Attributes

Link people 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 show's name.
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 DVD cover art, although this is not mandated. Free content should be used where available.
image_size	Width of the image in pixels, excluding "px". If not specified the image width defaults to frameless (220px). The size should not be set greater than 300px.
image_alt	Alt text, as required by . It may include wikilinks
caption	A caption explaining the image. An image with the title logo of the show does not need a caption.

genre	The genre of the show. Examples listed at Film and television genres. Link if an article is available. Genres must be sourced.

based_on	The work(s) that the show is based on. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.

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 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 season parameter should only be incremented once the first episode of that season 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 episode 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 companies. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
distributor	The names of the distributor companies. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.
Broadcast-specific
channel or network	The original channel(s) or 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	Date the show first aired on its original channel or network. 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\|02\|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 airdate of the show's last episode on its original channel or 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).)
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).
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.)
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.)
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".
