The Infobox Song template has several parameters, many of which are optional. If the song has been released on multiple games, the Song page should have a Games section which will house the information that applies to each individual version of the song.

Parameter Required Description
Title Yes The name of the song.
Recording No Adds a player for the song which includes an icon for the output type. Use the Recording template. Include a player for each output type the game supports. For multiple games, use Template:SubSong.
Image No The file name of the picture which best represents where this song is played. Example: "example.png" If you need to show multiple images, use Template:SongScreenshot. For multiple games, use Template:SubSong.
