See [[:Category:Infoboxes]] to see all templates that generate infoboxes.{{clear}}

These templates can be used as the infobox's <code>Title</code>, producing the same result as using the infobox's <code>Link</code> parameters. Under such use, the <code>Link</code> parameters must not be used at the same time as using numlinks templates as the <code>Title</code>.
