Template:Infobox television/doc

You can view and copy the source of this page:

Infobox television is used to create an infobox which summarizes the main information of a particular television or internet program and can also be used for television films.

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 Manual of Style/Accessibility for more information.

Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists
Template may be used with  and  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 for details.
