Infoboxes

Infoboxes are tables used in Articles on Radiation Wiki and also many other Wikis.

Description
An infobox is a box full of brief information that displays at the top right hand corner of almost every article. Almost always they should include an image relating to the article content in some way.

How to add an Infobox
After first clicking on Edit on a page, click on Insert on the toolbar at the top of the page, then select Infobox and then select what type of infobox you'd like from the list that comes up. We've made one for every kind of article we support, even your own Profile Page.

How to Edit an Infobox
To add some information to an Infobox; click on one, then click on the little dark box that just popped up in the top right hand corner. Now all you have to do is just fill in the fields.

Basic Wiki Markup Tips
Note that all this code only works in Infoboxes and not in article text unless you are in source mode.

Want to add a bunch of locations or something to an infobox, but you don't want them to look all bunched up? Want them on different lines? You need to use the  tag. This is like pressing the enter key on a keyboard and puts whatever is immediately after the  tag on the next line. Example: Czechoslovakia  Russia This is also handy when a word has split over two lines.

* (Asterisk)
The asterisk symbol works like a bullet point. Anything added after it will be automatically given a bullet point. No  tag is required, but you have to press enter and put the next * and its info on the next line. Example: * The Black Sea (press the enter key)
 * The Mediterranean

&
Need some nice small text? All you have to do is add the tag. Make sure you add to when you no longer want small text or everything else after it will also be small. Example: Russo - Japanese War

&
Same principle as, only this makes text big. Example: Bering Strait You can also stack the effects of and to get even smaller or even bigger text! Just make sure you / them all. Example:  Radiation Wiki

Trivia
The generalized infobox feature grew out of the original taxoboxes (taxonomy infoboxes) that editors developed to visually express the scientific classification of organisms.
