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 {{Plainlist}}, 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. |

image

Use of this parameter 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.
