Template:Infobox Twitch streamer/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This infobox is intended to be used in articles about Twitch personalities, often referred to as streamers, rather than using the generic {{Infobox person}} template. The template may be used for individual Twitch streamers or collective Twitch accounts run by more than one person.

Usage

[edit]

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article and then filling in the desired fields. Any parameters left blank or omitted will not be displayed.
