This is a meta-template for infoboxes. In particular its good for Country infoboxes, but could be used for subject infoboxes as well. See the source of {{tl|New Jersey infobox}} to see an example of this template.
==Instructions on use==
If you want to make a new infobox, lets say for the imaginary province Atok, of some country.
#Make sure a category and portal for that region exists. It is also recommended, but not required that at last five articles have been written about that place
#Start a new template page - Template:<Place name>_infobox
#On that template page, put <code><nowiki>{{Country Infobox|<name of place>|image=<flag or map of place, no File: prefix>|nocat={{{nocat|}}}}}</nowiki></code>
##if you don't use a map for the image, follow instructions below to change the title of the image.
#Optionally follow the instructions below to put a flag, or the portal logo at the bottom.
#Follow instructions on [[Wikinews:Template messages/Infoboxes/Countries]] or [[Wikinews:Template messages/Infoboxes]], and add it to the appropriate place.
===Advanced usage===
The template also supports some other optional parameters. None of these are required.
*''addDate='' True or false. (controls if it adds date before news articles in DPL. defaults to true)
*''dplcount='' number of articles to list (default 5)
*''portalLogo='' File name of the portal logo. Needed for the bottom image link to portal. Don't include file: prefix. Often a flag instead of a portal logo. '''(This is really the only advanced thing that is useful)'''
*''portalLogo_width='' width of logo. defaults to 60x45px. Probably best to leave alone unless you have a reason
*''image_title='' Title for the main image. If '''you don't use a map, use this'''. defaults to: <tt>A map showing the location of [place name]</tt>.

Note: If you want to do something more complicated, its probably best to subst: this template to your new template page, and go from there.
