; Image: The infobox has the ability to show an image of the lifeform by providing the filename, eg <code>|image=lifeform.jpg</code>. This parameter should be on the first line after the opening <code>{{lifeform</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.
 
=== Categories & Tags ===
; Optional parameters:
Pages that make use of the ''{{t|lifeform}}'' template will be added to [[:Category: Lifeforms]]. In addition, providing <code><nowiki>|sapient=y</nowiki></code> will add the page to [[:Category: Sapient beings]], while providing <code><nowiki>|world</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>|earth</nowiki></code> will add the page to a lifeforms category corresponding to that world/earth (<small>e.g. <code><nowiki>|world=Roshar</nowiki></code> will add the page to [[:Category: Rosharan lifeforms]]</small>).
* To specify what type of lifeform the article describes, such as ???, use the <code>type</code> parameter
* To indicate the lifeforms special skill and properties use the <code>abilities</code> parameter
* If the lifeform has specific uses in the setting they can be listed using the <code>uses</code> parameter
* If <code>|sapient=y</code> is added the '''Sapient''' row will show Yes and the article will be added to [[:category: sapient beings]]
 
; Special parameters:
* To override the title shown in the infobox, the <code>|title=</code> parameter should be passed
