Wikis have come with a Template:Infobox for as long as I can remember, so there should be one on your wiki. But you're not actually supposed to use it in articles: rather, you're supposed to use it to create your own infobox templates.

Using a bare "Template:Infobox" for everything is honestly quite a poor idea: rather, it's best to create more specific templates for things that you know are going to recur (example, on my Wolfenstein Wiki, I have a "Infobox Wolf3D level" and "Infobox Enemy".) The new Template:Infobox is designed to facilitate this. To make your own infobox templates:
 * 1) Hit "edit" on the Template:Infobox page
 * 2) Copy the wikitext to a new template, perhaps at Template:Infobox character or wherever is useful to you
 * 3) Change "First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth", "Fifth", "Sixth" to whatever is relevant to your wiki (for a character, perhaps "HP", "Location"...)

Then you should be able to use your new template. If you run into problems or can't figger it out, consult Help:Infoboxes or ask here again and I'll be glad to help.
