Parameters

Note: Do not link to an article more than once in the infobox. All parameters are optional. See also MOS:FILM. For full details, see the TemplateData section below.

It is recommended to list multiple works of a medium (e.g. films) using {{Plain list}}, as the infobox will look cleaner without bullets.

Parameter Explanation
color or colour Background color for header bars (default color is lavender). The text color is automatically computed. Must meet AAA compliance standards outlines on WP:COLOR.

By default the infobox image scales to upright=1.13, (which is 1.13 x 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.
