[edit] Usage

[edit] See also

• I:I - for other infoboxes.

[edit] Use

This infobox is for groups and organisation. These are generally considered articles that cannot be described fully by the {{place infobox}} or {{character infobox}}. Also, if it is a species or race in question, use {{species infobox}} instead. A group is usually a collection of characters, and each character may have different importance for the overall plot than its other characters. For instance, Fatbot appears a lot more than the other Fratbots.

For organisations, it would apply to something as DOOP or similar. Something with too many people and too many locations to serve with a single "place infobox".

[edit] Usage

{{group infobox
|name           = Name of group or organisation
|image          = [[Image:Image.png|225px]] If logo is available, use that.
|image text     = (optional)
|location       = (optional) Its primary location(s).
|business       = (optional) Type of business
|leader         = (optional) Leader of the group
|type           = (optional) Organisation type
|first appear   =

}}

[edit] Use

This navigation is for episode or film articles. There are other types for other articles (see below). Its purpose is to have the same sort of navigation that the {{episode infobox}} or the {{film infobox}} gives, just at the bottom, so when the reader have finished the page, there will be a navigation available for him.

|prev ep    = Previous episode in production order.
|prev film  = Previous film (optional)
|next ep    = Next episode in production order.
|next film  = Next film (optional)
