This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox comics set and title.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Comics infobox sec/styles.css

This infobox is intended for use with "hub" or "set index" articles. These are articles that give an overview of the characters that have used a particular alias or codename, but where each of those characters have their own articles which use {{Infobox comics character}}. The articles will also cover or reference a comics series named for one or more of those characters. Examples of this are Robin (character) and Flash (comics).

Articles which cover multiple characters and only some of those characters have their own articles should use {{Infobox comics character}}, leaving out all information save the alter ego for the character(s) with a stand-alone article. Examples of these are Doctor Fate and Atom (comics).

For cases where the character set and the title have separate articles, use {{Infobox comics set index}} and {{Infobox comic book title}} respectively.

Articles for character sets without a related comics series should use {{Infobox comics set index}}.

Parameter notes

Common elements

Most of the parameters are designed only to show in the infobox if something is entered. They can be left in the template and empty if the item does not pertain to the article or if the information is not known at the time the template is added.
The code_name field is an exception. If left empty the infobox will not generate a title. If the title for the infobox is the same as the title of the article, code_name can either be deleted or commented out. The later is preferable since the name of the article, or the preferred name of the infobox may change.
For multiple items in one field, separate each with <br />.
Example: creators=Stan Lee<br />Jack Kirby
Placing images in the infobox uses two fields:
- image which is just the filname of the image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
  Example: image= example.jpg
- imagesize which is the width the image will display at. The template will only accept a number here. If left empty or if a string (such as "225px") is entered, the image will default to 250px wide.
  - If you find the image to be too tall, reduce the size below 250px.
  - The parameter is capped at maximum width of 250. Entering values grater than this will result in the default setting being used.
  - The image will also cap at 450 in height.
The caption will appear below the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s).
Example: A comic book issue cover would be captioned as "Wolverine vol 2, #17. Art by John Byrne."
To keep in line with Wikipedia:Alternative text for images, alt needs to be updated with the "text alternative" of the image. This is not the same as the caption. It should also be kept short, but needs to be descriptive of the image.
For debut, provide the first appearance of the character concept.
- debutmo and debutyr can be used in conjunction with debut. When this is done:
  - debut is only the title, volume number, and issue number
  - debutmo is the month, season or week specified in the issue's cover date. This field is optional so it can be left out if no "month" is part of the cover date.
  - debutyr is the four digit year noted in the cover date. This will automatically link the year to the appropriate "Year in comics" list article. If this field is not present, only the information in debut will show up in the infobox.
title is the title of the publication. If left empty the infobox will generate this based on the title of the article.
An image of an initial, relevant cover can be placed into the info box using cvr_image. Complete the field with just the filname of the image, as with image. The template will add the markup to show the image.
- For use in the infobox, this image will be constrained to a maximum width of 100px and a maximum height of 180px. Uploading a 300px version is recommended since the intent is to allow readers to click through for the more detailed version.
- Please also keep in mind the non-free content guidelines and policies. If a similar image is being used as the main image, do not add an image here as it would be redundant.
The cvr_caption will appear to the right of the image. Keep it short, but indicate the original source published source of the image and the artist(s) just as with caption. cvr_alt should also be provided.

Specific elements

For creators, as with debut, list only the creators responsible for the initial character concept.
characters should list the relevant characters in publication order. Convention is that the current character(s) using the code_name should be bolded. This is not a guideline or part of an existing Manual of style, just how the template is currently being applied.
seealso is a catch all for relevant team articles, expanded character lists, and/or specifically related articles..
schedule is how frequently the title was published.
format indicates if the title was an ongoing series, limited series, or a one-shot. It is normally generated selecting one of the following logical fields. However, an entry like "type=(vol. 1) Limited series<br>(vol. 2) Ongoing" will over ride them. Note that the logical fields are not mutually exclusive as title with multiple volumes may have been published on each format.
- limited for limited series. See also Categories.
- ongoing for a series that was not intended to have a finite run or set final issue number.
- 1shot for one issues runs. See also Categories.
genre is generally not a field for keying, but a set of logical fields which relate to the major genre(s) that the title uses for its stories. The fields will also put the article into the proper categories under Category:Comics genres.
If more than one genre is appropriate, adding |multigenre = y will allow for the genres to all show in the infobox, but the alphabetically first genre will need to use first to add it and not have ", " precede the text.
The currently supported genres are listed here.
date is the period that the title was in publication. Normal convention is to list the cover dates, with the months not abbreviated. The year(s) can also be entered as [[YEAR in comics|YEAR]].
- date should be used when additional information, such as references, or complicated date listings are needed. In other cases, a set of fields can be used to generate the date information. These fields are:
  - 1stishhead - Either the volume number or subtitle used to distinguish multiple volumes. This field is only needed if there are 2 or more volumes.
  - 1stishyr - The year, by the cover date, of the first issue.
  - 1stishmo - The month, season or week specified in the first issue's cover date. This field is optional so it can be left out if no "month" is part of the cover date.
  - endishyr - The year, by the cover date, of the last issue.
  - endishmo - The month, season or week specified in the last issue's cover date. This field is optional so it can be left out if no "month" is part of the cover date.
    - If endishyr and endishmo are omitted, the template will assume that the volume is still being published and substiutute "Present" for a final cover date.
    - Two or more volumes can be indicated by using 1stishhead#, 1stishyr#, 1stishmo#, endishyr#, and endishmo#. Replace "#" with a number (currently the template is set up for 6 additional volumes) and enter the appropriate information.
issues is the number of issues the title ran. This can be annotated with any odd numbering sequences. 1shot will automatically enter a "1" here.
Creators and primary characters/teams that are, or have been, involved with title can be listed with the following fields. These fields should be minimal, please keep this in mind when dealing with long running titles.
- main_char_team
- writers
- artists
  - NOTE: artist should be used when listing creators who contributed in more than one capacity as a penciller, inker, and/or colorist. This would also include those who work in painted or photographic art.
- pencillers
- inkers
- letterers
- colorists
- editors
creative_team_month and creative_team_year create and "as of" notation in the "Creative team" header. Care should be taken with using these fields in light of WP:DATED.
creators_series lists those that created the series. It should not include creators of previously existing characters that were brought into the title. If this field would be the same as creators, leave this field blank.
nonUS is a logical notation for items that were published using British instead of American spellings. At present this only affects the "Colorist/Colourist" field.
CEheader will change the page that Collected editions directs to. Defaults to #Collected editions. See The New 52 as an example of how this is used.
TPB and ISBN are used to list notable collected editions. Up to 10 can be accommodated (ISBN1, ISBN2, ... ISBN10). "Notable" in this case would be the first printing of one of the first few collections or a collection with citable critical acclaim (industry award nominee or winner for example).

Genre list

This is a list of the logical fields the template currently supports for genre.

`\|Adventure=y`	`\|AltHistory=y`	`\|Anarch=y`	`\|Anthology=y`	`\|Anthro=y`
`\|Biopunk=y`	`\|Christian=y`	`\|Crime=y`	`\|Cyberpunk=y`	`\|Detective=y`

`\|War=y`	`\|Werewolf=y`	`\|Western=y`	`\|Zombie=y`

Anthro – for Anthropomorphic – can be refined for funny animal and furry comics:

For funny animals use "funny" or "funny-first" instead of "y" or "first"
For furry comics use "furry" or "furry-first" instead of "y" or "first"

Some of these are mutually exclusive based on subgrenre:

Action-adventure (Adventure) is the parent of — Martial arts (MArts), Spy, Superhero, Swashbuckler(Swash), and War
Crime is the parent of — Detective and Mystery
Cyberpunk is the parent of — Biopunk and Steampunk
Historical is the parent of — Alternate history (AltHistory)
Horror is the parent of — Vampire, Werewolf, and Zombie
Science Fiction (SciFi) is the parent of — Cyberpunk and Post-apocalyptic (PostApoc)
Thriller (Thrill) is the parent of — Spy

In some cases, two or more of the tags will post a combined genre to the infobox. These include:

Comic fantasy — Fantasy and Humor
Crime-thriller — Crime and Thriller (Thrill)
Comic science fiction — Humor and Science Fiction (SciFi)
Dark fantasy — Fantasy and Horror
Erotic fantasy — Erotic and Fantasy
Erotic horror — Erotic and Horror
Gothic science fiction — Horror and Science Fiction (SciFi)
Historical fantasy — Fantasy and Historical
Historical romance — Historical and Romance
Military science fiction — Science Fiction (SciFi) and War
Psychological-thriller — Psychological (Psych) and Thriller (Thrill)
Romantic comedy — Humor and Romance
Romantic fantasy — Fantasy and Romance
Science fantasy — Fantasy and Science Fiction (SciFi)
Science fiction Western — Science Fiction (SciFi) and Western
Weird West — Horror and Western
Wuxia — Fantasy, Historical, and Martial arts (MArts) in cases where "Chinese" can be selected as the original language.

Some series or franchise specific categories exists as subcategories for a particular genre. To avoid double categorization, the following "series" tags can be used:

Bond to replace Spy James Bond comics	Chthulu to replace Horror Chthulu Mythos comics	LoEG to replace AltHistory and Steampunk The League of Extraordinary Gentalmen
WotW to replace Steampunk War of the Worlds comics
