Parameter	Description
name	The physical quantity's name
width	To specify the template's width (defaults to 20.5em)
background	To specify the template's background colo/ur (defaults to {{Infobox}}'s default)
image	To include an image (file name only, e.g. Example.jpg)
caption	To include a caption under the image
symbols	The symbol or symbols used to indicate the quantity in e.g. formulae.
baseunits (basequantities)	The quantity expressed in SI base units.
dimension	The quantity's dimension (a product of powers of length L, time T, etc.). Type "wikidata" to pull the entry from wikidata (P4020), or type your own expression.
unit	The SI unit in which the quantity is expressed
otherunits	Other (non-SI) units used to measure the quantity
extensive	Is the quantity an extensive quantity? (yes/no)
intensive	Is the quantity an intensive quantity? (yes/no)
conserved	Is the quantity a conserved quantity? (yes/no)
transformsas	The behaviour of the quantity under coordinate transformation (scalar, vector, pseudovector, 4-vector, tensor, etc)
derivations	Common way/s to express the quantity using other quantities

Examples

Electric charge
Common symbols	Q, q
SI unit	coulomb
Other units	Elementary charge
In SI base units	A⋅s

{{Infobox physical quantity{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox |/sandbox}}
| name = Electric charge
| symbols = {{mvar|Q}}, {{mvar|q}}
| baseunits = [[Ampere|A]]⋅[[Second|s]]
| unit = [[coulomb]]
| otherunits = {{nowrap|[[Elementary charge]]}}
}}

Power
Common symbols	P
SI unit	watt
In SI base units	kg⋅m2⋅s−3
Derivations from other quantities	P = E ∕ t P = F ⋅ v P = I ⋅ U

{{Infobox physical quantity{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|sandbox |/sandbox}}
| name = Power
| unit = [[watt]]
| symbols = {{mvar|P}}
| baseunits = [[kilogram|kg]]⋅[[meter|m]]{{sup|2}}⋅[[second|s]]{{sup|−3}}
| derivations =
 {{ublist
  | {{math|1=''P'' = [[Energy|''E'']] ∕ [[Time|''t'']]}}
  | {{math|1=''P'' = [[Force|''F'']] ⋅ [[Velocity|''v'']]}}
  | {{math|1=''P'' = [[Electric current|''I'']] ⋅ [[Voltage|''U'']]}}
 }}
