= WikiBoxes Extension =

This extension provides easy-to-use tags for creating infoboxes and navboxes.

== Infobox ==

Infoboxes display summary information in a box on the right side of an article.

=== Basic Usage ===
<pre>
<infobox title="Person Name" image="File:Photo.jpg" color="#336699">
|Born = January 1, 1990
|Occupation = Engineer
|Nationality = American
</infobox>
</pre>

=== Options ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description !! Default
|-
| title || Box title (displayed at top) || (required)
|-
| image || Image file (e.g., File:Example.jpg) || none
|-
| imagesize || Size of image || 250px
|-
| caption || Caption below image || none
|-
| color || Header background color || #b8860b (gold)
|-
| above || Subtitle below title || none
|-
| below || Footer text || none
|}

=== Section Headers ===
Use <code>== Header ==</code> inside the infobox to create section headers:
<pre>
<infobox title="Company">
|Founded = 2020
|CEO = John Smith
== Financial ==
|Revenue = $1M
|Employees = 50
</infobox>
</pre>

== Navbox ==

Navboxes display navigation links at the bottom of articles.

=== Basic Usage ===
<pre>
<navbox title="Related Articles" color="#ccf">
|group1 = People
|list1 = [[John Smith]] · [[Jane Doe]] · [[Bob Wilson]]
|group2 = Places
|list2 = [[New York]] · [[Los Angeles]] · [[Chicago]]
</navbox>
</pre>

=== Options ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Option !! Description !! Default
|-
| title || Box title || Navigation
|-
| color || Header/group background color || #ccf
|-
| textcolor || Text color for headers || #000
|-
| state || "expanded" or "collapsed" || expanded
|-
| above || Text above the lists || none
|-
| below || Text below the lists || none
|}

=== Tips ===
* Use <code>·</code> (middle dot) or <code>•</code> (bullet) to separate links in lists
* Number your groups and lists: group1/list1, group2/list2, etc.
* Lists without a matching group will span full width

== Examples ==

=== Person Infobox ===
<infobox title="John Smith" color="#2e7d32">
|Born = January 15, 1985
|Birthplace = New York, USA
|Occupation = Software Engineer
|Known for = Open source projects
</infobox>
