Template:Video/doc

The Video template creates an infobox for use in any article about a movie, TV series or episode, video game animation, TV advertisement, or online video relating to the Forgotten Realms. All parameters are optional except title and can be left blank. If undefined, these optional fields will not appear. An image will be scaled to fit into the infobox, and a caption will be italicized.

For other related types of publications, see Book, Digital document, Subsection, and Comic.

This template is loosely based on the film template at Wikipedia.
