- name – The article title, e.g. 4-4-0 (The most commonly used name of the wheel arrangement, in brackets)
- image - Wheel arrangement schematic
- alt - Alternative text for the image, displayed when the image cannot be shown (such as for visually impaired users, or for spoken articles)
- caption - Front of locomotive at left (only if non-symmetrical)
- image2 - Loco picture, if possible preferably the first one to use this wheel arrangement
- alt2 - Alternative text for the image
- caption2 - Loco picture description
