The title of the series that the season being graphed belongs to.

The label of the season, including season/series/cycle/etc, and the number. If not included, will default to the title parameter.

Example
Season 1
Unknownoptional
yearyear

The year(s) that the season in question being graphed was aired.

Example
2022
Unknownrequired
colorcolor

The color for the text and the graph in question. This should conform to the color used for the season in other articles. Format should be in either three- or six-digit hexadecimal format, hash optional.

Example
#295354
Unknownrequired
refref

The reference for the scores, in regular reference format. Required to verify scores.

Example
<ref name="RTS1">{{cite Rotten Tomatoes |id=game_of_thrones |title=Game of Thrones |type=tv |access-date=May 22, 2022}}</ref>
Unknownrequired
alignalign

Direction to align the table (left or right). Aligning will float the table, excluding will center the table.

Unknownoptional
yAxisMinyAxisMin

Sets the minimum value of the Y axis. By default, this lower bound is set at 60—numbers higher than 60 are ignored. Avoid misleading the reader by using this parameter to emphasize or deemphasize the severity of fluctuations in score. Series with relatively flat and stable scores can leave this parameter at default but those with patterns may benefit from a lower bound at 0 to better illustrate the trajectory.

Unknownoptional
1, 2, 3...1, 2, 3...

Unnamed/numbered parameters for the scores. One parameter for each episode, and parameters may be included but not set - these will include an entry on the episode axis for the episode, but the entry for the episode will remain empty (i.e. for currently-airing seasons).

Unknownrequired
nolowernolower

Removes the Title/|label= text at the bottom next to the reference text.
