Group infobox

Documentation for {{group infobox}}

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}}.

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".

Usage

{{group infobox
|name           = Name of group or organisation
