Editing – Templates
Templates are presets that allow information to easily be included and displayed consistently without constant rewriting of code. Each template has a purpose and it is important to know when to use them.
Infobox Templates
Infobox templates are templates used to insert an infobox onto a page. There are multiple types of infoboxes, and each have a special use case. All infoboxes and how to use them can be seen on their respective template pages via its documentation.
While most are self-explanatory in name, determining what infobox to use for a page can be difficult; specifically if one is torn between using Template:Infobox character or Template:Infobox object. Below is a flowchart to help determine which infobox would be best suited for a page.
