Graphs
- {{Bar chart}} 4 data series (columns) 25 values
- {{Bar box}}, shows bar chart with a text column after the bars or bar-pairs uses {{bar percent}} and {{bar pixel}}
- {{Bartable}} adds a composition bar within a wikitable
- {{Composition bar}} for 1 data item between 0 and 100
- {{Pie chart}}, shows upto 15 pie wedges in a circular pie chart
- {{Brick chart}}, 9 blocks- shows brick segments in a rectangular "pie chart"- useful for seats in a council
- {{Vertical bar chart}} 20 bars- with legend (does not meet accessibility guidelines due to the lack of alternative text)
- {{Line chart}} 10 data series- 25 values
Example
The following code:
{{Graph:Chart|type=line
|width=500
|height=350
|showSymbols=yes|yAxisMin=1000|yAxisMax=3000
|colors=red,blue,green
|yGrid =
|x=Val. 1,Val. 2,Val. 3,Val. 4,Val. 5,Val. 6,Val. 7,Val. 8,Val. 9,Val. 10
| y1 = ,2200,2400,2500,2600,2500
| y2 = 1400,2000,1600,1800,2400,2400,2500,2000,1600,1800
| y3 = 1800,,,2000,1600,1800,2400,,2400
}}
{{legend|red|Series 1}}
{{legend|blue|Series 2}}
{{legend|green|series 3}}

Images and maps
Easy method to add a map to the infobox of an article is to use this code.
| module = {{OSM Location map
| float = centre
| width = 250
| coord = {{coord}} <!-- Map centred -->
| mark-coord = {{coord}} <!-- Marking the school-->
| label = Hundred of Hoo Academy
| label-pos = bottom <!-- top, bottom, right or left -->
| zoom = 12 <!-- usually 10, 11 or 12-->
}}
To add a map of any point, we must define the centre of the map, then say where to place the marker. This was done automatically in the example above
{{OSM Location map
| float = left
| width = 250
| coord = {{coord|51.41872|0.53518}} <!-- Centred -->
| mark-coord = {{coord|51.42172|0.55018}}
| label = Hundred of Hoo Academy
| label-pos = bottom
| zoom = 12}} <!-- marking the school-->
- Chloropleth

- A map with a complex caption
[[File:Schengen Area participation.svg|thumb|{{legend|#0088cc|EU member states participating}}
{{legend|#ffff00|EU member states not participating but obliged to join}}
{{legend|#ff6666|EU member states with an opt-out}}
{{legend|#7CFC00|non-EU member states participating}}
{{legend|#FFA500|non-EU member states de facto participating}}
{{legend|#4B0082|non-EU member states with an open border}}
]]
This map is a chloropleth meaning it displays the data relating to an area by means of a colour. It is best to use ColorBrewer to choose the colours needed.
