|column1=

  • title: name of the featured topic (used for the talk page link)
    Example: 2003 Atlantic hurricane season         for 2003 Atlantic hurricane season
  • lead: name of topic to be displayed in header bar, including any formating and links. Must not include any bold text.
    Example: {{classicon|FA}} [[2003 Atlantic hurricane season]]
  • bookname (optional): name of book associated with topic, where different from title
    Example: Canadian Universities (provides link to Wikipedia:Books/Canadian Universities)
  • count: number of articles in topic
    Example: 17
  • image (optional): name of image to be used, which must not be fair use. If omitted or blank, no image is used.
    Example: 2003 Atlantic hurricane season map.png         (see Image:2003 Atlantic hurricane season map.png)
  • imagesize (optional) size of any image in pixels. If omitted or blank, this will take the value 60 (if there is an image)
    Example: 55
    To make the height 60, like in most of the current boxes, divide length by height and multiply by 60.
  • column1, column2, column3: use these to list the articles in the topic using bulleted lists, with any formatting, links, and the FA/GA stars.
    Example:
    • {{icon|FL}} [[List of storms in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season|List of storms]]
    • {{icon|GA}} [[Tropical Storm Ana (2003)|Tropical Storm Ana]]
    • {{icon|FA}} [[Hurricane Juan]]
    • {{icon|PR}} [[Hurricane Bob]]
    • — etc.
