Note: In the following, plurals such as "developers", "publishers", "artists", etc do not exclude the singular (i.e. "artists", for example, implies "artist or artists"). Similarly, with the credit fields, individual development tasks for one field (e.g. which artists designed characters and which designed concept art; or which writers created story lines and which wrote scripts) should not be mentioned in the infobox but in the article text instead. Individual tasks should be generally kept to prose and the field should only list key people. For example, the distinction between story and script writers of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is mentioned in the article's development section.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
collapsible | no | Set =yes to make the box collapsible. |
fetchwikidata | ALL | If you don't want all values to be fetched from wikidata, specify their property names here (see Module:WikidataIB for more details) |
suppressfields | If you want to exclude some Wikidata values, specify their property names here (see Module:WikidataIB for more details) | |
onlysourced | no | Set to yes if you only want to fetch values from Wikidata that have references (see Module:WikidataIB for more details) |
qid | Set to the Wikidata QID of the entry that you want to retrieve info from, if it is not the page that the template is being used on | |
refs | no | set to yes if you want to fetch references from Wikidata (displayed inline and in the refs section) |
noicon | no | when set to no, a small pen icon will be shown next to items populated from Wikidata, which can be used to edit the value. If set to yes, the pen icons will be hidden, and instead a single link stating "Edit on Wikidata" will display at the bottom of the Infobox. |
state | Determines the initial collapsed state of the infobox. Set =collapsed to put the box in collapsed state initially. Set =expanded to put the box in expanded state initially. Set =autocollapse to have the box's initial collapsed state be determined automatically based on the number of other templates in the article that also have the "collapsible" attribute. (Has no effect if collapsible is not used.) | |
title | The full name of the game including punctuation and style (e.g., "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" instead of "Super Mario RPG" or "Legend of the Seven Stars"). Do not wikilink the name of the game. | |
| तस्वीर (P18) | The ideal image is an English-language cover or, in the case of an arcade game, a promotional flier. Secondarily, use a logo or foreign-language cover. When cover designs differ between regions, use the cover from the region associated with the game's first English language release, though do not change another English-language version that has been uploaded first. Use art without platform decals, such as PC cover art, where possible. Avoid screenshots (per consensus), and multiple images (per WP:FUC #3). Also see the WPVG image guideline.
|
alt | Alternative text – A short descriptive text associated with an image that serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image. Useful in situations where the image is not available to the reader, e.g If they are using a screen reader due to a visual impairment. See WP:ALT for information about how to write good Alternative text. | |
caption | (P2096) | A short description of the image. Is it a flyer, a game cover, or something else? (See above for what an image should consist of.) This is used as the alternate text that will be displayed below the image. (Does not show if image is not used.) |
| विकासकर्ता (P178) | The popular name or names of the video game developers. This field is for the game development company (e.g., Nintendo) or, if confirmed by primary sources, the name of the team that developed the game (e.g., Nintendo EAD). The names can be wikilinked. Individual development tasks handled by different companies (e.g., scenario, programming) and ports should not be mentioned in the infobox but in the article text instead. |
| प्रकाशक (P123) | The popular name or names of the video game publishers. Add publishers for English-language regions and the developer's region. The names can be wikilinked. Use the {{Video game release}} template for regional publishers. If there are many publishers or if the list grows too long, use the {{Collapsible list}} template, fill the field title= with the primary publisher, and also include the field titlestyle=font-weight:normal;background:transparent;text-align:left;. |
series | (P179) | The video game series the game is associated with. Only use this field if there is an article for the series. Wikilink and italicize the names (such as ''[[Halo (series)|Halo]]''). |
| सफ्टवेयर इन्जिन (P408) | The game's engine. Only use this field for game engines with an established, independent article and wikilink its name (such as [[id Tech 3]]). Do not list middleware such as Havok, SpeedTree or Euphoria. |
| (P400) | The unabbreviated console or operating system family for which the game was specifically developed. With multi-platform games, order by chronology; if the game was released on multiple platforms on the same day, list that subset in alphabetical order. This field includes dedicated ports, but not games in emulation or services. E.g., we would include the platforms listed in green, but not include those red below:
Games that were developed for macOS should cover the operating system's name as it was at the time of the game's release:
|
| Add release dates according to the platforms field, for English-language regions and the developer's region. Use only general public release dates of full games, not mod, festival, preview, or early access dates. If sourced, use the game's exact release date ("अप्रिल २३, २०२४"). Use the {{Video game release}} template: {{Video game release|NA|अप्रिल २३, २०२४}}. If there are many release dates, enclose them all with the {{Collapsible list}} template and add the field titlestyle=font-weight:normal;background:transparent;text-align:left; followed by title= set as the earliest release date. Platforms can be abbreviated to fit in one line and should be listed as bolded section titles without colons, separated with commas (e.g., PC, 3DS, PS4). Only use WW to provide clarity where a game has various differing release dates including multiple regional release dates on some platforms and worldwide on other platforms. | |
genre | विधा (P136) | The gameplay genre or genres (such as first-person shooter, adventure, etc) the game is categorized in by its developers and publishers, or by reliable sources. Do not include broad gameplay mechanics that are frequently confused with genres, such as open world. This should not include thematic genres (like science fiction, horror, etc.) as video games are more difficult to categorize in such a way. Verifiable thematic genres can be mentioned in the article's body. |
modes | (P404) | Playing modes offered by the game. Currently, the only accepted values are single-player, multiplayer, or both. |
cabinet | (P2670) (Q1349717), qualifier उदाहरण (P31) | The type of cabinet the arcade game uses (e.g., upright, sit-down, cocktail, custom). |
display | (P2670) (Q1852898), qualifier उदाहरण (P31) | The characteristics of the arcade hardware's video output, such as graphical technique, display resolution and monitor orientation. Wiki: [[Raster graphics|Raster]], 256 x 224, horizontal orientation |
arcade system | (P2670) (Q631229), qualifier उदाहरण (P31) | The name of or names associated with the arcade game's system board hardware. In case of unique arcade hardware, omit this field and use those below. |
cpu | (P880) | The names and number of central processing units used by the arcade game's hardware, wikilinked if possible. |
sound | (P2670) (Q1418253), qualifier उदाहरण (P31) | The names and number of hardware [sound-processing units?] used by the arcade game's hardware, wikilinked if possible. |

|
producer | निर्माता (P162) | The popular names of the video game producers in overall charge of the production of the game. The names can be wikilinked.
|
designer | (P287) | The popular names of the video game designers, i.e. people who worked on the game's system. The names can be wikilinked. This field is often unfilled in modern high-budget development due to large team sizes and collaboration. Older games and indie games are more likely to use this position.
|
programmer | (P943) | The popular names of the video game programmers. The names can be wikilinked. This field is often unfilled in modern high-budget development due to large team sizes and collaboration. Older games and indie games are more likely to use this position.

|
writer | रचयीता (P50) | The popular names of the video game writers. The names can wikilinked. The writers should be listed in the order of their contribution, with those who wrote the game's scenarios/scripts listed before the game's story writers.
