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. |
title | Insert the full name of the franchise, if necessary. If this parameter is not used, the article title will automatically appear in the infobox's header. |
image | Insert the file name of an image representing the franchise. |
image_upright | 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.

Calculating "image_upright"
The image_upright
parameter, and image2_upright
and logo_upright
where applicable, is/are provided so as to facilitate the use of scalable images in this infobox, in accordance with the instructions at WP:IMAGESIZE, which advises against the use of "px" (for example: thumb|300px
), as this forces a fixed image width.
Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.
