Methods for adding a custom parameter to an infobox should be documented. I was able to add the "Designer" parameter to the "ship" or "Ship" infobox for the MV Island Sky. No success in adding a parameter to the "connector" infobox for PS/2 port. The Ship infobox begins with "Infobox Ship Begin" and the connector infobox has no such "Begin". How can a parameter be added to the connector infobox? Thanks, PeterEasthope ( talk) 21:10, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I agree that the fact that I have to list every single parameter in an #if statement for the header is cumbersome. a particularly intense example is header5 in {{
infobox school}}. it would be great if I could say |header5cond=6-177
or |header5cond=6 to 177
instead. having it even more automated would be great, but in this case, I don't want it to be triggered for anything after 177.

|header5=Information
and the datacontent-check as is done now (please now take a look at the required code). Solution 2: Not as a feature request, but the new code could have this desired side-effect: use |header5-cond=Information
and add |header178-cond=<blank>
to {{Infobox school}} (+shift higher numbers), and maybe the condition may be checked. Non-solution, 3: I don't support to require add & maintain(!) the rowcode, conditional row numbers, as Frietjes proposes. Too dependent on maintenance. Note: about this infobox design, I wonder if it is OK anyway to add those 178+ data rows below the header "Information", given that they are generic. Maybe leave out "Information" header completely. -
DePiep (
talk) 11:43, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Well I support either solution 1 or 2 above and support this feature request in general. It might be worth looking at the school infobox in more detail because we may be able to add footnotes as a dedicated parameter (or just use below as advised in documentation) and I'm not sure what those pictures are doing at the bottom of the infobox? — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 12:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

DePiep (
talk) 13:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Hi, as far as I see it, infobox does not currently support specifying any values for the HTML standard attribute title="text" for spans or table cells. If specified, browsers will show a popup help bubble displaying the given text while hovering the mouse over the corresponding span or table cell.
Background is that sometimes the entries (headers, labels and data entries) in infoboxes are a bit short and it would be great if somewhat more verbose text versions or additional explanations etc. could be given for interested users without having to add a lot of footnotes etc.
Syntaxwise, the title="text" attribute works like id="" or style="", so it should be straightforward to add to the existing code without any compatibility problems. This would give us optional title1=, title2= etc. parameters alongside the header1=, label1=, data1=, header2=, label2=, data2= etc. parameters. We'd just have to take care not to confuse these parameters with the already existing set of parameters for the infobox title.
Thanks. -- Matthiaspaul ( talk) 21:10, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Redrose64 (

It appears that non-linked text next to an image in this template is rendered higher than linked text (see ‘Rank’ here for an example; I also inserted the text and image into the main infobox at Aristotle and got (in a preview) the same thing, so I'm assuming the issue affects all infoboxes on Wikipedia). Is this a purely technical issue, or does the template code simply have to be changed? Esszet ( talk) 00:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
By virtue of the fact that it is placed inside the infobox, |above=
has come to be used in lieu of |title=
by people who find it to be more visually appealing. However, |above=
is marked up as a regular header cell, and not a table caption, like |title=
; therefore, not only do infoboxes which use |above=
suffer semantically, but they also fail to satisfy WCAG 2.0, and, by extension, our
accessibility guidelines. To overcome this, I propose that |above=
be converted into an inside-the-box caption, and thus be made mutually exclusive with |title=
. As a first step, we’d need to add tracking to the module to identify infoboxes which use both |title=
and |above=
.

How do we italicize names of works with parentheses in the title? I am looking at The Afterman (Live Edition), Our Color Green (The Singles), and Pony Down (Prelude), each of which is an album with a parenthetical word or phrase as part of the title, so the whole title, including the parenthetical portion, should be italicized.
I have tried various combinations of parameters and italicizing the title of the album within {{ infobox album}}, but I have been unable to make the article's title display properly. This is a problem; we are misrepresenting the names of creative works in our article titles.
For what it's worth, (un)arranged marriage works fine. I am unable to find any articles for books with this problem, but parentheses in book titles are much rarer than those in album names.
I found this post from the archives, but I did not see a link to a successful example. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 01:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
