Parameter notes
Common elements
- Most of the parameters are designed only to show in the infobox if something is entered. They can be left in the template and empty if the item does not pertain to the article or if the information is not known at the time the template is added.
- The infobox title is based on the article title, no parameter is involved in this.
- Placing images in the infobox uses two fields:
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
- Example: image= example.jpg
- imagesize which is the width the image will display at. The template will only accept a number here. If left empty or if a string (such as "225px") is entered, the image will default to 250px wide.
- If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below 250px.
- The parameter is capped at maximum width of 250. Entering values grater than this will result in the default setting being used.
- The image will also cap at 450 in height.
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
- The caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s).
- To keep in line with Wikipedia:Alternative text for images, alt needs to be updated with the "text alternative" of the image. This is not the same as the caption. It should also be kept short, but needs to be descriptive of the image.
