This template largely resembles {{Infobox software}}, except:
- It has the following new parameters (the descriptions of which you can study below):
|engine=
,|included with=
- It does not feature the following parameter:
|Alexa=
In all other areas, it works exactly like {{Infobox software}}.

{{Infobox web browser | name = | logo = <!-- Image name is enough --> | logo alt = | logo size = | screenshot = <!-- Image name is enough --> | caption = | screenshot alt = | screenshot size = | collapsible = | author = | slogan = | developer = | released = <!-- {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}} --> | discontinued = | ver layout = <!-- stacked / simple --> | latest release version = | latest release date = <!-- {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}} --> | latest preview version = | latest preview date = <!-- {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}} --> | status = | programming language = | operating system = | included with = | engine = | platform = | size = | language = | language count = <!-- Number only --> | language footnote = | genre = | license = | website = <!-- {{URL|www.example.org}} --> | standard = | AsOf = }}
Parameters[edit source]
Latest versions in separate templates[edit source]
Infobox retrieves the software product's latest release version, latest release date, latest preview version and latest preview date from outside the article. Users visiting the article may click the numbers directly 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).
To make the infobox retrieve release data from outside the article:
- Create an external source that supplies data for latest stable release. To do so:
- Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value supplied in
name
parameter of the infobox:https://wiki.freephile.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Latest_stable_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LSR/syntax
- In the page that opens, fill in the required information.
- Save the page.
- Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value supplied in
- Create an external source that supplies data for latest preview release. To do so:
- Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value suppplied in
name
parameter of the infobox:https://wiki.freephile.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Latest_preview_software_release/INFOBOX_NAME&action=edit&preload=Template:LPR/syntax
- In the page that opens, fill in the required information.
- Save the page.
- Copy and paste the following URL into your browser's address bar, replacing INFOBOX_NAME with the value suppplied in
- In the main article delete any
latest release version
,latest release date
,latest preview version
orlatest preview date
parameters (otherwise they will take precedence over templates' data). - Save the article.
- Refresh the article.
The same templates may be shared between related articles. To do so, specify the subpage name of the templates' versions in the infobox's parameter |name=
and add |title=subject of the article
parameter to make the infobox display the proper name in the article.
Different latest versions[edit source]
