Template:ShowInfobox

Renders the right-hand infobox card on a page about a TV series or similar production — as distinct from a person ({{PersonInfobox}}), a place ({{CaseInfobox}} as a Hub Page), or a phenomenon ({{PhenomenonInfobox}}).

Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals, same as the other infoboxes.

Formatting note: the entire template body is written as one unbroken line, with no line breaks between rows. Splitting rows across multiple lines causes MediaWiki to wrap them in stray <p> tags, breaking the layout; leaving line breaks between rows (even with each row correctly on one line) causes blank fields to leave visible gaps. Keep any future edits to this template on one continuous line. (This template's previous version had the second issue — rows were individually well-formed but separated by blank lines.)

Usage:

{{ShowInfobox
|name=Most Haunted
|image=Example.jpg
|caption=Optional image caption
|type=Paranormal documentary / reality series
|network=Living (2002–2010), Really (2014–2019)
|presenter=Yvette Fielding
|first_aired=25 May 2002
|status=Ended
}}

Place at the very top of the page, before the article text.

Parameters

name — required
image — optional. Filename of an uploaded image (without File:)
caption — optional. Caption shown below the image. If the image is AI-generated, the caption must say so explicitly per the Copyrights policy
type — recommended
network — recommended. List multiple eras if the show moved channel
presenter — recommended
first_aired — recommended
status — recommended. e.g. Ongoing, Ended, On hiatus
