Infoboxes are used to provide a consistent summary of the subject; navboxes help readers browse through related articles. The various templates maintained by the Aviation WikiProject are all coded to use a common set of styling characteristics, as it is beneficial for providing a consistent appearance to the entire set of articles within our scope. A number of specialized templates are available for use at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Templates. Non-free images used in infoboxes should be directly related to the subject; the use of generic logos is not recommended and usually constitutes a purely decorative use.
Navigation templates specific to aviation can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Templates#Footers. Non-free images should not be used in navboxes—this is considered a decorative use.
A few general guidelines apply to all aviation infoboxes:
A primary infobox is intended to provide a summary table for some topic. It should generally be placed at the top of an article, before the lead section; this will cause it to be displayed in the top right corner.
The various navigation templates maintained by the Aviation WikiProject are all intended to be implemented using the standard navigation box format. This is beneficial for providing a consistent appearance to the entire set of articles within our scope.
