This is a documentation subpage for Template:Terminate sentence
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This infobox should italicize the article title automatically. If this is not required, add |italic title=no to the list of parameters. If this is required but the title is not being italicized, try |italic title=force.

This template uses Lua:

Usage

To use this template please add the following code to the top of the article.

Note: If you have no information for a certain parameter please just blank it rather than removing it so that other editors can see that it needs adding at a later stage

{{Infobox magazine

}}

If the magazine is defunct, include the finaldate and finalnumber parameters. If the magazine is still publishing, then these parameters should be omitted entirely:

| finaldate       = 
| finalnumber     =

If a breakdown into paid, unpaid and total circulation figures is desired, use the following lines instead of the circulation parameter:

| paid_circulation   = 
| unpaid_circulation = 
| circulation_year   = 
| total_circulation  =

The company parameter should list the publishing company. The publisher parameter should be the named person who publishes the magazine.

The previous_editor parameter should include earlier, notable, editors. In particular, the founding editor (if different from current editor), to a reasonable maximum number.

If image_file is a .djvu and a particular page is desired, then use the image_page parameter:

| image_page =

If other editing positions are required (e.g. Senior Editor or Associate Editor), use the additional editor fields show below.

| editor2         = 
| editor_title2   = 
| editor3         = 
| editor_title3   = 
| editor4         = 
| editor_title4   = 
| editor5         = 
| editor_title5   =
