Template:Horizontal infobox

A compact horizontal "at a glance" box that you fill in by hand. It uses the same design as the species-page boxes (Ecology, Diet, Life history), but every value comes from the template call, so no data pipeline is involved.

Usage

{{Horizontal infobox
|label       = Collecting at a glance
|subtitle    = Field notes, 2026 season
|theme       = experimental
|cell1_label = Best month
|cell1_value = August
|cell2_label = Method
|cell2_value = Sweep net
|cell3_label = Habitat
|cell3_value = [[Tallgrass prairie]]
}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`label`	Text in the coloured pill at the top left. Defaults to "Summary".
`species`	Optional. A species name, shown in italics next to the pill.
`subtitle`	Optional. Plain header text, for boxes that are not about a species. Ignored if `species` is set.
`theme`	Pill colour: `experimental` (violet, the default), `species` (green), `organization` (teal), `resource` (terracotta) or `geography` (grey).
`cell1_label`, `cell1_value` … `cell20_label`, `cell20_value`	The cells, in order. A cell appears only when both its label and value are filled in. Numbers may skip.

Notes

Values can contain links and other wikitext. To put a literal pipe character in a value, write {{!}}.
The box picks a balanced column layout from the number of cells (for example, 5 cells lay out as 3 + 2).
