}}

Sandbox version

↑ This gives you a preformatted heading that matches the color scheme of this wiki. The value of id can be either plain (or formatted) text or a small image. Note that either type of header (with or without {{InfoBox header}}) can be used with either icon or id.)

Incorrect

Called in isolation with info parameter, not inside of {{InfoBox stack}} (Large box, not right-floated)

Wiki code

{{InfoBox|info=Foo}}

Main version

Foo

↑ This would not be an error if this template call appeared on a page in the Template: namespace to define a special kind of infobox template — say, "Template:InfoBox foo". This is because {{InfoBox foo}} would need to be called inside an {{InfoBox stack}}.
