Parameter Description
bgcolor The colour of the background of the table
name The name of the unit (defaults to {{PAGENAME}}). Capitalize the name as if it appeared in the middle of a sentence, for example, "watt" rather than "Watt".
image The image for the infobox (use full wikicode)
caption A caption for the image
standard The unit system (system of measurement) of which the unit is a part (e.g. SI)
quantity The physical quantity of which it is a unit
symbol The symbol used for the unit
symbol2 A secondary, alternative symbol for the unit
dimension The dimensional symbol of the base quantity for the unit
namedafter The person after which the unit is named
extralabel
extradata
Miscellaneous (e.g. If there's just one unit conversion, it can be put here.)
inunitsN Conversions: the unit expressed in {{{unitsN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
inunits_impN Imperial conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_impN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
inunits_usN U.S. conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_usN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
