ఈ సమాచారపెట్టెలో శీర్షిక పేరు వాలు అక్షరాల్లో కనిపిస్తుంది. ఇలా కాకుండా పేరు మామూలుగా కనపడాలి అనుకుంటే పరామితుల్లో |italic title=noను చేర్చాలి. ఒకవేళ పేరును వాలు అక్షరాల్లో చూపించాల్సిన అవసరం ఉన్నప్పటికీ, అది దానంతట అదే అలా మారకపోతే |italic title=force అని కొట్టి ప్రయత్నించండి.

This template uses Lua:

This is an infobox for video games. It is capable of pulling reliably sourced values from Wikidata when fields are omitted. (See WP:VG/WD for a guide to editing Wikidata.) To prevent Wikidata from pulling data for a field, use the parameter in the template but leave its contents blank.

Syntax guide

Note: In the following, plurals such as "developers", "publishers", "artists", etc do not exclude the singular (i.e. "artists", for example, implies "artist or artists"). Similarly, with the credit fields, individual development tasks for one field (e.g. which artists designed characters and which designed concept art; or which writers created story lines and which wrote scripts) should not be mentioned in the infobox but in the article text instead. Individual tasks should be generally kept to prose and the field should only list key people.^[1]^[2] For example, the distinction between story and script writers of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is mentioned in the article's development section.

Parameter	Default	Description
`collapsible`	no	Set `=yes` to make the box collapsible.
`fetchwikidata`	ALL	If you don't want all values to be fetched from wikidata, specify their property names here (see Module:WikidataIB for more details)
`suppressfields`		If you want to exclude some Wikidata values, specify their property names here (see Module:WikidataIB for more details)
`onlysourced`	yes	Set to no if you only want to fetch values from Wikidata that do not have references (see Module:WikidataIB for more details, and see this RFC, which requires reliable sources for imported Wikidata fields in infoboxes, before doing so)
`qid`		Set to the Wikidata QID of the entry that you want to retrieve info from, if it is not the page that the template is being used on
`refs`	no	set to yes if you want to fetch references from Wikidata (displayed inline and in the refs section)
`noicon`	no	when set to no, a small pen icon will be shown next to items populated from Wikidata, which can be used to edit the value. If set to yes, the pen icons will be hidden, and instead a single link stating "Edit on Wikidata" will display at the bottom of the Infobox.
`state`		Determines the initial collapsed state of the infobox. Set `=collapsed` to put the box in collapsed state initially. Set `=expanded` to put the box in expanded state initially. Set `=autocollapse` to have the box's initial collapsed state be determined automatically based on the number of other templates in the article that also have the "collapsible" attribute. (Has no effect if `collapsible` is not used.)
`title`		The full name of the game including punctuation and style (e.g., "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" instead of "Super Mario RPG" or "Legend of the Seven Stars"). Do not wikilink the name of the game.
`image`	బొమ్మ (P18)	The ideal image is an English-language cover or, in the case of an arcade game, a promotional flier. Secondarily, use a logo or foreign-language cover. When cover designs differ between regions, use the cover from the region associated with the game's first English language release, though do not change another English-language version that has been uploaded first. Use art without platform decals, such as PC cover art, where possible. Avoid screenshots (per consensus), and multiple images (per WP:FUC #3). Also see the WPVG image guideline. Format the filename without the `File:` prefix (e.g., `Name.jpg`). The infobox uses "frameless" and "upright" flags to auto-size the image and accommodate user preferences. Do not manually set the image size with added syntax (e.g., "frameless", "upright", or "px").
`alt`		Alternative text – A short descriptive text associated with an image that serves the same purpose and conveys the same essential information as the image. Useful in situations where the image is not available to the reader, e.g If they are using a screen reader due to a visual impairment. See WP:ALT for information about how to write good Alternative text.
`caption`	media legend (P2096)	A short description of the image. Is it a flyer, a game cover, or something else? (See above for what an image should consist of.) This is used as the alternate text that will be displayed below the image. (Does not show if `image` is not used.)
`developer`	developer (P178)	The popular name or names of the video game developers. This field is for the game development company (e.g., Nintendo) or, if confirmed by primary sources, the name of the team that developed the game (e.g., Nintendo EAD). The names can be wikilinked. Individual development tasks handled by different companies (e.g., scenario, programming) and ports should not be mentioned in the infobox but in the article text instead.
`publisher`	ప్రచురణకర్త (P123)	The popular name or names of the video game publishers. Add publishers for English-language regions and the developer's region. The names can be wikilinked. Use the {{Video game release}} template for regional publishers. If there are many publishers or if the list grows too long, use the {{Collapsible list}} template, fill the field `title=` with the primary publisher, and also include the field `titlestyle=font-weight:normal;background:transparent;text-align:left;`.
`series`	పరంపర (P179)	The video game series the game is associated with. Only use this field if there is an article for the series. Wikilink and italicize the names (such as `''[[Halo (series)\|Halo]]''`).
`engine`	software engine (P408)	The game's engine. Only use this field for those engines listed in Category:Video game engines, either engines with an established, independent article (such as Unreal Engine), or those that have a redirect to their own section on an appropriate developer or series page (such as Dunia Engine). Wikilink its name (such as `[[id Tech 3]]`).^[3] Do not list common middleware engines such as Havok, SpeedTree or Euphoria.
`platforms`	platform (P400)	The unabbreviated console or operating system family for which the game was specifically developed. With multi-platform games, order by chronology; if the game was released on multiple platforms on the same day, list that subset in alphabetical order. This field includes dedicated ports, but not games in emulation or services. E.g., we would include the platforms listed in green, but not include those red below: Deus Ex was ported specifically for the PlayStation 2, but was emulated on the PlayStation 3 EarthBound was not ported but emulated on the Wii U Virtual Console Star Fox 2 was developed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but only later saw release in emulation on the SNES Classic Edition Windows, not Steam or Oculus Rift Xbox 360, not Xbox Live Arcade, nor Xbox One from Microsoft's backward compatibility program iOS or Android, not App Store or Google Play The original platform, not PlayStation Now or OnLive Games that were developed for macOS should cover the operating system's name as it was at the time of the game's release: Classic Mac OS (before September 13, 2000) Mac OS X (September 13, 2000–July 24, 2012) OS X (July 25, 2012–September 21, 2016) macOS (September 22, 2016–present) For short platform lists, consider using {{unbulleted list}} ({{ubl}}) to arrange each platform on its own line. For long platform lists (more than 10 or so platforms), and in which there was a key primary platform, consider using {{collapsible list}}, with its `\|title=` set to the primary platform (see for example Lemmings (video game))
`released`		Add release dates according to the `platforms` field, for English-language regions and the developer's region. Use only general public release dates of full games, not mod, festival, preview, or early access dates. If sourced, use the game's exact release date ("నవంబరు 2, 2024"). Use the {{Video game release}} template: `{{Video game release\|NA\|నవంబరు 2, 2024}}`. If there are many release dates, enclose them all with the {{Collapsible list}} template^[4] followed by `\|title=` with a {{Nobold}} template using the earliest release date. Platforms can be abbreviated to fit in one line and should be listed as bolded section titles without colons, separated with commas (e.g., PC, 3DS, PS4). Only use WW to provide clarity where a game has various differing release dates including multiple regional release dates on some platforms and worldwide on other platforms.
`genre`	శైలి (P136)	The gameplay genre or genres (such as first-person shooter, adventure, etc) the game is categorized in by its developers and publishers, or by reliable sources. Do not include broad gameplay mechanics that are frequently confused with genres, such as open world. This should not include thematic genres (like science fiction, horror, etc.) as video games are more difficult to categorize in such a way. Verifiable thematic genres can be mentioned in the article's body.
`modes`	game mode (P404)	Playing modes offered by the game. Currently, the only accepted values are single-player, multiplayer, or both.^[5]
`arcade system`	has part(s) of the class (P2670) arcade system board (Q631229), qualifier అవతారం (P31)	The name of or names associated with the arcade game's system board hardware. In case of unique arcade hardware, omit this field and use those below.
`director`	దర్శకులు (P57)	The popular names of the game directors or creative directors who oversaw the creative development of the game. The names can be wikilinked. List only the person credited specifically with the title "director"; Do not list other types of directors in this field; For games directed by a succession of people (e.g. MMOs and games with exceptionally long development cycles), indicate their years of involvement.
`producer`	నిర్మాత (P162)	The popular names of the video game producers in overall charge of the production of the game. The names can be wikilinked. List only the person credited specifically with the title "producer"; Do not list the "Executive producer" or other "sub"-producer credits; If three or more people are credited as "co-producer"s, discuss whether any one played the most significant part and, if decided, list that person; List the "Creative producer" only if said person's involvement in the game is discussed in the article's development-related section.
`designer`	నమూనా కళాకారుడు (P287)	The popular names of the video game designers, i.e. people who worked on the game's system. The names can be wikilinked. This field is often unfilled in modern high-budget development due to large team sizes and collaboration. Older games and indie games are more likely to use this position. If a single person is credited as "Lead designer", list that person; synonyms for this position include "[game] design director" and "lead planner"; If there is no equivalent to #1, omit this field; If three or more people are credited as "lead designer"s, discuss whether any one played the most significant part and, if decided, list that person.
`programmer`	programmer (P943)	The popular names of the video game programmers. The names can be wikilinked. This field is often unfilled in modern high-budget development due to large team sizes and collaboration. Older games and indie games are more likely to use this position. If a single person is credited as "lead programmer", list that person; synonyms for this position may include "technical director"; If there is no equivalent to #1, omit this field; If three or more people are credited as "lead programmer", discuss whether one played the most significant part and, if decided, list that person.
`artist`	game artist (P3080)	The popular names of the video game artists. The names can be wikilinked. List the person credited as "art director" or "lead artist"; List no more than three people in this field.
`writer`	రచయిత (P50)	The popular names of the video game writers. The names can wikilinked. The writers should be listed in the order of their contribution, with those who wrote the game's scenarios/scripts listed before the game's story writers. If a single person is credited as "scenario director" or "scenario writer", list that person; synonyms for this position include "lead writer"; If there is a person credited as "scenario concept writer" or "[original] concept", also list that person here; List no more than three people in this field.
`composer`	సంగీత దర్శకుడు (P86)	The popular names of the video game composers. List people who contributed significantly to the soundtrack. Discuss inclusion criteria on a per-game basis on the talk page.
`commons`	కామన్స్ లోని వర్గం (P373)	The commons category link
