Field	Description
color	The background colour of the headings in the infobox. The colour may either be specified as a word (for example, "maroon") or as a hex triplet (for #CC6666, type "#CC6666"). There are currently no guidelines on the use of particular colours for particular Christian denominations; to discuss this matter, use the talk page. If no colour is specified, the default colour is yellow.
name	The full name of the church.
img	The name of an image file containing a photograph of the church. If the image is called "Image:WesleyMethodistChurch-sepiapostcard.jpg", just type "WesleyMethodistChurch-sepiapostcard.jpg". Do not include "Image:" or enclose the file name in double square brackets ("[[ ]]").
img_size	The width of the image in pixels (px). For example, if you wish the image to be 150px wide, type "150". Do not add "px" after the number. If no number is stated, the width defaults to 220px for an image for a portrait image (i.e., one the width of which is shorter than the height) and 300px for a landscape image (one the width of which is longer than the height).
img_capt	The caption for the image.
landscape	Indicate "yes" if the image has a landscape orientation, that is, if its width is longer than its height.
denomination	The denomination of the church; for example, "Methodist", "Presbyterian", "Roman Catholic". If possible, link the denomination to an appropriate article using double square brackets.
diocese	The diocese that the church is located in, if any.
parish	The parish that the church is located in, if any.
division	If a system other than that of dioceses and parishes is used for the church, these fields can be used to indicate the geographical division and subdivision that the church is located in, for example, "North Carolina Annual Conference", "Tennessee Baptist Convention".
subdivision
founded_date	The dates when the church was founded, constructed, dedicated, closed and/or demolished. If full dates are available, they should be set out like this: "[[6 February]] [[1885]]" or "[[February 6]], [[1885]]". Individual years (e.g., "1908") need not be linked. The starting and ending years or dates of a time period should be separated by an en dash, like this: "1907–1908"; "12 January 1906 – 31 July 1907". To insert an en dash, either type "–" or click on the appropriate symbol in the character insertion table under the edit window.
constructed_date
dedicated_date
closed_date
demolition_date
style	The architectural style of the church. If possible, link the denomination to an appropriate article using double square brackets.
founder	The name(s) of the founder(s), abbot(s), dean(s), minister(s), senior pastor(s) or pastor(s), priest(s), rector(s) and/or reverend(s) of the church, if any. Separate several names with commas (","), or put each name on a separate line by typing "<br>" between the names, thus: "Rev. Dr. and Mrs. James Mills Thoburn,<br>Rev. William Fitzjames Oldham".
architect
abbot
dean

address	The address of the church, including the city and province or state that it is located in. To put each line of the address on a separate line, type "<br>" between the lines.

phone	The telephone number of the church, including the country code and area code.
website	The website address of the church, thus: "[http://www.wesleymc.org www.wesleymc.org]".
