Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/Subtemplates
Many infoboxes use subtemplates.
Metadata / formatting subtemplates
[edit]Most infoboxes use subtemplates chiefly to emit metadata as part of embedded microformats (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats), or for formatting purposes. Here are some subtemplates which you may use:
- Coordinates
- {{Coord}}
- Event dates
- {{Start date}}
- {{End date}}
- List formatting
- {{Plainlist}}
- {{Flatlist}}
- URLs
- {{URL}}
Please see each subtemplate's documentation for usage guidelines. See the relevant infobox's documentation for further examples.
Embedding one infobox into another
[edit]One infobox template can be embedded into another using the |child= parameter or the |embed= parameter. This feature can be used to create a modular infobox, or to create better-defined logical sections. For more information on how to do this, please see Template:Infobox#Embedding.
