The infobox template

Infobox templates are a good way of providing a short summary of the article in question. Let's use what we have learnt above in conjunction with the template.

Ellowee
The game's mascot
Gender:	Female
Race:	Earth pony
Occupation:	Public Relations
Location:	Equestria
Quest(s):	Connection timed out
Voice Actor:	none

{{Infobox
|Box title = Ellowee
|image = Image:StaffIcon.png
|caption = The game's mascot
|header_text_color = FFFFFF
|text_color = 000000
|header_background_color = CA3E7A
|background_color = FDF0D3
|Row 1 title = Gender:
|Row 1 info = Female
|Row 2 title = Race:
|Row 2 info = [[Earth Pony|Earth pony]]
|Row 3 title = Occupation:
|Row 3 info = Public Relations
|Row 4 title = Location:
|Row 4 info = Equestria
|Row 5 title = Quest(s):
|Row 5 info = '''Connection timed out'''
|Row 6 title = Voice Actor:
|Row 6 info = ''none''}}
Read here for an explanation.
Use the {{clr}} template to have clean line breaks. Useful when you want your next line of text to be below an image or a template. Just type {{clr}}.

Here's a new line after using the {{clr}} template.

Sortable Tables

These are useful for categorizing things alphabetically or numerically.
Read here on how to use.
Basic example:

Sortable table

Automatically sorts by alphabet	Detects numbers, too	Date as well	Unsortable
d	20	2008-11-24	This
aa	8	2004-03-01	column
ab	6	1979-07-23	cannot
c	4	1492-12-08	be
e	0	1601-08-13	sorted.

{| class="wikitable sortable" border="1"
|+ Sortable table (Optional)
|-
! scope="col" | Automatically sorts by alphabet
! scope="col" | Detects numbers, too
! scope="col" | Date as well
! scope="col" class="unsortable" | Unsortable
|-
| d || 20 || 2008-11-24 || This
|-
| aa || 8 || 2004-03-01 || column
|-
| ab || 6 || 1979-07-23 || cannot
|-
| c || 4 || 1492-12-08 || be
|-
| e || 0 || 1601-08-13 || sorted.
