 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox country. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |

This Infobox template is used to generate an infobox for the right-hand side of two specific types of article: on a country or territory, or on a geopolitical organisation. The syntax (format) of parameters and examples are detailed in the collapsed show/hide sections immediately below.
