To the right is an example of a Wikipedia-style country info box. Below is what it looks like raw. An explanation will be given below. Don't panic!

This looks quite complex, but really isn't as bad as it looks. The first line (up to font-size: 95%;") must be kept unaltered, in order to preserve uniformity.

The second line gives the header to the table. It is suggested that the last line of the header is the English translation of the name, and the first is the name in the native language(s). If a different script is used, that should be at the very top (for an example, see Croatia (Failure of America). Each heading begins with  and ends with  . The  tag separates multiple headings.

Each data point is in the following form:

|Category || Data

And each point is seperated by



Finally, the table must end with |}}

To make a cell that covers two columns (as in, for example, the flag, motto, and world maps in Wikipedia's country entries - see Luxembourg for an example), use a line like this:

|colspan=2 align=center |

This will add the image file (in this case, our wiki's logo) to the table.

Leader Infobox
This example is for, Consul of in the Federalist Failure timeline. Obviously, specific entries and information would vary depending on the individual.

Ruler Infobox
This is an infobox for a monarch. For a man, add the line |male=yes, for a woman, add |female=yes.

You have to enter values for country and timeline.

If you want to show the father and/or the mother of the ruler, you also have to add the line |parents=yes. If you want to show at least one grandparent of the ruler, you also have to add the line |grandparents=yes.
