[edit] 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.
`image_size`	The infobox automatically resizes images to a 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 />`). In addition, link each editor to his/her 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 country or countries that the film was produced in. Link each country to its appropriate article if possible.
`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. 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. Separate multiple entries with a line break (`<br />`).
`website`	Insert the plain URL only, not a hyperlink to the official website. The template rewrites the URL as a hyperlink. For example, http://thebraveone.warnerbros.com (The Brave One film official website URL), is rewritten as Official website.
`amg_id`	Insert Allmovie's identification number for the film. To do this: Search Allmovie for the film you want, and click on the correct link to go to that film's page. The page URL should look like http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=#:######, where "#:######" indicates a number. Copy only that number (be sure to keep the colon) and use it in the infobox. Example: for http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:346872 (the Allmovie page for The Brave One), copy 1:346872 and write `amg_id = 1:346872` in the infobox.
`imdb_id`	Insert the Internet Movie Database's identification number for the film. To do this: Search IMDb for the film you want, and click on the correct link to go to that film's page. The page URL should look like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number. Copy only that number (be sure to remove the "tt") and use it in the infobox. Example: for http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0476964/ (the IMDb page for The Brave One), copy 0476964 and write `imdb_id = 0476964` in the infobox.

[edit] Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only appear if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates).

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

"dtend"
"dtstart"
"location"
"summary"
"vevent"
