Has there been a change to the way infoboxes behave on the page? I feel like one used to be able to put a float:left image opposite an infobox, but now the image is rendered after the bottom of the infobox. Ibadibam ( talk) 21:33, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
an infobox is a good place to provide important summary information about a subject. I have a question, is the information in an infobox limited to a specific set of tags. I’m having trouble with the Salvation Army page where I edited the infobox text to include “sacred_text = Bible” but that edit was not visible in the finished page. What’s wrong?

|theology=[[Wesleyan]]
and |sacred_text=[[Bible]]
are called parameters, not tags; and every infobox template has a defined set of valid (recognised) parameters, which should be listed in the template's documentation. The article
The Salvation Army uses {{
Infobox Christian denomination}}
, and if you follow that link you will see that a large part of the page has a pale green background - this is the documentation, in which you will find |theology=
but not |sacred_text=
, which indicates that the former is recognised, but the latter is not. Instead, I see that |scripture=
is shown as a valid parameter: perhaps this would suit your needs. If not, and you feel that |sacred_text=
should be added as a recognised parameter, the best place to suggest it is at the talk page for the infobox template -

According to the Consistency between infoboxes section: A width of 22 ems (22em in CSS) is suggested... How does one check to see if an infobox complies with this?-- Gibson Flying V ( talk) 04:09, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
bodystyle = width: 25em
, so it is overriding the default. Thanks!

I am trying to learn how to make some edits to the Template:Infobox Province of China (PRC). I want to add the category "|HighestPoint =". Do you know anyone that edits infoboxes that can help me add this to the Province of China Infobox? I have never added a parameter to an infobox and don't want to simultaneously screw up the infoboxes of every province in China. Thanks for any help.
