Parameters

Parameter	Description
bgcolor	The colour of the background of the table
name	The name of the unit (defaults to {{PAGENAME}}). Capitalize the name as if it appeared in the middle of a sentence, for example, "watt" rather than "Watt".
image	The image for the infobox (use full wikicode; avoid parameter "thumb")
caption	A caption for the image
standard	The unit system (system of measurement) of which the unit is a part (e.g. SI)
quantity	The type of quantity of which it is a unit
symbol	The symbol used for the unit
symbol2	A secondary, alternative symbol for the unit
symbol3	A tertiary symbol for the unit
symbol4	A quaternary symbol for the unit
nospacebefore	Set to "yes" if there should not be a space between the value and symbol of this unit.
namedafter	The person after which the unit is named
extraheader extralabel extradata extraheader2 extralabel2 extradata2	Miscellaneous (e.g., a unit conversion if only one is given)
convertfromx	Set to "yes" when conversions from this unit cannot be represented by simple multiplication. When specified, conversion headings begin with "x {{{symbol}}} in" instead of "1 {{{symbol}}} in", and "... is equal to ..." is replaced by "... corresponds to ...".
unitsN	Name of system of units used for subsequent conversion, where N can be 1 to 6
inunitsN	Conversions: the unit expressed in {{{unitsN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
inunits_impN	Imperial conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_impN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
inunits_usN	U.S. conversions: the unit expressed in {{{units_usN}}}, where N can be 1 to 6
