Infobox zone/doc

Infobox zone replaces the "Characteristics" section of most zone pages. Feel free to further develop it. It is only for use on main zone pages. For towns, camps, and/or non-zone cities use infobox town.

Please note that all fields should pertain to the World of Warcraft MMORPG, while screenshots may come from any official source. Population numbers should also no longer be inserted as they are no longer accurate since Cataclysm.
