Only the name and powertype parameters are required and everything else gets hidden if its not used. This is generic enough so that it could be used for any type of locomotive (steam, diesel, electric, multiple-unit, gas turbine, etc.) and it could be used for a generic locomotive class (like the EMD GP30 example) or a specific locomotive (like the John Bull example). All of the parameters are shown on the talk page. The example shows using the infobox for a locomotive model, additional examples are on the template's talk page.

[edit] Aircraft Infobox

{{Infobox Aircraft}} This infobox is used to summarize an aircraft's key points. It is not used for dimensions or performance; for that, use {{Aircraft specifications}}.

[edit] Usage

Only |name=, |type=, and |manufacturer= are required fields. All others are optional, though some have guidelines you should follow to achieve the best, most consistent appearance.

{{infobox Aircraft
  |name = #REQUIRED <!--please avoid stating manufacturer in this field; it's stated two lines below -->
  |type = #REQUIRED
  |manufacturer = #REQUIRED
  |image = <!--in the ''image:filename'' format, no image tags-->
  |caption = <!--image caption; if it isn't descriptive it should be left blank-->
  |designer = <!--only appropriate for single designers, not project leaders-->
  |first flight = <!--if it hasn't happened, leave it out!-->
  |introduction = <!--date the aircraft entered or will enter military or revenue service-->
  |retired = <!--date the aircraft left military or revenue service. If vague or multiples, it probably should be skipped-->
  |status = <!--in most cases, this field is redundant; use it sparingly-->
  |primary user = <!--please list only one, and don't use those tiny flags as they limit horizontal space-->
  |more users = <!--limited to three "more users" total. please separate with <br/>-->
  |produced = <!--years in production, e.g. 1970-1999, if still in active use but no longer built-->
  |number built = 
  |unit cost = 
  |developed from = <!-- the aircraft which formed the basis for the topic type -->
  |variants with their own articles = <!-- variants OF the topic type -->
}}

Please note that if there are more than three other users, only the primary user should be listed.

A weapon infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular weapon or weapon system (such as a firearm, a sword, a grenade, an artillery piece, a torpedo, or a tank); cartridges and artillery shells should use {{Infobox Firearm Cartridge}} instead. The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox Weapon}} template, as shown below:
