Stringoptional

You can optionally include a caption that will appear beneath the image. Use this rather than '''name''' to provide additional information or context for the image you include.

Stringoptional
D'ni Namedni-name

If the device has a D'ni name, provide it here in Dnifont format, ''without'' the accompanying <nowiki><dni></dni></nowiki> tags.

Stringsuggested

If a device or machine exists in a specific Age or location, provide a link to that location's article using this parameter. If the device is portable (such as the [[KI]]), do not include this parameter.

Stringsuggested
D'ni Dictionary Namedni-dictionary

If the device has a corresponding dictionary entry, provide the name of that entry here. Do not include the <code>Dictionary:</code> namespace, that will be added automatically.
