Template:Infobox vehicle

Infobox vehicle is WikiPartner's standard infobox for notable cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, vans, and other road-vehicle models and model families.

All parameters are optional. Add only information supported by reliable sources. Empty fields are automatically hidden.

Adding this template to an article also generates WikiPartner Vehicle structured data automatically. Supported vehicle types may use more specific Schema.org types such as Car, Motorcycle, BusOrCoach, or MotorizedBicycle.

This template is intended mainly for vehicle models and model families, not individual used vehicles. VINs, odometer readings, ownership history, registration records, sale prices, and similar vehicle-specific commercial data should normally not be included.

Vehicle types

Use a clear value in vehicle_type.

WikiPartner maps these values to specific Schema.org types:

  • CarCar
  • AutomobileCar
  • MotorcycleMotorcycle
  • MotorbikeMotorcycle
  • BusBusOrCoach
  • CoachBusOrCoach
  • Bus or coachBusOrCoach
  • Motorized bicycleMotorizedBicycle

Other values such as Pickup truck, Van, Truck, or Utility vehicle use the general Schema.org Vehicle type while preserving the vehicle category.
