සැකිල්ල:Infobox book/doc

This template is used to present a consistently-formatted table for use in articles about books. Please do not make major changes to this infobox without proposing and discussing it on the talk page first.

Usage

{{Infobox book | name = | title_orig = | translator = | image = <!-- include the [[file:]] and the image size --> | image_caption = | author = | illustrator = | cover_artist = | country = | language = | series = | subject = | genre = | publisher = | pub_date = | english_pub_date = | media_type = | pages = | isbn = | oclc = | dewey = | congress = | preceded_by = | followed_by = }}

Parameters

• Parameters can be safely left blank. Note that you may include an image with no caption, but a caption will not be shown if there is no image.
• Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields.
• Please spend some time at WikiProject Books and/or WikiProject Novels for standards on presenting names and other data.
• In the "language" field, link to the article that is actually about the language; for example, use [[English language|English]], not [[English]]
• The preceded_by and followed_by fields both apply to books in a series and to sequels. They should not connect separate books chronologically.
• Use OCLC when the book has no ISBN.
