Parameter notes

• name This is the "common name" the comics creator is associated with. Usually this is also the article's title. This field is required to either be completed or deleted. Deleting the field with default to the article title.
• name_nonEN for names of the comics creator in their own language, if different. If you specify this then you must also specify an ISO 639-1 language code in |nonUS=.

  Example: nonUS= ja

• Placing images in the infobox uses two fields:
  • image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.

  Example: image= example.jpg

  • image_size which is the width the image will display at. The template expects just a number without the px.
• alt needs to be updated with the alternative text for the image. This is not the same as the caption. It should be kept short, but needs to be descriptive of the image.
• caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s).
• birth_name is the comics creators full birth name.
• birth_date is the comics creator’s date of birth. If living, use {{birth date and age}}, {{birth-date and age}}, {{birth year and age}}, or {{birth based on age as of date}}. If deceased, use {{birth date}} or {{Birth date text}}.
• birth_place is the comics creator’s place of birth.
• death_date is the comics creator’s date of death (in form already given). If birth date or year is known, use {{death date and age}}, {{death-date and age}}, or {{death year and age}}. Otherwise, use {{death date}} or {{Death date text}}.

• nationality is the comics creator's nationality. Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT.
• area is the main fields in which the comics creator works (i.e. writer, pencils, inks, colorist, letter, etc.). This field can either be entered directly or entered using the following logical fields:

  • cartoonist – cartoonist

• awards lists any awards the comics creator has won.
• partner lists the comics creator's partner(s) when the "spouse" parameter below does not or cannot be applied. Note: Keep WP:BLPNAME in mind with this field. The partner should be mentioned within the article and integral to the reader's understanding of the subject.
• spouse lists the comics creator's spouse(s). Note: Keep WP:BLPNAME in mind with this field. The spouse should be mentioned within the article and integral to the reader's understanding of the subject.

• signature if available, a scanned image of an artist's signature. As with the main image, only the filename needs to be entered here. The template will automatically limit the image size to 128px.
  • signature_alt needs to be updated with the To keep in line with alternative text for the image. This is not the same as the caption. It should be kept short, but needs to be descriptive of the image.
• module for an embedded template
• website for the comics creator's official web site. Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL|example.com|optional display text}} as in example.com. Do not include the www. part unless the server requires it.
• bodyclass will add a class or classes to the bodyclass. If the hlist parameter is passed, lists can be given as parameters to fields, which will be made into lists that are accessible to those with screen readers
• nonUS is an ISO 639-1 language code or one of "japanese", "hebrew", "korean", "chinese", "serbian", or "greek", for identifying comics creators that either do not work in, or work primarily outside, the US comics market. It is required if you are using |name_nonEN= because it determines the language code parameter passed to the {{lang}} template which wraps the name; if it is not specified you will get a visible error and the article will be added to Category:Lang and lang-xx template errors. It also changes the spelling of the term "colorist" (American spelling) to "colourist" (British spelling).
