Template:Infobox magazine/doc

Usage
To use this template please add the following code to the top of the article.

Note: If you have no information for a certain parameter please just blank it rather than removing it so that other editors can see that it needs adding at a later stage



If the magazine is defunct, include the finaldate and finalnumber parameters. If the magazine is still publishing, then these parameters should be omitted entirely:


 * finaldate      =
 * finalnumber    =

If a breakdown into paid, unpaid and total circulation figures is desired, use the following lines instead of the circulation parameter:


 * paid_circulation  =
 * unpaid_circulation =
 * circulation_year  =
 * total_circulation =

The company parameter should list the publishing company. The publisher parameter should be the named person who publishes the magazine.

The previous_editor parameter should include earlier, notable, editors. In particular, the founding editor (if different from current editor), to a reasonable maximum number.

If image_file is a .djvu and a particular page is desired, then use the image_page parameter:


 * image_page =

If other editing positions are required (e.g. Senior Editor or Associate Editor), use the additional editor fields show below.
 * editor2        =
 * editor_title2  =
 * editor3        =
 * editor_title3  =
 * editor4        =
 * editor_title4  =
 * editor5        =
 * editor_title5  =
 * editor6        =
 * editor_title6  =

Parameter explanations and examples
A list of each field, what it is for and an example entry. Required parameters are asterisked (*).

Long lists
Where long lists of names are required and may cause excessive lengthening of the Infobox, please use the hidden template. An example usage is shown below.
