when using a infobox within another template, like [[Template:VehicleInfobox]], you can specify the name of each row to something related to related usage of the template. In our example above, We are expecting this particular infobox to be used on Fruit related pages; therefore we told the template we are inheriting that we want the 5 fields to be called: Colors, Taste, Baked, Salted and "related info". | |||
Now, being we are using multiple layers of embedding templates, we want to make sure the end user's information is pass through our template and up to the core infobox template that actaully uses the infomation. This is where the parameters with a varible on the end come in handy. They look like <nowiki>| Info4details = {{{salted|}}}</nowiki> and if the end user specifies a value for "salted", we take it and pass it along as "Info4details". Neat, isn't it? | |||
