Use this template to display a "stack" of one or more right-floated infoboxes on a page.
To link to this stack use #infobox-stack.

Parameters
| Parameter name | Required? | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Anonymous parameter 1 |
Yes | (n/a) | First infobox template call; use that template's header parameter to show a heading at the top (see explanation below).
|
Anonymous parameter 2 |
No | (n/a) | Second infobox template call. |
Anonymous parameter 3 |
No | (n/a) | And so forth. There can be up to 10. |
Note that while this template itself understands only anonymous parameters, the various infobox templates (listed below) that are designed to be called inside of an {{InfoBox stack}} understand various named parameters (including header), as explained in their documentation.
Typically only the first infobox template in a stack will use a header parameter to display a heading. Occasionally there may be need for a second header midway through the stack; see the usage examples below for details.
Usage
{{InfoBox stack
| {{InfoBox 1}}
| {{InfoBox 2}}
...
}}
See the template's testcases:
Correct
Typical usage with one anonymous parameter: one specialized infobox with header
↑ Note that because the
header parameter is inside the call to {{InfoBox homepage}}, it is not "seen" by {{InfoBox stack}} (which doesn't know anything about headers).
Typical usage with multiple anonymous parameters: multiple specialized infoboxes with one header
Less common: showing multiple predetermined headings (multiple anonymous parameters)
Wiki code
{{InfoBox stack
| {{InfoBox homepage|http://www.samba.org|header=true}}
| {{InfoBox wikipedia|Samba (software)}}
| {{InfoBox todo|Write a guide|header=true}}
}}
Main version
Sandbox version
↑ The second heading must be different from the first (otherwise why show it?), thus the infobox containing the second
header parameter must be of a different type than the first. The types of infobox templates and the headings they provide are listed below.
Rarely needed: including a custom heading using {{InfoBox header}} (multiple anonymous parameters)
Wiki code
{{InfoBox stack
| {{InfoBox homepage|http://www.samba.org|header=true}}
| {{InfoBox wikipedia|Samba (software)}}
| {{InfoBox header|Custom heading}}
| {{InfoBox|info=Something new}}
}}
Main version
Sandbox version
↑ The generic templates {{InfoBox header}} and {{InfoBox}} can be used to create a customized heading and infobox inside a stack, as shown here — but if something like this seems necessary in an article (in the main namespace), it probably means that a new specialized {{InfoBox something}} template should be created instead. (In fact, all the existing specialized infobox templates are implemented using calls to these two generic templates.)
Generic infobox with generic heading (one anonymous parameter)
Wiki code
{{InfoBox stack
| {{InfoBox|info=An infobox|header=Heading text}}
}}
Main version
Heading text
An infobox
Sandbox version
Heading text
An infobox
↑ Note that a
header parameter inside a call to {{InfoBox}} is used to specify the complete code that generates the heading (i.e., plain text input will not formatted in any special way). See that template's documentation for more information.
Generic infobox with standard heading (one anonymous parameter)
Wiki code
{{InfoBox stack
| {{InfoBox|info=An infobox| header={{InfoBox header|Heading text}} }}
}}
Main version
Heading text
An infobox
Sandbox version
Heading text
An infobox
↑ Here the
header parameter (in the {{InfoBox}} call) gets its value from the output of {{InfoBox header}}, which marks up its input in a standard way that fits in with the overall color scheme of this wiki. This is how header should be implemented on any new special infobox that gets created.

See also[edit]
The templates below are implemented using {{InfoBox}}. They should also appear in Category:InfoBox templates, which may be more complete than this list.
These templates should be used within an {{InfoBox stack}}. Each should provide its own header parameter, but if necessary {{InfoBox header}} can be used.
Underlined text indicates the default heading provided by header=true for each type of template.
