If the magazine is defunct, include the '''finaldate''' and '''finalnumber''' parameters. If the magazine is still publishing, then these parameters should be omitted entirely:

<pre>
| paid_circulation =
| unpaid_circulation =
| circulation_year =
| total_circulation =
</pre>
The '''company''' parameter should list the publishing company. The '''publisher''' parameter should be the named person who publishes the magazine.
The '''previous_editor''' parameter should include earlier, notable, editors. In particular, the ''founding'' editor (if different from current editor), to a reasonable maximum number.
If '''image_file''' is a .djvu and a particular page is desired, then use the '''image_page''' parameter:
<pre>
| image_page =

If other editing positions are required (e.g. Senior Editor or Associate Editor), use the additional editor fields show below.
