}}Parameters
Please see WikiProject Books and/or WikiProject Novels for standards on presenting names and other data.
- Parameters can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
- Wikilinks can be used in any of the infobox fields.
- name
- Book name or title. If parameter is left blank, name will be inherited from the Wikipedia page where this infobox is invoked.
- image
- Image (prefer 1st edition where permitted), use bare filename:
Example.jpg
For a title page from a Commons PDF, specify the page and width in the syntax:[[File:Lissagaray - Histoire de la Commune de 1871, MS.djvu|page=9|220px]] - image_size
- Uses image size set by user (default 220px). Use a number to override image size. However, this is discouraged per WP:THUMBSIZE.
- border
- Inserting
yeshere will result in a 1px grey border around the image, useful for instances where the image and the background will blend together (such as a book cover with a white background). If no border is necessary, this parameter should not be used. Note: does not apply if|image=uses the full image syntax (e.g.[[File:Example.jpg]]); in this case add the border in|image=(e.g.[[File:Example.jpg|border=yes]]) - caption
- Image caption (should describe the edition used)
- alt
- Image alternate text
- editor/editors
- Editor(s) only when they are the primary contributor, e.g. dictionaries, encyclopedias, anthologies
- author/authors
- Author(s)
- audio_read_by
- For audiobooks.
- title_orig
- Original title, if not in English; required if using
|native_external_url=or|native_wikisource= - orig_lang_code
- ISO 639 code of original language, required if using
|title_orig=,|native_wikisource=or|native_external_url= - working_title
- Working title, when different from published title
- translator
- Translator(s), if original not in English
- illustrator
- Illustrator (where used throughout and a major feature)
- cover_artist
- Cover artist, if any
- country
- Country of original publication
- language
- Language of original book. Do not link unless it is an unusual language.
- series
- Series (if any)
- release_number
- The "release number" of a book within the "series" (also would be called a "volume") - n.b. only relevant for an article where "series" is populated
- subject/subjects
- (for non-fiction) See index term and library classification
- genre/genres
- (for fiction) See literary genre. Use {{hlist}} for sorting multiple entries.
- set_in
- can be both time and place as setting. No need to create long lists. Use approximate dates/places if it is not clearly specified in the text.
- publisher
- Publisher of primary publication (prefer 1st edition); also
|publisher2=for additional publishers. - pub_date
- Date published (1st edition)
- english_pub_date
- Date first published in English if 1st edition is in another language.
- published
- Alternate parameter, using the following composite format: year (publisher) (language, when originally written in a foreign language); use {{plainlist}} when there is more than one notable edition
- Note:
|published=is acceptable, but no longer preferred to|publisher=and|pub_date=, which have been restored to common usage. No consensus has yet been reached regarding the migration of infoboxes to a common format, and none should be "fixed" one way or the other en masse until such consensus is reached. - media_type
- Print / Digital (then binding types etc., if relevant)
- pages
- Pages (prefer 1st edition, specify edition as needed)
- award/awards
- Awards(s) the book has won
- isbn
- (prefer ISBN of 1st edition). Format: "1-234-56789-0" (10-digit) or "978-1-234-56789-0" (13-digit). If the book has a standard book number (9 digits) add a "0" to the beginning of the number. Do not change a 10-digit to a 13-digit ISBN by prefixing a "978" by hand, because the last digit is a calculated check digit, which will be wrong. Similarly, do not remove "978-" from a 13-digit ISBN to make a 10-digit ISBN. If the book was published before the use of ISBN, do not include this parameter. If the 13-digit number you have does not start with "978", "979-10", or "979-11", then it is not an ISBN and should not be used in this parameter. Change spaces in the ISBN to hyphens. The rules for hyphenating an ISBN are complex (currently 29 pages). Do not add spaces or hyphens to an unformatted ISBN which are likely to be wrong if you are guessing. However the "978" prefix of a 13-digit ISBN is always separated by a hyphen and the check digit – the last character – is always separated by a hyphen. The last character of a 10-character ISBN may be an "X". In such case, use the uppercase "X" character, not any alternate character. Do not put "ISBN" in front of the number. ISBNs are checked for validity; articles with invalid ISBNs are placed in Category:Pages with ISBN errors and display a red error message.
- isbn_note
- May be used to add a note following the ISBN.
- oclc
- OCLC number (prefer 1st edition), use when book has no ISBN
- dewey
- Dewey Decimal Classification
- congress
- Library of Congress Classification (not to be confused with Library of Congress Control Number)
- preceded_by
- Title of prior book in series; will be italicised by template code (do not use to connect separate books chronologically)
- preceded_by_quotation_marks
- Title of prior work in series if a minor work; will be surrounded with quotation marks by template code (do not use to connect separate books chronologically)
- followed_by
- Title of subsequent book in a series or a sequel; will be italicised by template code (do not use to connect separate books chronologically)
- followed_by_quotation_marks
- Title of subsequent work in a series or a sequel if a minor work; will be surrounded with quotation marks by template code (do not use to connect separate books chronologically)
- native_wikisource
- Page name of original text at a foreign language Wikisource (if applicable); use
|orig_lang_code=to specify which Wikisource. Tracked in Category:Articles that link to foreign-language Wikisources - native_external_url
- URL to a site hosting the original text when in a foreign language, and in the public domain but not yet on Wikisource. Non-commercial, open and accessible sites should be used in preference, sites which rip the text from other sites should be avoided, and illegal content is never to be linked to
- native_external_host
- The name of the website linked to by
|native_external_url=, e.g. Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive. Should be wikilinked if possible - wikisource
- Title of work if in the public domain and hosted at English Wikisource:. Tracked in Category:Articles that link to Wikisource
- external_url
- URL to a site hosting the text in English (whether the original or a translation), when in the public domain but not yet on Wikisource. Non-commercial, open and accessible sites should be used in preference, sites which rip the text from other sites should be avoided, and illegal content is never to be linked to
- external_host
- The name of the website linked to by
|external_url=, e.g. Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive. Should be wikilinked if possible - exclude_cover
- This template will place articles with this infobox where no image has been specified into the category Books with missing cover; where this is not desired, e.g because the cover is shown elsewhere in the article, this parameter should be set to
|exclude_cover=yes. - website
- for the publisher's or author's website about the book.
