TemplateData for Infobox OS
This template can be used to provide a summary for articles on computer operating systems and their particular releases.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | name | Name of the infobox. This is used internally in combination with Template:Latest stable software release/'name' and is also displayed at the top of the infobox if the Title parameter is absent. It must be pure text. Do not include any wikimarkup in this parameter.
| String | required |
| Title | title | Name of the operating system. Displayed at the top of the infobox. If not specified the 'Name' parameter or the PAGENAME are used. It should be plain text. Do not include a wikilink, hyperlink or image in this parameter. | String | optional |

| Logo caption | logo caption logo_caption | Icon to display in the title | Content | optional |
| Logo's alternative text | logo alt logo_alt | An alternative text for the logo. The alternative text is read by screen readers for the blind and must fill out the role of the logo. | String | optional |
| Screenshot | screenshot | A screenshot depicting the operating system in its default configuration. Screen shots should not include any non-standard themes, third-party applications, or personally identifiable information. For example: 'File:Windows 8 screenshot.png' | File | optional |

| Citation for release info | release url release_url | DEPRECATED. Do not use. | Unbalanced wikitext | deprecated |
| Latest preview version | latest preview version latest_preview_version preview version preview_version | For operating systems, the version number of latest preview ('beta', 'unstable', 'development') release (for example 'Windows 8 Consumer Preview'). For operating system versions, the version of latestpreview ('beta', 'unstable', 'development') build (for example '8250') | Line | optional |
| Latest preview date | latest preview date latest_preview_date preview date preview_date | The date of latest preview ('beta', 'unstable', 'development') release (for operating systems) or build (for operating system versions). Should be set to {{Start date and age|Year|Month|Day}} | Content | optional |
| Citation for preview info | preview url preview_url | DEPRECATED. Do not use. | Unbalanced wikitext | deprecated |
| Source code repository | repo | The online source code repository, if available. For example, the sourceforge or github project page. As with the website parameter, this should use the {{URL}} template. In the absence of this parameter, infobox attempts to acquire the repository link from Wikidata. This parameter overrides the Wikidata link. | String | optional |
| Marketing target | marketing target marketing_target | Target audience of operating system or its version | String | optional |
| Language count | language count | Number of languages supported. Causes the list of languages to become collapsed. | Number | optional |
| Language footnote | language footnote | A citation for the number of languages supported. (The list of languages can have an independent citation.) Include<ref> tags if you use the footnote system. | Unbalanced wikitext | optional |
| Language | language human language human_language | Human languages this operating system is available in. Avoid stating just number of translations or wikilinking languages | String | optional |
| Update model | update model updatemodel update_model | Tools or methods of updating operating system | String | optional |

| Preceded by | preceded by preceded_by | For operating system: OS or list of OSs that were officially superseded by this operating system. For operating system versions: previous version of the operating system intended for the same target audience | Content | optional |
| Succeeded by | succeeded by succeeded_by | For operating system: OS that officially superseded this operating system. For operating system versions: next version of the operating system intended for the same target audience | String | optional |
| Official website | website | The web site URL of the software package. This URL must be readable in print. Therefore, you should use '{{tl|URL}}' template like this: '{{URL|http://www.example.com}}'. Avoid using printer-hostile forms like '[http://www.example.com Example website]'. In absence of this parameter, infobox attempts to acquire the website link from Wikidata. This parameter overrides the Wikidata link. (It is useful when a second infobox for something different is defined on a page.) In addition, the special value 'hide' suppresses this field, even in presence of a Wikidata link. (It is useful for articles that have several infoboxes and do not want all of them show a Wikidata link ad nauseam.) | Content | optional |
| Tagline | tagline | A marketing tagline fits perfectly here. Used on iOS and iPadOS version pages. | String | optional |
| Support status | support status support_status | Support status of operating system version. Not applicable to operating systems | String | optional |
| Other articles | other articles other_articles | List of very closely related articles. For loosely related articles, consider using the 'See also' section instead. | Content | optional |
| Body style | bodystyle | CSS style rules to be applied to the entire infobox. Use only when absolutely necessary. Do not use for evil. ;) | String | optional |
The subject's latest release version, latest release date, latest preview version and latest preview date can be moved outside the article.
Users visiting the article may click the version number or『[±]』link in the infobox to edit that external source. This mode is very useful for articles about software products whose vendors keep releasing updates or newer versions. With this mode is enabled, users can quickly and effectively edit the release data without editing the article proper (and cluttering its edit history with inconsequential edits).
Note, however, that if |latest release version=or|latest preview version= parameters are explicitly specified, the infobox does not look for external sources. (This can be useful if, for example, the preview version is frequently updated, but the release version is not.)
To make the infobox retrieve release data from outside the article:
|name= parameter of the infobox: //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Latest_stable_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LSR/syntax|name= parameter of the infobox: //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Latest_preview_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LPR/syntax|latest release version=, |latest release date=, |latest preview version=or|latest preview date= parameters.With a Wikidata entry, OS version information can be input once, and then automatically transcluded to any Wikipedia in any language, as long as they are using a Wikidata template for their data.
See: Template:Wikidata for usage information
