The following is the base code required to generate an infobox. One can copy and paste the base code into an article and insert relevant information in front of the =
signs. Removing HTML comments (<!-- anything -->
) is optional. To avoid accidental misuse, this base code does not have a handful of parameters that must be handled with absolute care and are not normally needed, such as {{{bodystyle}}}

|language count=
parameter in conjunction with this parameter. This will allow the list of languages to be hidden and revealed with the click of a mouse. This method is not printer-friendly: A collapsed list does not appear on print and an expanded list may disrupt the natural flow of the article.|language count=

is not specified. Use of this parameter is not mandatory, as long as appropriate citation information is attached to the text. For instance, citation information may be attached to text itself in the article body or |language=
, especially when there are more than one source for it information given. (E.g. when one source includes full translations and another includes partial translations; or when one source specifies the translations of one given version and another discusses what is added to that version after an update.) As a general rule, avoid citing automatically generated reports, statements about development versions or other sources of time-sensitive information.[[Proprietary license|Proprietary]]
): Software with a license which prohibits modifying the software and sharing copies, and where generally a copy of the source code cannot be obtained by the user. (As in this example, please be sure to link to [[Proprietary license]]
, which is an article about this type of software, and not to [[Proprietary]]
, which is a disambiguation page.)|license=
. Pick either license (American English) or licence (Commonwealth English), not both – select the one which matches the content of the article the template is used in.{{URL|http://www.example.com}}
". Avoid using printer-hostile forms like "[http://www.example.com Example website]
". In addition, the special value "hide" suppresses this field, even in presence of a Wikidata link. This is useful for articles with several infoboxes, to avoid repeating one Wikidata link. If left blank, the Wikidata official website value will display by default.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=Latest preview release/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.
