The [[Template:Ship Infobox|Ship Infobox Template]] is used on every ship page to give a quick run-down on the statistics and appearance of a ship. However, it is not that easy to become familiarized with it if you're new to using templates with parameters. Fortunately, this is an excellent place to learn how to use the Ship Infobox template; though before continuing to read this section, please click on the hyperlink to the template page and read the documentation there. When utilizing the template, try to enter the arguments to the template parameters in a manner similar to that on all other ship pages. That way, it will be easier for you and other editors to edit the template arguments later on if need be. See the source of the [[Andromeda]] for an example (from this point on, you should reference the Andromeda page if you need an example of something described on this page).
