Parameter names and descriptions

Note: All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source.

The infobox is intended as a quick reference. Don't add non-data items, like question marks, “none”, “see text” or links to article sections (the article's table of contents already does this). Only add “unknown” to assert that an information point is unknowable, not as a placeholder to show that it is missing from the article.
