== Ship infobox ==
[[Template:ShipInfobox]] displays structured ship details. Place it at the top of a ship article, after any page-wide maintenance notices and before the lead paragraph. Only enter values that are known and supported by a reliable source; an empty field can be omitted.

'''What to type'''
<pre>{{ShipInfobox
| image = Example.jpg
| manufacturer = Manufacturer name
| type = Explorer
| cost = 123,456
| landingpad = Medium
| hullmass = 230
}}</pre>
The template produces a ship information panel. Replace the examples with the actual filename and values; do not upload or link an unrelated image. The template supplies units such as <code>CR</code> and <code>t</code> for the fields that require them, so do not repeat the units in those parameters.

'''See a populated example''': the infobox on [[Mandalay]] shows the resulting image and grouped details. The full list of currently supported parameters appears on [[Template:ShipInfobox]].

== Other infoboxes ==
Look for an existing topic-specific infobox before using a generic one. The local [[Template:Infobox]] has its own parameters and differs from Wikipedia's template of the same name. Check its documentation and preview it before using it; do not assume parameters are interchangeable.
