Parameter Explanation name The name of the television film or miniseries. Use the full name of the film, and do not wikilink it. image An image relevant to the show. No wiki-markup required. image_size The infobox uses frameless which automatically resizes images to a default width of 220px unless the full size of the image is smaller. Logged in users can change the default width by clicking on "my preferences" and changing the thumbnail size under the "Appearance" tab (see Help:Preferences). This parameter should not normally be used. caption A caption explaining the image. An image with the title logo of the show does not need a caption. genre The genre of the show (examples listed at television program).

Do not use this field where the source material is ambiguous. narrator Insert the name(s) of the narrator(s). Separate multiple entries with a line break (<br />).
