{{Lua|Module:Infobox|Module:InfoboxImage|Module:Location map|Module:Coordinates|Module:Check for unknown parameters}}

This infobox is for providing general information about a [[Church (building)|Christian church]], including its history, architecture and staff. To provide information solely about the [[Church architecture|architectural details]] of a [[Church (building)|church building]], use "{{tl|Infobox religious building}}".

Churches vary from small chapels to large cathedrals; from corrugated iron sheds to architectural masterpieces of international importance. This template has to be adaptable to the worship locations of all religious denominations and as a consequence, it has many parameters.  '''It is therefore important that editors exercise discretion in selecting an appropriate number of parameters'''. If the infobox for a particular church becomes excessive [[WP:BOLD]] applies and less significant parameters should be removed.

==Usage==
The full template for this infobox is set out below. Apart from the parameters indicated as mandatory and other instructions in the "Parameters" table below, all parameters are optional and may be left out to simplify the template. An example of the infobox in use is shown at the bottom of this page.
