Templates

Leaf has created several templates for use on this wiki. A brief description of a few important ones are below: Infobox:

infobox|Company Name|Inventor|FileName|Caption|Location|Types of Machine|Founding Year|Fate w/Year|Common Rebrands|Affiliated companies|

Placing a set of 2 curly brackets {{ }} around the above, and replacing the information, will generate a nice right-aligned infobox like the one here:
