Template:Infobox Template

Parameters

• title: An optional title to display at the top of the infobox (case sensitive, defaults to {{PAGENAME}})
• purpose: The purpose of the template; infobox, formatting, messagebox or website (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown", see the /purpose subpage)
• singletag: Whether or not the template should be called without parameters; yes, optional or no (case insensitive, defaults to "unspecified", see the /singletag subpage)
• multiline: Wthether or not the template occupies more than one line on a page; yes, optional or no (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown", see the /multiline subpage)
• gamerelated: Whether or not the template directly relates to any of the games; yes or no (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown", see the /gamerelated subpage)
• suppressible: Whether or not the template allows suppression of categorization; yes, recursively or no (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown", see the /suppressible subpage)
• choice: The type of choice this template offers; single, multiple or none (case insensitive, defaults to "unknown", see the /choice subpage)
• cat1: The category name and value used for categorization by the template, separated by exclamation mark (allows duplicates with increasing number, see the /categories subpage)
• var1: The name of a variable that is used by the template (allows duplicates with increasing number, see the /variables subpage)
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization of the template itself under all automatically chosen categories (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: The value of the Protected heading of this infobox is automatically set to the protection level of the page this template is used on, and cannot be specified manually, but honours categorization suppression.
