			== How to Redesign Existing Infoboxes ==
			'''NOTICE:''' Be very careful when redesigning existing infoboxes. All of the articles that are using that infobox will NOT automatically update themselves. If you remove a bunch of options or completely change the infobox's layout, all of the pages that use the infobox will appear broken until you update them yourself.
