An infobox on Wikipedia is a consistently-formatted table which is present in articles with a common subject. Please move your infobox into the main list when it has been implemented.
An infobox may or may not use the template software feature. Infobox templates are an alternative to static infoboxes; they can be used to create a common look between subject items, with a minimum of coding within articles. See also Wikipedia:Infobox templates.
Please avoid creating unnecessary infoboxes; consider first whether an existing infobox already meets your needs, or can be adapted to do so. Superfluous infoboxes are likely to be nominated and approved for deletion, wasting your and other editors' time and efforts.
If your infobox is aligned right, please consider having it no wider than 1/3 the width of the available page.
