Parameter Description
name The physical quantity's name
othernames Other names (synonyms)
width To specify the template's width (defaults to 20.5em)
background To specify the template's background colo/ur (defaults to {{Infobox}}'s default)
image To include an image (file name only, e.g. Example.jpg)
caption To include a caption under the image
symbols The symbol or symbols used to indicate the quantity in e.g. formulae.
baseunits
(basequantities)
The quantity expressed in SI base units.
dimension The quantity's dimension (a product of powers of length L, time T, etc.). Type "wikidata" to pull the entry from wikidata ISQ dimension (P4020), or type your own expression.
unit The SI unit in which the quantity is expressed
otherunits Other (non-SI) units used to measure the quantity
extensive Is the quantity an extensive quantity? (yes/no)
intensive Is the quantity an intensive quantity? (yes/no)
conserved Is the quantity a conserved quantity? (yes/no)
transformsas The behaviour of the quantity under coordinate transformation (scalar, vector, pseudovector, 4-vector, tensor, etc)
derivations Common way/s to express the quantity using other quantities
value The quantity value, including numerical value and unit symbols; useful for physical constants.
