If unused, the Databox behaves exactly as before. If used, they are called when invoking the <nowiki>{{Databox}}</nowiki> template. <u>'''Changes'''</u> * '''useImage=''' allows you to select which image to use (when there are multiple options) How to use: <nowiki>{{Databox|</nowiki>useImage=''paste the image filename here''}}<br> Example: <nowiki>{{Databox|</nowiki>useImage=example_filename.jpg}} * '''excludeProperties=''' create a Property+Value exclusion list unique to this article or page.
