Country of Origin {{{country}}}
Manufacturer {{{manufacturer}}}
Status In Production
Number Built {{{number built}}}
Unit Cost {{{unit cost}}}

Usage

These usage notes will not be included in articles bearing this template.

This template is for airplanes. To use, first copy and paste the following into the aircraft's description page.

{{Infobox Aircraft Type
|type=
|national origin=
|manufacturer=
|status=
|number built=
|unit cost=
|updateday=
|updatemonth=
|updateyear=
|picture=
}}

Next, fill in each parameter with the aircraft's information, placing it between the equals sign and vertical bar/pipe ("|"). For the update fields, use the numeric day, month, and year without any leading zeros. For the 7th of January, 2006, for example, the fields would be:
updateday=7|
updatemonth=1|
updateyear=2006|


Troubleshooting the template

If it doesn't seem to be displaying correctly, first check the following things:

  • Make sure you have not accidentally deleted the | that separates each variable
  • Make sure there is an opening and closing tag for the template ({{ and }})
  • Make sure you used the number of the month instead of its name in the update field, and make sure you have no leading zeros (May is month 5, not 05), and that you used the 4-digit year (2006, not 06)

If you still can't get it to work after checking those things, leave a note on the wiki admin's talk page asking for help (don't forget to put something like "infobox help" in the edit summary) and he will be happy to give you a hand with it.
