| Parameter | Description | 
| name | The physical quantity's name | 
| othernames | Other names (synonyms) | 
| width | To specify the template's width (defaults to 20.5em) | 
| background | To specify the template's background colo/ur (defaults to {{Infobox}}'s default) | 
| image |  To include an image (file name only, e.g. Example.jpg) | 
| caption | To include a caption under the image | 
| symbols | The symbol or symbols used to indicate the quantity in e.g. formulae. | 
|   baseunits (basequantities)  | The quantity expressed in SI base units. | 
| dimension | The quantity's dimension (a product of powers of length L, time T, etc.). Type "wikidata" to pull the entry from wikidata ISQ dimension (P4020), or type your own expression. | 
| unit | The SI unit in which the quantity is expressed | 
| otherunits | Other (non-SI) units used to measure the quantity | 
| extensive | Is the quantity an extensive quantity? (yes/no) | 
| intensive | Is the quantity an intensive quantity? (yes/no) | 
| conserved | Is the quantity a conserved quantity? (yes/no) | 
| transformsas | The behaviour of the quantity under coordinate transformation (scalar, vector, pseudovector, 4-vector, tensor, etc) | 
| derivations | Common way/s to express the quantity using other quantities | 
| value | The quantity value, including numerical value and unit symbols; useful for physical constants. |
