Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page.

Content boxes

edit

Are you speaking of the Table of Contents boxes? Those are automatically generated by the software as soon as an article has more than a single heading. Just write a lead and use more than two headings for the main body of the article and you'll be golden. If you are speaking about the summary boxes that are proliferating in the top right corner of many articles around Wikipedia, with repetitious biographical or company information — I REALLY HATE those things. The best way to install one is to find one that suits your uses in a similar article and to copy-and-paste the code from that "Edit This Page" box to the page you are working on... In my opinion, it's way better to come up with an interesting graphic and to write a good caption for it and to use that in the same space, however. Hope this helps.
