Template:Infobox Awards/doc

	Example

Infobox Awards may be used as a supplement below an existing infobox to list awards and honors that may not normally be included. It may also be used in an article about awards or honors to list related awards or honors. Or, it may be used to group any general images or text. In the past, tables were used to perform such grouping. Tables require repetitive wikicode and may be esoteric to some editors. They may also require the use of breaks to keep them in proper alignment. {{Infobox Awards}} has been developed to resolve these issues and to ease the inclusion of images in this manner. The box on the right is coded as:

{{Infobox Awards

| title =

| halign = center

| award1 = [[Image:Example.png|90px]][[Image:Example.png|90px]]

| award2 = Example

}}

Usage

This infobox may be added by copy-pasting the template as shown below into an article.

{{Infobox Awards
|title     = 
|halign    = 
|box_width = 
|award1    = 
|award2    = 
|award3    = 
|award4    = 
|award5    = 
|award6    = 
|award7    = 
|award8    = 
|award9    = 
|award10   = 
|award11   = 
|award12   = 
}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

Parameter	Explanation
title	Insert the desired title; this will be centered and bolded; for no title, leave blank
halign	Set the horizontal alignment for the award fields to left, center or right; if this field is not included or blank, it defaults to left
box_width	Set width of infobox using em, px or %; if this field is not included, the default is 18em; if included with no parameter, the box is the width of the longest line
	It may be desirable to match the width of another infobox in the article. Since infobox widths vary, some common boxes are: 215px: {{Infobox Person}} 23em: {{Infobox Company}} 315px: infoboxes based on {{WPMILHIST Infobox style}} such as {{Infobox Military Person}}
award1	Name of the award or honor
through
award12	Name of the award or honor

Issues

When a number of infoboxes are stacked up, the section [edit] links may get bunched up. See WP:BUNCH for a resolution.
