Help:Infobox

An infobox is a fixed-format table (often with 2 columns) to be added to the top right-hand corner of article pages. An infobox shows a summary of some common data that the articles share and sometimes to improve inter-page navigation to other article pages. The generalized infobox feature grew out of the original taxoboxes (taxonomy infoboxes) that editors developed to visually express the scientific classification of organisms.
