What are Infoboxes[edit | edit source]

Infoboxes are nothing more than a table saved as a template. However there is one minor difference: the table has a classification in its title, like so in Wikitext:

{| class=infobox .............. |} or in HTML
<table class=infobox>.........</table>

This "class=infobox" tells the table to behave like an infobox instead of a regular table and places itself on the right side of the page with a certain width, etc.

So let us create a infobox for an organization. We will do it both in Wikitext and HTML.

{| class=infobox |} <table class=infobox>
