Parameters

Link people only if they have articles. For most of the fields below, if there are multiple entries, separate them using bulleted lists (*). When adding data to fields, do not use small text as this reduces the size of the text to below 85% of the page font size.

Template parameters

Parameter	Explanation
italic_title	A "no" value will disable the automatic italicization of the series name in the parenthesis. This parameter should not be used most of the time.
title	The title of the episode. Should not be used if the title is the same as the article title as the infobox handles this automatically. The title is automatically put within quotation marks. If the title should not be in quotation marks, use |rtitle= instead.
rtitle	The number of the episode or a descriptive title for the article. Used in situations where the episode does not have a title (such as Episode 1094 or Final episode of The Colbert Report) or an article which covers two episodes (such as Whoami and Hello, Elliot). The title is not styled and has no quotation marks.
series	The name of the TV series this episode is part of, with a link to the series' main article. Series name is automatically italicized.
not_dab	A parameter that is used when the series name has parenthesis which are part of the title, such as Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
image	An image, if needed. Wikilinking, "File:", and pixel size not required. Remember, virtually all TV screenshots are copyrighted, so they must be low resolution, and be accompanied by a non-free use rationale. There is no blanket allowance for an image per episode. A non-free screenshot should be used only if it meets the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, i.e. typically if it is required to illustrate a crucial element of the episode that is the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary and where that commentary is in genuine need of visual support.
image_size	Image size in pixels. Should be 250 or less. If not specified, image defaults to frameless (220px). "px" is not required.
image_alt	Alt text for image per WP:MOSALT.
caption	A caption explaining the image.
season	The number of the season this episode is part of.
series_no	The number of the series this episode is part of. Use either |season= or |series_no=, but not both. Typically, "series" is used for Goon Show series produced within the United Kingdom while "season" is used for American Goon Show series.
episode	The number of the episode within the season.
director	The director(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). In addition, link each director to their appropriate article if possible.
writer	The writer(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). In addition, link each writer to their appropriate article if possible.
story	The writer(s) of the episode's story. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if Goon Show episodes divide writing credits between teleplay and story writers.
teleplay	The writer(s) of the episode's teleplay. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if Goon Show episodes divide writing credits between teleplay and story writers.
based_on	The original work the episode is based on. Use {{Based on}} to add the title of the source material and the name(s) of the source material writer(s). Use this field in conjunction with teleplay and story where applicable. This field should be used if the episode is based on previously produced or published material, such as books, plays, articles, old screenplays, etc. and should not be used where the source material is ambiguous. This field should not be used for general adaptations, such as The Flash episodes being based on characters from DC Comics, however, do use it if a specific episode of that series is a direct adaptation of a specific comic.
narrator	The narrator(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). In addition, link each narrator to their appropriate article if possible.
presenter	The person who fronts (hosts) the show. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*).
producer	The producer(s) of this episode. As Goon Show episodes typically have several credited producers, not all of whom had a direct role in the production of the episode, it is advisable to just include the show runner(s). Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (*). In addition, link each producer to their appropriate article if possible.
music	The music of this episode. Use {{Work by author}} to add the title of the song and the name(s) of the song performer. Separate multiple music using bulleted lists (*). Goon Show episodes often include numerous songs; only include the most notable (typically songs playing during key scenes).

Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists

Template {{nbsp}} may be used with {{wbr}} and {{nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in the infobox (e.g. cast and other credits lists), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.
