Parameters

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Infobox programming language in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Infobox programming language

An infobox for programming languages, scripting languages or computer programs directly related to software development that implement the aforementioned.

Template parameters[Edit template data]

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Title	title	Title of the software. If not specified the 'name' parameter or the PAGENAME are used. It should be plain text, do not include a wikilink, hyperlink or image in this parameter. Default PAGENAME	String	optional
Name	name	Name used if title not specified. This is also used internally in combination with Template:Latest stable software release/'name'. It should be plain text, do not include a wikilink, hyperlink or image in this parameter.	String	optional
Logo	logo	Filename for the image e.g. 'File:Monodevelop Logo.svg'	String	optional
Logo size	logo size logo_size	Size of the logo Default 64px	String	optional
Logo alternative text	logo alt logo_alt	Alternative text for the logo (used by the blind and when web browsers cannot or do not load the image)	String	optional
Logo caption	logo caption	Caption for the logo. Must only be used to provide anything far more important than 'This is the logo of X'. e.g. used for inserting {{ffdc}} or {{deletable image-caption}}.	String	optional
Collapsible?	collapsible	Whether this screenshot is hidden by default, set to 'yes' to place the screenshot in a collapsible section	String	optional
Screenshot	screenshot	File name for a screenshot of the subject of the infobox, e.g. 'File:Monodevelop-main-window.png' Default 300px	String	optional
Screenshot size	screenshot size screenshot_size	Size of screenshot	String	optional
Screenshot alternative text	screenshot alt screenshot_alt	Alternative text for the screenshot (used by the blind and when web browsers cannot or do not load the image)	String	optional
Screenshot caption	caption	Caption for the screenshot	String	optional
Paradigm	paradigm	Programming paradigms used, implemented or mandated	String	optional
Family	family	Name of the family or any other hyponymic entity, if applicable	String	optional
Initial release date	released year	The date in which version 1.0 (or closely-matching release) of the software product in question reaches its release to manufacturing (RTM) stage. In case the article is about a specific major release of a software product (for instance Internet Explorer 8 or Microsoft Office 2007), this field should contain the date in which that specific major release reached RTM stage. In case the software product is still in development and has not reached its RTM stage, please ignore this field; do not use this field to specify the release date of the first preview/test release of the software product; there is already another parameter for that use. The content of this field should look like the following: {{Start date and age|year|month|day}} In case the article uses DMY as date format, use this code instead: {{Start date and age|year|month|day|df=yes}} If unsure of which date format to use, then consult WP:MOSDATES.	String	optional
Designer	designer	Name of the designer. It can be either an individual or an organization/business.	String	optional
Developer	developer	Name of the current developer. It can be either an individual or an organization/business.	String	optional
Is discontinued?	discontinued	Whether this product is no longer being developed, thus changing the phrase 'Latest release' in the infobox to 'Final release'. For technical reasons, anything for this parameter has the same effect, be it 'yes', 'no' or anything else. To nullify the effect of this parameter, delete it.	String	optional
Latest release version	latest release version latest_release_version	The version number of the latest release of the software product. E.g. 'v1.5', '2008 (v12.2)'. Applicable only if the subject is a computer program, e.g. an IDE or development tool.	String	optional
Latest release date	latest release date latest_release_date	The release date of the latest released version. If no update is released for the software since its initial release, please omit this field; filling in the released field would be enough. The content of this field should look like the following: {{Start date and age|year|month|day}}	String	optional
Latest preview version	latest preview version latest test version latest_preview_version latest_test_version	The version number of the latest preview version or development branch. Should only be specified when development of a new version of the software product in question (newer than one specified in latest release version) is in progress. Please consult descriptions for latest release version provided above for best practices of specifying this parameter.	String	optional
Latest preview date	latest preview date latest test date latest_preview_date latest_test_date	Specifies the release date of the latest preview version or development branch. Should only be specified when development of a new version of the software product in question (newer than one specified in latest release version) is in progress. Please consult descriptions for latest release date provided above for best practices of specifying this parameter.	String	optional
Typing discipline	typing	Specifies the typing discipline implemented, used, or mandated	String	optional
Scope	scope	Specifies the scope of the identifiers, if applicable	String	optional
Implementations	implementations	Applies only if the subject is a programming language, scripting language or something that can be implemented. Specifies the IDEs or development tools that implement the subject of the infobox.	String	optional
Dialects	dialects	Applies only if the subject is a programming language or scripting language. Specifies the dialects of subject of the infobox, if any.	String	optional
Influenced by	influenced by influenced_by	Name of notable concepts, methodologies, approaches, or practices that influenced the creation of the subject of the infobox.	String	optional
Influenced	influenced	Name of notable concepts, methodologies, approaches or practicies that were created under the influence of the subject of the infobox.	String	optional
Programming language	programming language programming_language	Applies only when the subject of the infobox is a computer program. Specifies the programming language with which the subject of the infobox is created. If the program language of the software product has a corresponding article in Wikipedia, please link to it. E.g. '[[C++]] and [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]]'.	String	optional
Platform	platform	The computing platform for which the subject of the infobox is designed. Can be specific processors like '[[IA-32]]' (i386), '[[x86-64]]', 'Itanium', 'ARM' or 'MIPS'.	String	optional
Operating system	operating system operating_system	The operating system on which implementations of the language works. Please be as accurate as possible in specifying this parameter (but also be mindful of the length) and avoid specifying vague phrases such as Cross-platform (or its redirect, Multi-platform). E.g. '[[Microsoft Windows]]' or '[[Windows]]', '[[Windows XP]] and later'. If the software is an operating system–independent web application, ignore this parameter.	String	optional
License	license	Type of the software license under which the consumer is allowed to use the product. E.g. '[[Proprietary software|Proprietary]] [[commercial software]]', '[[Freeware]]', '[[Free software]]', '[[GNU General Public License]]', '[[BSDLicense]]'.	String	optional
File extension	File extensions file ext file_ext	Name of the notable filename extensions associated with the subject of the infobox.	String	optional
File format	File format file_format fileformat	Name of the notable file formats associated with the subject of the infobox, except plain text.	String	optional
Website	website	The web site URL of the software package. This URL must be readable in print. Thus, use the '{{tl|URL}}' template like this: '{{URL|http://www.example.com}}'. Avoid using printer-hostile forms like '[http://www.example.com Example website]'. In absence of this parameter, infobox attempts to acquire the website link form Wikidata. This parameter overrides the Wikidata link. (It is useful when a second infobox for something different is defined on a page.) In addition, the special value 'hide' suppresses this field, even in presence of a Wikidata link. (It is useful for articles that have several infoboxes and do not want all of them show a Wikidata link ad nauseam.)	String	optional
Body style (CSS)	bodystyle	CSS styling for the infobox as a whole	String	optional
