; <code>|image=</code>: Many infoboxes have has the ability to show an image of the subject by providing the filename, eg <code>|image=lifeform.jpg</code>. This parameter should be on the first line after the opening <code>{{infobox-template</code> as the image is placed at the top of the page. The filename will be passed to {{t|row/image+artist}} and will show the image and provide attribution to the artist.

=== Location & Setting ===
To indicate the setting within which the subject matter is discussed, the following parameters are accepted. At least one of these should be provided, and they should be provided in most-to-least specific order, as they are in the above list.
; <code>|world=</code>: The <code>world</code> parameter should provide the name of the non-Earth planet the subject is located on. This will generate a link to the planet passed and may categorise the article in an appropriate planet category. Many infobox templates offer a <code>raw-world</code> (<small>or <code>world-raw</code> in few cases</small>) variant of this, which can be used to bypass the automatic link generation when it is not applicable.
; <code>|earth=</code>: If the setting is an alternative earthEarth, the <code>earth</code> parameter should be used instead, and should provide the series name (such as <code>|earth=Alcatraz</code> which will create a link to [[Earth (Alcatraz)]] or <code>|earth=Reckoners</code> to link to [[Earth (Reckoners)]]). andFor maya categoriselist theof articlevalid inEarths, ansee appropriate category[[Earth]].
; <code>|universe=</code>: IfUse neither<code>universe</code> alongside with either <code>world</code> or <code>earth</code> areto sufficient,specify thenthe connected universe of the subject - or to indicate that it takes place in a standalone universe.

; <code>|region=</code>: To indicate a more specific area or region the subject is from, provide the <code>region</code> parameter
