This template is not for listing the current government members of a cabinet or government. For such a template, see {{Infobox government cabinet}}. This box is for pages on the structures of executive governments in some countries (parliamentary and semi-presidential system), and only on the structure. It should not be used for articles that use the wider meaning of the word government, i.e. all branches of government. It should only be used for executive governments. It should not be used for presidential systems. For presidential systems use {{Infobox presidential government}}.
