Parameters

Link people only if they have articles. For most of the fields below, if there are multiple entries, separate them using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. When adding data to fields, do not use small text as this reduces the size of the text to below 85% of the page font size. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Text for more information.

Infobox television season parameters and basic guidelines

Parameter	Explanation
italic_title	Set to |italic_title=no if the title should not be italicized.
bg_colour	A Six-digit hex code used to colour header rows. Must include a hash symbol (#) before the code. e.g. #81a6e3. The contrast between background and foreground colors, if used, must meet the guidelines at WP:COLOR.
season_name	The name of the television season, defaults to the page name. Set this parameter to change the infobox title if it should not be the page name.
season_number series_number	The season number (The Xth season of this particular program), defaults to the page name. Set this parameter if the page name does not have the season number information. Typically, "series" is used for television series produced within the United Kingdom while "season" is used for American television series.
image	A suitable image relevant to the season. 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_size	Width of the image in pixels, excluding "px". If not specified the image width defaults to the value explained in |image_upright=. The size should not be set greater than 300px.
image_upright	Use of this parameter is preferred to using |image_size=, as it allows auto-sizing of images according to user preferences. By default the infobox image scales to upright=1.13 (which is 1.13 × 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_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 an image of the logo of the TV program does not need a caption.
native_name	Insert the native title using the {{Infobox name module}} template if it is different from the displayed title; please visit that template's page for full instructions. This parameter is for the native title only, i.e. it should not be used to add translated titles to the infobox. Example: {{Infobox name module|ta|பாசமலர்}} will display the Tamil native name in the infobox – "ta" is the ISO 639 code for Tamil.
starring	The season's starring cast. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the season.
module1	A module used to insert a nested infobox.
country	The TV program's country of origin. Do not use flag icons, as this places an unnecessary emphasis on nationality - see MOS:INFOBOXFLAG for a detailed rationale. Do not link to a country article, e.g., [[United States]], per WP:OVERLINK.
num_stories	The number of stories released. Relevant for Doctor Who seasons.
num_episodes	The number of episodes released in the season. This parameter should only be incremented when new episodes air. 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 TV program being cancelled.
network	The original network on which the season has appeared. Do not add foreign broadcasters here. Use links if articles are available.
first_aired released	The date the season 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. 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 date the season finished airing, using {{End date}}. e.g. {{End date|2012|5|17}} or {{End date|2012|5|17|df=y}}. While the season is airing, {{End date|present}} should be used.
prev_season prev_series	If one exists, this field should include a wikilink to the previous season in the series. This field should be left blank if 1) no season article exists or 2) any redirect for the season does not link to a specific section regarding the season. Only required if the previous season link cannot be automatically generated by the template using the |season_number= parameter (e.g. Road Rules: South Pacific).
next_season next_series	If one exists, this field should include a wikilink to the next season in the series. This field should be left blank if 1) no season article exists or 2) any redirect for the season does not link to a specific section regarding the season. Only required if the next season link cannot be automatically generated by the template using the |season_number= parameter (e.g. Road Rules: South Pacific).
episode_list	The name of the main episode list article for the series. If no article exists, this field should be left blank. Wikilinking is not required. The article name will be formatted and wikilinked automatically by the infobox. For example |episode_list=List of NCIS episodes will result in List of NCIS episodes.
The following fields are not for general use. Data will appear underneath a header titled "Additional information".
module	A module used to insert a nested infobox.
film_start	The date filming of the season commenced, using {{Start date}}. e.g. {{Start date|2011|1|5}}. Should include a reference if the date is not referenced in the article's prose.
film_end	The date filming of the season ended, using {{End date}}. e.g. {{End date|2011|3|31}}. Should include a reference if the date is not referenced in the article's prose. If |film_start= does not exist, |film_end= will not display.
website	The season's relevant website link. Use www.example.com, replacing "http://www.example.com" with the website's url.

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. {{#section:Template:Infobox Australian place/doc|image_upright}}
