We call pretty much all electric devices and big or small power tools "machines" in this wiki. Their pages should contain this InfoBox!

Documentation

To use this template, simply copy this code into your page and enter the relevant parameters:

{{MachineInfoBox
|machine name=
|image=
|synonyms=
|type=
|material=
|location=
|access=
|status=
|firmware=
|software=
|manual=
|tutors=
|used with=
|similar=
}}

Most fields will only be shown when used, so the box can be more or less detailed. Make frequent use of the "Show preview" button and it should be clear.

For example, entering the following leads to the box on the right:

{{MachineInfoBox
|machine name= Example: 3D Printer
|image=Prusa i3 MK2S.JPG
|access=upon introduction
|status=working
|type=[[CNC]] (additive manufacturing)
|location=[[3D Printer Farm|3D printer farm]]
|material=[[3D Printing Materials|1.75 mm filament]]
|used with=
|firmware=[[Marlin]]
|software=[[Cura]]
|tutors=[[User:Mitja|Mitja]], [[User:Lukas|Lukas]]

}}

Advanced Users (SMW)

There is a "hidden" parameter in this template that's not in the copy template: extra-image.

You can use it when you don't want the InfoBox to set a "Has image::" value (as image automatically does). That's useful on pretty much every page with multiple InfoBoxes so there is just one "main" image to represent the page in galleries.

To disable the default picture (gears) in such a case, the best solution Lukas has found so far is entering {{!}} for a barely visible empty field. Questions, feedback and further improvements are welcome!

Bugs/Future Development

• "smart" behavior like color change according to status would be nice
