A sample template using some of these options can be seen at right. From the top, it includes:
- The main
header_bar
in a table heading cell. - A
sub_header_bar
in a normal table cell. - An
image_box
. - Two normal fields with labels.
- A secondary
header_bar
in a heading cell. - A pair of cells divided by an
internal_border
. - A cell with a
section_border
at the top. - Another secondary
header_bar
in a heading cell. - An
image_box_plain
.
More sophisticated samples of the code can be found by examining the actual infoboxes used by the project.
