This template is used on approximately 150,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

The various primary and auxiliary infobox templates and navigation templates maintained by the Military history WikiProject are all coded to use a common set of styling characteristics. This is needed primarily because a number of the templates are designed to be stacked together to present the appearance of a continuous block; it is also beneficial for providing a consistent appearance to the entire set of articles within our scope.
The style is controlled by the {{WPMILHIST Infobox style}} template, which generates a number of different codes based on the parameter passed to it.
{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|main_box}}
– produces the CSSclass
andstyle
parameters for an infobox at a width of 315 pixels.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|main_box_raw}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for an infobox at a width of 315 pixels.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|main_box_raw_auto_width}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for an infobox (same asmain_box_raw
but withoutwidth:315px
).{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|header_bar}}
– produces the CSSstyle
parameters for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|header_raw}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|header_color}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
color attributes for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|sub_header_bar}}
– produces the CSSstyle
parameters for a horizontal sub-header bar in an infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|sub_header_raw}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for a horizontal sub-header bar in an infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|image_box}}
– produces the CSSstyle
parameters for a standard image & caption block with a bottom border.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|image_box_raw}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for a standard image & caption block with a bottom border.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|image_box_plain}}
– produces the CSSstyle
parameters for a standard image & caption block without a bottom border; this is typically used when the image block is placed immediately above a header bar, or at the bottom of the infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|image_box_plain_raw}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
parameters for a standard image & caption block without a bottom border; this is typically used when the image block is placed immediately above a header bar, or at the bottom of the infobox.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|internal_border}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
attributes for a border between parts of the same infobox section.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|section_border}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
attributes for a border between different infobox sections.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|nav_box}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
attributes for a collapsible navigation template at a width of 315 pixels.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|nav_box_child}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
attributes for a collapsible navigation template (same asnav_box
but at a width of 305 pixels and withoutmargin-left:1em
).{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|nav_box_wide}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle
attributes for a full-width collapsible navigation template.{{WPMILHIST Infobox style|nav_box_header}}
– produces the raw CSSstyle

A sample template using some of these options can be seen at right. From the top, it includes:
- The main
header_bar
in a table heading cell. - A
sub_header_bar
in a normal table cell. - An
image_box
. - Two normal fields with labels.
- A secondary
header_bar
in a heading cell. - A pair of cells divided by an
internal_border
. - A cell with a
section_border
at the top. - Another secondary
header_bar
in a heading cell. - An
image_box_plain
.
More sophisticated samples of the code can be found by examining the actual infoboxes used by the project.
