Parameters
Note: Do not link to an article more than once in the infobox. All parameters are optional. See also MOS:FILM. For full details, see the TemplateData section below.
It is recommended to list multiple works of a medium (e.g. films) using {{Plainlist}}, as the infobox will look cleaner without bullets.
