{{#invoke:Parameter names example|main}}
To use this template please add the following code to the top of the article.
Note: If you have no information for a certain parameter please just blank it rather than removing it so that other editors can see that it needs adding at a later stage
{{Infobox magazine | title = | logo = | logo_size = <!-- default is 180px --> | image_file = <!-- cover.jpg (omit the "file:" prefix) --> | image_size = <!-- default is 180px --> | image_alt = | image_caption = | editor = <!-- up to |editor6= --> | editor_title = <!-- up to |editor_title6= --> | previous_editor = | staff_writer = | photographer = | category = | frequency = | format = | circulation = | publisher = | paid_circulation = | unpaid_circulation = | circulation_year = | total_circulation = | founder = | founded = | firstdate = <!-- {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} --> | finaldate = <!-- {{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}} --> | finalnumber = | company = | country = | based = | language = | website = <!-- {{URL|example.com}} --> | issn = | eissn = | oclc = }}
If the magazine is defunct, include the finaldate and finalnumber parameters. If the magazine is still publishing, then these parameters should be omitted entirely:
| finaldate = | finalnumber =
If a breakdown into paid, unpaid and total circulation figures is desired, use the following lines instead of the circulation parameter:
| paid_circulation = | unpaid_circulation = | circulation_year = | total_circulation =
The company parameter should list the publishing company. The publisher parameter should be the named person who publishes the magazine.
The previous_editor parameter should include earlier, notable, editors. In particular, the founding editor (if different from current editor), to a reasonable maximum number.
If image_file is a .djvu and a particular page is desired, then use the image_page parameter:
| image_page =
If other editing positions are required (e.g. Senior Editor or Associate Editor), use the additional editor fields show below.
| editor2 = | editor_title2 = | editor3 = | editor_title3 = | editor4 = | editor_title4 = | editor5 = | editor_title5 = | editor6 = | editor_title6 =
