Please see WikiProject Books and/or WikiProject Novels for standards on presenting names and other data.
- Parameters can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
- Wikilinks can be used in any of the infobox fields.
- name
- Book name or title. If parameter is left blank, name will be inherited from the page title where this infobox is invoked.
- image
- Image (prefer 1st edition where permitted)
- caption
- Image caption (should describe the edition used)
- editor/editors
- Editor(s) only when they are the primary contributor, e.g. dictionaries, encyclopedias, anthologies
- author/authors
- Author(s)
- title_orig
- Original title, if not in English
- working_title
- Working title, when different from published title
- translator
- Translator(s), if original not in English
- illustrator
- Illustrator (where used throughout and a major feature)
- cover_artist
- Cover artist, if any
- country
- Country of original publication
- language
- Language of original book. Do not link unless it is an unusual language.
- series
- Series (if any)
- release_number
- The "release number" of a book within the "series" (also would be called a "volume") - n.b. only relevant for an article where "series" is populated
- subject/subjects
- (for non-fiction)
- genre/genres
- (for fiction)
- set_in
- can be both time and place as setting. No need to create long lists. Use approximate dates/places if it is not clearly specified in the text.
- publisher
- Publisher of primary publication (prefer 1st edition); also
|publisher2=
for additional publishers. - pub_date
- Date published (1st edition)
- english_pub_date
- Date first published in English if 1st edition is in another language.
- published
- Alternate parameter, using the following composite format: year (publisher) (language, when originally written in a foreign language); use {{plainlist}} when there is more than one notable edition
- media_type
- Print / Digital (then binding types etc., if relevant)
- pages
- Pages (prefer 1st edition, specify edition as needed)
- award/awards
- Awards(s) the book has won
- isbn
- (prefer ISBN of 1st edition). Format: "1-234-56789-0" (10-digit) or "978-1-234-56789-0" (13-digit). If the book has a standard book number (9 digits) add a "0" to the beginning of the number. Do not change a 10-digit to a 13-digit ISBN by prefixing a "978" by hand, because the last digit is a calculated check digit, which will be wrong. Similarly, do not remove "978-" from a 13-digit ISBN to make a 10-digit ISBN. If the book was published before the use of ISBN, do not include this parameter. If the 13-digit number you have does not start with "978", "979-10", or "979-11", then it is not an ISBN and should not be used in this parameter. Change spaces in the ISBN to hyphens. The rules for hyphenating an ISBN are complex (currently 29 pages). Do not add spaces or hyphens to an unformatted ISBN which are likely to be wrong if you are guessing. However the "978" prefix of a 13-digit ISBN is always separated by a hyphen and the check digit — the last character — is always separated by a hyphen. The last character of a 10-character ISBN may be an "X". In such case, use the uppercase "X" character, not any alternate character. Do not put "ISBN" in front of the number.
- preceded_by
- Title of prior book in series
- followed_by
- Title of subsequent book in a series or a sequel
- website
- for the publisher's or author's website about the book.
