Parameters

Link people only if they have articles. Any data intended to be in small size characters should use {{Small|...}} instead of <small>...</small>. For most of the fields below, if there are multiple entries, separate them using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.

Parameter Explanation
show_name The name of the television program, film or miniseries. 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_upright Use of this parameter is preferred to using "image_size", as it allows autosizing of images according to user preferences. 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. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.
image_size Width of the image in pixels, excluding "px". If not specified the image width defaults to the value explained above in "image_upright". The size should not be set greater than 300px.
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.
show_name_2 "Also known as", i.e. other names by which the show is known. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
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 developer 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". Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
based_on Insert the title of the source material and the name(s) of the source material writer(s). Use this field in conjunction with screenplay and story where applicable (i.e. "Screen story") if films are based on previously produced or published material, such as books, plays, articles, old screenplays etc. Use {{based on}} or similar formatting where possible. Do not use this field where the source material is ambiguous.
developer The show's developer or developers. This should be used over creator 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 "developer". Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
writer The show's writer or writers. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Do not use if the show has many (5+) writers.
screenplay Used for television films. Insert the name(s) of the screenplay writer(s). Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. 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 his/her appropriate article if possible
story Used for television films. Insert the name(s) of the story writer(s). Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. 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 his/her appropriate article if possible.
director The show's director. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
creative_director The show's creative director. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
presenter The show's presenter or presenters. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Presenters are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new presenters joined the show. Years and/or seasons should not be included.
starring The show's star or stars. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the show. Years and/or seasons should not be included.
judges If the show involves judges, list them here, separated using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Judges are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new judges joined the show. Years and/or seasons should not be included.
voices Any voice artists used in the show. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the show. Years and/or seasons should not be included.
narrated The show's narrator or narrators (if applicable). Years and/or seasons should not be included.
theme_music_composer The name of the composer of the show's theme music.
opentheme The name of the opening theme for the show.
endtheme 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:FLAG 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.
num_seasons
or num_series
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 or when a reliable source can confirm that an episode has finished production. 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. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
producer The producer or producers of the show. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
editor Content editor or editors of a current affairs/political show such as Newsnight. Not film editors.
location Production location, i.e. where the show is/was shot. Leave blank if same as country of origin above.
cinematography The director of cinematography or lead cameraman.
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. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. 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 distributor companies. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
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 (480i), PAL (576i), SECAM (576i), HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i. Do not use "SDTV" as it is ambiguous.)
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.
first_aired or released 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. 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 {{Start date}} (e.g. {{Start date|1981|2|26}}) so that the date is included the template's hCalendar microformat, and is properly formatted according to a reader's Wikipedia date and time preferences. Add |df=y 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 {{End date}} 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 {{End date}}. 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.
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 preceded_by 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 (UK TV series) and The Office (US TV series); The Upper Hand and Who's the Boss?; etc.) Note that simply sharing crossover episodes does not make series related.
External links
website The show's official website (usually hosted by the network or production company). Only enter the URL; formatting is automatic. (Do not use {{URL}} in this parameter.) If the URL exists on Wikidata or is moved to Wikidata this whole parameter line needs to be removed or commented out.
website_title The name of the official website. If omitted, the default title is "Website".
production_website A secondary official website (usually hosted by the network or production company). Only enter the URL; formatting is automatic. (Do not use {{URL}} in this parameter.)
production_website_title The name of the production website. If omitted, the default title is "Production website".

Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists

Template {{nbsp}} may be used with {{wbr}} and {{nowrap}} 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.
