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

{{ShipInfobox
| image = Example.jpg
| manufacturer = Manufacturer name
| type = Explorer
| cost = 123,456
| landingpad = Medium
| hullmass = 230
}}

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 CR and t 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.
