Parameters

Link people only if they have articles. For most of the fields below, if there are multiple entries, separate them using साँचा:tl or साँचा:tl. When adding data to fields, do not use small text as this reduces the size of the text to below 85% of the page font size. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Text for more information.

Parameter	Explanation
italic_title	A "no" value will disable the automatic italicization of the article's name. This parameter should not be used most of the time.
name	The name of the television program, film or miniseries, defaults to the page name. Need not be used if the name is the same as the article title as the infobox handles this automatically. If set, use the full name and do not wikilink it.
image	A suitable image relevant to the show. The image does not need to be wikilinked and should exclude "File:" e.g. Example.png Typically the image will be the series' title card, although this is not mandated. Free content should be used where available.
image_size	Width of the image in pixels, excluding "px". If not specified the image width defaults to the value explained in साँचा:para. The size should not be set greater than 300px.
image_upright	Use of this parameter is preferred to using साँचा:para, as it allows auto-sizing of images according to user preferences. By default the infobox image scales to upright=1.13 (which is 1.13 × 220 px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences). The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 300px. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.
image_alt	Alt text, as required by MOS:ALT. It may include wikilinks.
caption	A caption explaining the image. An image of the title card including the title logo, or the logo only, of the show does not need a caption.
alt_name	An alternative name by which the television program is known.
native_name	Insert the native title using the साँचा:tl template if it is different from the displayed title; please visit that template's page for full instructions. This parameter is for the native title only, i.e. it should not be used to add translated titles to the infobox. Example: साँचा:nowrap will display the Tamil native name in the infobox – "ta" is the ISO 639 code for Tamil.
genre	The genre of the show. Examples listed at Film and television genres. Link if an article is available. Genres must be reliably sourced.
creator	The show's creator or creators. This should be used over साँचा:para if the show is based on original material i.e. Lost or Law & Order, unless a reliable source attributes a person with the title "creator".
based_on	Insert the title of the source material and the name(s) of the source material writer(s). Use साँचा:tl or similar formatting where possible. Use this field if a series is based on previously produced or published material, such as films, books, plays, articles, old screenplays etc, and is explicitly credited as such. Do not use this field where the source material is ambiguous or can not be reliably sourced. If a work was inspired by another, use साँचा:para.
inspired_by	Insert the title of the source material that inspired the series and the name(s) of the source material's writer(s). Use साँचा:tl or similar formatting where possible. Use this field if a series is inspired by previously produced or published material, such as films, books, plays, articles, old screenplays etc, and is explicitly credited as such. Do not use this field where the source material is ambiguous or can not be reliably sourced. If a work was based on another, use साँचा:para.
developer	The show's developer or developers. This should be used over साँचा:para if the show is based on non-original material i.e. The Walking Dead or Smallville, unless a reliable source attributes a person with the title साँचा:para.
writer	The show's writer or writers. Do not use if the show has many (5+) writers.
screenplay	Used for television films. Insert the name(s) of the screenplay writer(s). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if films divide writing credits between screenplay and story writers. In addition, link each writer to their appropriate article if possible
story	Used for television films. Insert the name(s) of the story writer(s). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if films divide writing credits between screenplay and story writers. In addition, link each writer to their appropriate article if possible.
director	The show's director.
creative_director	The show's creative director.
	The show's presenters or hosts. Presenters are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new presenters joined the show. Years or seasons should not be included.
starring	The show's starring cast. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the show. Character names, years, or seasons should not be included.
judges	If the show involves judges, list them here. Judges are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new judges joined the show. Years or seasons should not be included.
voices	Any voice artists used in the show. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the show. Character names, years, or seasons should not be included.
narrated	The show's credited narrator(s) (if applicable). Years or seasons should not be included.
theme_music_composer	The name of the composer of the show's theme music. For non-theme music composer, use साँचा:para.
music	The name of the composer of the show's music. For the theme music composer, use साँचा:para.
open_theme	The name of the opening theme for the show.
end_theme	The name of the ending theme for the show.
composer	The principal composer or composers providing incidental music for the show's episodes.
country	The show's country of origin. Do not use flag icons, as this places an unnecessary emphasis on nationality - see MOS:INFOBOXFLAG for a detailed rationale. Do not link to a country article, e.g., [[United States]], per WP:OVERLINK.
language	The original language or languages of the show. Do not link to a language article, e.g., [[English language|English]], per WP:OVERLINK.
	The number of seasons (US) or series (UK) produced. Use one or the other, not both. The parameter should only be incremented once the first episode of that season or series has aired, or if a reliable source confirms production has commenced. An inline citation is required if the total number of seasons produced is greater than the number aired.
num_episodes	The number of episodes released. This parameter should only be incremented when new episodes air. An inline citation is required if the total number of episodes produced is greater than the number aired, such as in the case of a show being cancelled.
list_episodes	If a Wikipedia "List of" article exists for the show's episodes, put its name here. Do not use a link (i.e. do not include [[ ]]).
Production-specific
executive_producer	The executive producer or producers of the show.
producer	The producer or producers of the show.
news_editor	This field should be used to indicate the senior reporter who oversees the writing of news and magazine video content for a current affairs/political show such as Newsnight.
location	Production location, i.e. where the show is/was primarliy shot. Leave blank if same as country of origin above.
cinematography	The director of cinematography or lead cameraman.
animator	The animator or animators of the show.
editor	The film editor(s).
camera	Either Single-camera or Multi-camera.
runtime	Episode duration. Should not include commercials and should be approximated, e.g. "22–26 minutes" for most half-hour shows.
company	The names of the production company or companies that funded/organized series production. Note: sub-contractors hired to perform production work, e.g. animation houses, special effects studios, post-production facilities etc. should not be included here, as this may create confusion about the nation(s) of origin. Instead, use sourced prose in the article's Production section to explain these details.
distributor	The names of the original distribution company or companies.
budget	Used for television films. The budget of the television film or miniseries.
Broadcast-specific
network	The original network(s) on which the show has appeared. Do not add foreign broadcasters here. Use links if articles are available.
picture_format	The video or film format in which the show is or was originally recorded or broadcast (Black and white, Film, 405-line, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i, 4K UHDTV). Do not use "SDTV" as it is ambiguous. Note that aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9 etc) are not a format and should not be included.
audio_format	The format in which the show's sound is broadcast (Monaural, Stereophonic, Surround).
first_run	The country or region where the show was first broadcast. Omit if the same country as country of origin above or if the show has only been broadcast in one country or region. Do not link to a corresponding article per WP:OVERLINK.
	Date the show first aired on its original network (first_aired), or was released on streaming media sites such as Netflix (released). Only insert the date after it has happened. The parameter is not restricted to a "premiere" date. In the event a program airs a full "preview" episode on TV in advance of a premiere, that date should be used instead. Use साँचा:tl (e.g. {{Start date|1981|2|26}}) so that the date is included in the template's hCalendar microformat, and is properly formatted according to a reader's Wikipedia date and time preferences. Add साँचा:mono if the article uses the dmy date format.
last_aired	The first air date of the show's last episode on its original network. Use "present" if the show is ongoing or renewed and साँचा:tl if the show is ended. Only insert the last episode's date after it has happened. In some cases the fate of a program might be uncertain, for example if there are no announcements that a show has been renewed. If such a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months, "present" can be changed to the date the last episode aired, using साँचा:tl. This does not imply the series has been cancelled, rather that the program "last aired" on that date. This is to prevent programs from being listed as "present" in perpetuity. In the event that a program resumes airing after a long hiatus, such as more than 12 months between episodes or cancellation and subsequent renewal, the date is simply replaced with "present" to reflect the "current" status of the program.
Chronological
preceded_by	If Show A was a predecessor of Show B, insert the name of Show A and production years − name in italics (linked if possible) followed by year-to-year in parentheses, e.g. ''[[That Ol' Show]]'' (1956–1957). This parameter should not be used to indicate a program that preceded another in a television lineup (i.e. the 8pm show vs the 8:30pm show), or to indicate what show replaced another in a specific time slot (ex: Temperatures Rising held the 8pm time slot before being replaced by Happy Days).
followed_by	If Show A was a successor of Show B, insert the name of Show A and production years (as for साँचा:para above). This parameter should not be used to indicate a program that followed another in a television lineup (i.e. the 8pm show vs the 8:30pm show), or to indicate what show replaced another in a specific time slot (ex: Temperatures Rising held the 8pm time slot before being replaced by Happy Days).
related	Related TV shows, i.e. remakes, spin-offs, adaptations for different audiences, etc. For example, The Office (British TV series) and The Office (American TV series); The Upper Hand and Who's the Boss?; etc.. Note that simply sharing crossover episodes does not make series related.

Deprecated parameters

The "External links" parameters (साँचा:para, साँचा:para, साँचा:para, and साँचा:para) were removed from the infobox in March 2022 (discussion). If the website is useful and is not already present in the article's External links section, it should be moved there.

Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists

Template साँचा:tlx may be used with साँचा:tlx and साँचा:tlx to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in the infobox (e.g. cast and other credits lists), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Dates will only be included if you use साँचा:tl or साँचा:tl (use the former for single dates; but do not use any of these if the date is before 1583 CE).

URLs will only be included if you use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

Classes

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

• attendee
• contact
• description
• dtend
• dtstart
• location
• organiser
• summary
• url
