  • Parameter notes:
    • With the exception of name, do not delete a parameter - leave the field blank if there is nothing to enter. If the article name is the same as the the name to be used for the infobox, name can be removed.
    • For multiple items in one field, separate each with <br />. For example: creators=Stan Lee<br />Jack Kirby
    • The image field is setup use the file name only and with out braces. For example: image= example.jpg
    • The imagesize parameter is set up to only accept a numeric value. If left blank or if a sting (such as "225px") is entered, the image will default to 250px wide.
      • If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below 250px.
      • The parameter is capped at 250. Entering values grater than this will result in the default setting being used.
    • The caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the comic book and issue # if it is from a comic book, in the form Wolverine #17 (typed as ''Wolverine'' #17))
    • For the debut field, provide the first appearance of the organization as such. Example: Fantastic Four #3.
    • The creators field should list the creators of the team or group, not the individual members.
    • Type is the type of organization or business. Examples include: newspaper, manufacturing, computer software, government agency, law firm, etc. For teams of adventures, superheroes, and supervillains, leave this field blank.
    • Business, organisation, and organization are mutually exclusive logical functions. One of the three must be set if the group is not a "traditional" team as noted under type.
    • Owners are notable individual characters who currently own, or have owned, the business or characters who are, or have been, notable leaders within the organization.
    • Employees are the notable characters that have worked for the organization.
    • If the organization is a team of adventures, superheroes, and/or supervillains, owners and employees are replaced with members. These are characters that are, or have been, a part of the team.
    • For groups that have a list of members as either a subsection of the article or as a separate list article, use fullroster to link to there. In these cases restrict owners, employees, and members to key, core characters, if the fields are used at all.
    • Base should list a group's most significant bases, including the current one (where applicable). Limit this to three at most, however.
    • This template is designed to place the articles into the relevant "Fictional <group type>" categories.
      • Entering the appropriate type of organization at cat will place the article. Due to naming conventions for categories, the entry at cat must be lower case. A list of relevant categories can be found at Category:Fictional organizations (Note: Category:Fictional newspapers lists under Category:Fictional media).
      • Subcat can be used to enter a comic book publisher. In cases where "cat= team" is set, subcat places the category into the "<Publisher> teams". In all other cases, if subcat is set to either "DC Comics" or "Marvel Comics", the appropriate organizations category will be added, all other publishers will be ignored.
      • Hero and villain are mutually exclusive logical functions. If one is set, cat and subcat will place the article into the proper "superhero" or "supervillains" subcategory instead of "teams".
      • Sortkey is required for use with subcat. It can be changed for forcing a different sort in the category. This parameter will not recognize a leading space.
