Parameters

If the parameter is not known, the field should be removed from the infobox to ensure that unknown (see example above right) is displayed, rather than the field appearing empty. [This is due to a wiki limitation.]

title

Name of the software product as displayed inside the infobox. To use the {{PAGENAME}} parameter, remove this line from the infobox. Leaving the field blank will cause the name to be displayed incorrectly.

logo

Use the {{software/logo}} template to insert an image into this field, e.g. {{software/logo|ProgramLogo.png}}. If no file is available, and the line is deleted, a generic software icon will be used.

Alternatively, an image can be specified using the standard [[File:]] wiki markup.

developer

Name of the current developer of the software product. It can be either an individual or an organization/business.

The version number of the latest release of the software product.
