== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Description
|-
| bgcolor   || The colour of the background of the table
|-
| name      || The name of the unit (defaults to {{tld|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; avoid parameter "thumb")
|-
| caption   || A caption for the image
|-
| standard  || The unit system ([[system of measurement]]) of which the unit is a part (e.g. [[International System of Units|SI]])
|-
| quantity  || The type of [[physical quantity|quantity]] of which it is a unit
|-
| symbol    || The symbol used for the [[Units of measurement|unit]]
|-
| symbol2   || A secondary, alternative symbol for the unit
|-
| symbol3   || A tertiary symbol for the unit
|-
| symbol4   || A quaternary symbol for the unit
|-
| nospacebefore    || Set to "yes" if there should not be a space between the value and symbol of this unit.
|-
| namedafter       || The person after which the unit is named
|-
| extraheader<br>extralabel<br>extradata<br>extraheader2<br>extralabel2<br>extradata2 || Miscellaneous (e.g., a unit conversion if only one is given)
|-
| convertfromx     || Set to "yes" when conversions from this unit cannot be represented by simple multiplication. When specified, conversion headings begin with "{{math|''x''}} {{{symbol}}} ''in''" instead of "1 {{{symbol}}} '' in''", and "... is equal to ..." is replaced by "... corresponds to ...".
|-
| units''N''       || Name of system of units used for subsequent conversion, where ''N'' can be 1 to 6
|-
| inunits''N''     || Conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units''N''}}}, where ''N'' can be 1 to 6
|-
| inunits_imp''N'' || Imperial conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_imp''N''}}}, where ''N'' can be 1 to 6
|-
| inunits_us''N''  || U.S. conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_us''N''}}}, where ''N'' can be 1 to 6
