ఈ సమాచారపెట్టెలో శీర్షిక పేరు వాలు అక్షరాల్లో కనిపిస్తుంది. ఇలా కాకుండా పేరు మామూలుగా కనపడాలి అనుకుంటే పరామితుల్లో |italic title=noను చేర్చాలి. ఒకవేళ పేరును వాలు అక్షరాల్లో చూపించాల్సిన అవసరం ఉన్నప్పటికీ, అది దానంతట అదే అలా మారకపోతే |italic title=force అని కొట్టి ప్రయత్నించండి.

This template is designed to be used for articles about comic book series or publications. For a series that has run through multiple publications with different titles or a strip, {{Infobox comics meta series}} should be used.

If this infobox is used or going to be used as a secondary infobox in an article on a character or team featured in a publication of the same name, please consider using the appropriate composite infobox listed below. If not, add " 2ndary_box = y " to the template. It adds the article to a tracking category of articles needing review.

Parameter notes

Common elements

Most of the parameters are designed only to show in the infobox if something is entered. They can be left in the template and empty if the item does not pertain to the article or if the information is not known at the time the template is added.
The title field is an exception. If left empty the infobox will not generate a title. If the title for the infobox is the same as the title of the article, title can either be deleted or commented out. The later is preferable since the name of the article, or the preferred name of the infobox may change.
For multiple items in one field, separate each with <br />.
Example: creators=Stan Lee<br />Jack Kirby
Placing images in the infobox uses three fields:
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
  Example: image= example.jpg
- imagesize which is the width the image will display at. The template will only accept a number here. If left empty or if a string (such as "225px") is entered, the image will default to 250px wide.
  - If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below 250px.
  - The parameter is capped at maximum width of 250. Entering values grater than this will result in the default setting being used.
  - The image will also cap at 450 in height.
The caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s).
Example: A comic book issue cover would be captioned as "Wolverine vol 2, #17. Art by John Byrne."

Specific elements

schedule is how frequently the title was published.
format indicates if the title was an ongoing series, limited series, or a one-shot. It is normally generated selecting one of the following logical fields. However, an entry like "type=(vol. 1) Limited series<br>(vol. 2) Ongoing" will over ride them. Note that the logical fields are not mutually exclusive as title with multiple volumes may have been published on each format.
- limited for limited series. See also Categories.
- ongoing for a series that was not intended to have a finite run or set final issue number.
- 1shot for one issues runs. See also Categories.
genre is not a field for keying, but a set of logical fields which relate to the major genre(s) that the title uses for its stories. The fields will also put the article into the proper categories under Category:Comics genres. To add genres, add one of those listed below in the form "|genre = Y". If multiple genres apply, add " |multigenre=y " and use "|genre = first" for the first genre to be listed.
date is the period that the title was in publication. Normal convention is to list the cover dates, with the months not abbreviated. The year(s) can also be entered as [[YEAR in comics|YEAR]].
issues is the number of issues the title ran. This can be annotated with any odd numbering sequences. 1shot will automatically enter a "1" here.
Creators and primary characters/teams that are, or have been, involved with title can be listed with the following fields. These fields should be minimal, please keep this in mind when dealing with long running titles.
- main_char_team
- issn the ISSN number with which periodicals should be classified
- writers
- artists
  - NOTE: artist should be used when listing creators who contributed in more than one capacity as a penciller, inker, and/or colorist. This would also include those who work in painted or photographic art.
- pencillers
- inkers
- letterers
- colorists
- editors
creative_team_month and creative_team_year create and "as of" notation in the "Creative team" header. Care should be taken with using these fields in light of WP:DATED.
creators lists those that created the series and its signature characters or team. It should not include creators of previously existing characters that were brought into the title.
NonUS is a logical notation for items that were published using non-American spellings. At present this only affects the "Colorist/Colourist" field.
CEheader will change the page that Collected editions directs to. Defaults to #Collected editions. See The New 52 as an example of how this is used.
TPB and ISBN are used to list notable collected editions. Up to 14 can be accommodated (ISBN1, ISBN2, ... ISBN14). "Notable" in this case would be the first printing of one of the first few collections or a collection with citable critical acclaim (industry award nominee or winner for example).
