Parameters

Note: Do not link to an article more than once in the infobox. All parameters are optional. See also MOS:FILM.

Parameter Explanation
name Insert the full common name of the film (defaults to {{PAGENAME}} if empty).
image Insert a relevant image for the film. Ideally this should be a film poster, but a DVD/VHS cover, screenshot, or other film-related image may also be used. Only use the actual file name, i.e. image = Forrest Gump poster.jpg.
image_size The infobox automatically resizes images to a default width of 200px. Use this parameter only if the image being used is smaller than 200px.
caption Insert image caption, which should describe the type of image used.
director Insert the name(s) of the director(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each director to his/her appropriate article if possible.
producer Insert the name(s) of the producer(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each producer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
writer Insert the name(s) of the writer(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each writer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
narrator Insert the name(s) of the narrator(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each narrator to his/her appropriate article if possible.
starring Insert the name(s) of the actor(s) who had major roles in the film. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each actor to his/her appropriate article if possible.
music Insert the name(s) of the composer(s) of original music. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each composer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
cinematography Insert the name(s) of the cinematographer(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each cinematographer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
editing Insert the name(s) of the editor(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). If a credit for an "additional editor" is shown, add the tag "(addl)". Link each editor to his/her article if possible.
studio Insert the company that produced the film. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each company to its appropriate article if possible.
distributor Insert the company name(s) of the distributor(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />). In addition, link each distributor to its appropriate article if possible.
released Insert only the most relevant release date(s) of the film (see WP:FilmRelease for a detailed guideline). If multiple entries are required, separate with line breaks (<br />).
runtime Insert an approximate time duration of the film in minutes.
country Insert the home country or countries of the film's main production companies. Link each country to its appropriate article if possible. Do not use flag icons, as this places an unnecessary emphasis on nationality; see MOS:FLAG for a detailed rationale.
language Insert the language primarily used in the film. Databases often give every language spoken within the film, even if they only reflect a few lines in the overall script. Only in rare cases of clearly bilingual or multilingual films, enter separate entries with a line break (<br />). In the case of a single language without any additional text, it will automatically link to the language article (and the film article will also be put automatically in the category concerned). In other cases, give the wikitext for the desired linked text.
budget Insert the approximate budget of the film.
gross Insert the gross revenue accrued by the film. This information is available for most pictures at Box Office Mojo. Worldwide gross is preferred.
preceded_by If the film is part of a series, insert the film(s) that preceded it in the series. Please note that per MOS:TITLE, film titles should always be italicized. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />).
followed_by If the film is part of a series, insert the film(s) that followed it in the series. Please note that per MOS:TITLE, film titles should always be italicized. Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />).
