Line 31:
However, most templates have parameters, such as dates, URLs, article names, images, numbers or strings. Determine which parameters are or may be used in the template. Parameters may be passed by equal signs. For instance, the <code><nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki></code> template is passed values to complete a citation, such as <code>url=</code>, <code>title=</code>, <code>accessdate=</code>, ''etc.'' Other parameters may be used by their position instead. In this case, use numbers "<code>1</code>", "<code>2</code>", ''etc.'' instead of names for the parameters.
 
The [[Wikipedia:Template documentation|template documentation]] on the main or sub-page may summarize which parameters can be set on a template, and what each parameter must include. Also, TemplateDate must be included in the template documentation page.
