Guide to Template:Infobox

The name of the brand, the way it is written on their legal page.

Default

{{PAGENAME}}

If the brand name contains an ampersand (&), this currently causes issues when updating the heading, so set this to no.

Default

yes

Example

no

The brand's main colour. Can be a HEX value (preferred), or a word.

Default

blue

Example

#0077c0

By default, the heading colour is white. If you're changing the box colour to a light colour, you'll need to change this to a darker one. Can be a HEX value (preferred), or a word. It can be tempting to use this and the colour box to try to accurately recreate the company's logo, but firstly you should be aware that two colours is rarely enough to do that, and secondly our much bigger concern must be that not everybody's eye sight is very good.

Default

white

Example

#000000

Some long pages may want a link to jump straight to the locations and reviews.

Default

false
