The Medal infobox series of templates allow editors to list an athlete or sportsperson's major medals at the top of their respective biography article, alongside the lead section.
 | Hetta er ein dokumentatión undirsíða til Fyrimynd:MedalTableTop. Hon inniheldur kunning um nýtsluna, bólkar og um annað innihald, ið ikki er við í uppruna fyrimynd síðuni. |
The medal infobox consists of two templates:
- {{MedalTableTop}} – for starting the table (image optional)
- {{Medal}} – for the several elements within the table
A further template ({{MedalBox}}) is used for listing medals in the middle of the main article text.

- Basic usage
- {{MedalTableTop|image=|imagesize=|alt=|caption=|name=|sport=|country_code=|medals=}}
- image This give you the option to place a headline image in the infobox. Use just the file name and extension, excluding the namespace prefix, for example: MyImage.jpg not File:MyImage.jpg.
- imagesize This adjusts the size of the image and must consist of a number followed by "px" (e.g. 150px). The default is 100px. Sizes over 200px are no recommended for typical usage.
- alt This provides a description of the image for accessibility users or those using weak connections
- caption This adds a short description to describe the image. Try to be brief, using just a few words.
- name This option adjusts the title that appears at the top of the box. This should typically be the athlete's common name. By default it will display the article title without the disambiguator, for example on Michael Johnson (sprinter) "Michael Johnson" will appear by default. To deactivate the title enter no in the field.
- header This optional field can be used to change the text in the opening "Medal record" section. This is useful when the template appears in a section of an article. See Michael Phelps for a working example.
- sport This option includes the athlete's sport (e.g. Men's swimming) in the first line of the medal record. This replaces the need for {{Medal|Sport}} when an athlete has medalled in only one sport. In cases where an athlete has competed in multiple sports, it is still possible to use the {{Medal|Sport}} template usage to list the different sports.
- country_code This option uses the country code (e.g. USA = United States, CHN = China, GBR2 = Great Britain) to generate the country that the athlete represents in the second line of the medal record. This replaces the need for {{Medal|Country}} when an athlete has competed for only one country. In cases where an athlete has represented multiple countries, it is still possible to use the {{Medal|Country}} template usage to list the different countries.
- medals This is the only compulsory field as this is used to place medals and descriptions within the infobox through the {{Medal}} template. To work correctly it must be the last field in the main template.

Here is a basic demonstration of the MedalBox template usage:
{{MedalBox|title=Altjóða heiðursmerki|sport=Men's [[ice hockey]]|country={{ih|CAN}}|medals=
{{Medal|Competition|[[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|World Junior Championships]]}}
{{Medal|Gold|[[2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2005 Grand Forks]]|}}
{{Medal|Silver|[[2004 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2004 Helsinki]]|}}
{{Medal|Competition|[[IIHF World U18 Championships|World Junior U18 Championships]]}}
{{Medal|Gold|[[2003 IIHF World U18 Championships|2003 Yaroslavl]]|}}
{{Medal|Competition|[[Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament|Eight Nations Cup]]}}
{{Medal|Gold|[[2002 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament|2002 Slovakia]]|}}
}}
