Parameters

Expansion name

This is the name of the set, such as Time Spiral or Betrayers of Kamigawa. The entry should appear similar to:

|  Expansion Name    = ''Time Spiral''

Expansion symbol & description

The symbol is an image that identifies the set. Consider 96px as a default width for the image, but adjustments will be necessary depending on the exact symbol involved. The description is a very short line of text describing the image.

|  Expansion Symbol   = [[file:MTG largeset expsym.svg|96px|expansion symbol for ''Time Spiral'']]
|  Symbol Description = An [[Hourglass|hourglass]]

Set information

This is the bulk of the information contained in the infobox, and the box's main reason for existing.

|  Release Date       = October 6, 2006
|  Size               = 301 cards + 121 timeshifted
|  Keywords           = Buyback, Echo, Flanking, Flash, Flashback, Kicker, Madness, Morph, Shadow, Split Second, Storm, Suspend, Threshold
|  Mechanics          = Timeshifted cards, Slivers, Thallids, Spellshapers, Rebels
|  Designers          = Brian Tinsman (lead), Aaron Forsythe, Devin Low, [[Mark Rosewater]]
|  Developers         = Brian Schneider (lead), Michael Donais, Aaron Forsythe, Devin Low, Matt Place
|  Development Code   = [[Rice Krispies#The "snap, crackle, pop" sound|Snap]]
|  Expansion Code     = TSP

Print run

The print is the total number of cards printed. These numbers were released only until The Dark so please don't add any of the various existing estimates for sets after The Dark. These estimates are speculation.

|  Print run          = 35,000,000

Indices

The last entries establish the set within the continuum of Magic and allow for easy navigation between pages. Note that all sets are in italics; the current set is not a link. The block name is neither. The Set Position references the set's position within its block. (Large sets will always be First, small sets will be Second or Third.) If a set is not part of a block, leave the last five fields blank. Only Alpha does not have a "Last Set." All sets, however, have a "Next Set". "Last Block" and "Next Block" are used to clear up confusion about how block expansions line up together, excluding other expansions like the Core Sets.

|  Last Set           = ''[[Coldsnap]]''
|  Next Set           = ''[[Planar Chaos]]''
|  Block Name         = Time Spiral
|  Set Position       = First
|  First Set          = ''Time Spiral''
|  Second Set         = ''[[Planar Chaos]]''
|  Third Set          = ''[[Future Sight]]''
|  Last Block         = [[Ravnica (Magic: The Gathering)|Ravnica Block]]
|  Next Block         = [[Lorwyn|Lorwyn Block]]
