Information bar on right side of Wiki.

Hey, as some of you may know, I've been working on the GT5 sections of the guides, and I noticed something that we don't seem to have, and I was wondering if there was any way to use it or implement it.

I was planning to start a page listing the Aston Martin DB9 Coupe (Because it is included in GT5), and I was using this page to get the data on the car. If you look at that page, it has a information bar on the right side of the page listing all the facts of the car (this can be found on most wikipedia pages as well).

I was wondering A) Do we have those already? and if so, how to implement them, and B) if not, is it possible that they could be implemented? As I think it would make a great addition and make it easier to find information about not only the cars, but tracks, races and more.

From,
Chris.

I just checked out the Edit page of that DB9 entry and the information box is defined with the following block of "code":

I pasted that into our Wiki here and it showed up just fine (other than a broken image link, of course). Customizing that code for various pages of our Wiki (info for tracks, cars, and games) would be easy.

Thanks, it'll make everything more organized, but I was just making sure it'd work as it seems I tried it the other day and it didn't. I probably did something wrong though.

Chris.
