| 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 type of quantity of which it is a unit |
| symbol | The symbol used for the unit |
| symbol2 | A secondary, alternative symbol for the unit |
| symbol3 | A tertiary symbol for the unit |
| namedafter | The person after which the unit is named |
| extraheader extralabel extradata extraheader2 extralabel2 extradata2 |
Miscellaneous (e.g., a unit conversion if only one is given) |
| 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 |
