The code to the left of this text should be copied and pasted to an article where it is needed. This template is designed for current seasons of Big Brother. For seasons that have finished, please use {{Big Brother endgame}}.

What is written after each "=" affects what is displayed on an article when it is viewed.

hmpage
By default, housemates' names automatically link to a section in the article that the template is used in. This can be changed by typing the name of another article here, without square brackets.
seriesname
The name of the Big Brother series should be typed here and linked to the relevant article, i.e. [[Big Brother (Australia)|Big Brother Australia]].
series
The number of the season should be put here, i.e. 2001, or Series 1 (2001).
previous
The title of the Wikipedia article of the preceding series.
next
The title of the Wikipedia article of the following series.
image
The season's logo should go here. The image name should be typed here, with Image:, but without square brackets or other image modifications, i.e. Image:BB06.JPG. Images are automatically sized to 137px.
imagebg
A background colour for the image can be defined here, but should only be used if the image has a solid background colour.

hmxx
This is where a housemate's name should be written. It is by default automatically linked to a section in the article that this template is used in, but this can be changed with hmpage.
hmxx-enter
The day that a housemate entered the Big Brother House should be here, written as Day x. If the housemate previously left and re-entered the House, it should be written as Day x<br />Day z or Days x/z.
hmxx-exit
The day that a housemate left the House should be written here as Day x. If the housemate previously left and re-entered the House, it should be written as Day x<br />Day z or Days x/z.
hmxx-veto
Power of Veto is a special competition used in Big Brother USA articles. To show that a housemate has acquired Power of Veto, [[Image:No_sign.svg|16px]] should be placed here. The image can be replaced with anything else, including text, but the size of the image is optimised for the column widths.
hmxx-stat
The current status of a housemate goes here.
  • nom - Up for eviction
  • evic - Evicted
  • walk - Voluntary Exit from the House before the season ended
  • eject - Involuntary left the House before the season ended, most likely due to being removed by Big Brother.
  • hoh - Head of Household (Should be used for the American, Philippines, and African versions only.)
  • three - The third colour, described below
  • five - The fifth colour, described below
  • none - The housemate is not affected by anything. It is imperative that something is in the -stat field, otherwise the box will appear as white.

legendnom
By default, this appears as "Up for Eviction" on an article. It is thought that this can be used for all seasons of Big Brother, but if it needs to be changed it can be by writing something here.
legendevic
By default, this appears as "Not in House".
legendwalk
This is for housemates that voluntary walked out of the House before the season ended.
legendeject
This is for housemates that involuntary left the House, most likely due to being removed by Big Brother.
legendhoh
Head of Household (Big Brother US and Pinoy Big Brother Only)
legend3
Can be used to specify a status not covered by any of the other statuses.
legend5
Can be used to specify a status not covered by any of the other statuses.
legendblank
This is a blank legend with no specific color. Used by the American version to identify the image used for the Power of Veto ().
