Parameters

Parameter name	Purpose	Example
Name	The name of the storm as given by the RSMC, TCWC, or other meteorological organization with jurisdiction over the region where the storm was at peak intensity. (Capitalize every word.)	Super Cyclonic Storm Gonu
Year	The year the storm formed in.	2005
Basin	The basin the storm formed in. One of "Atl", "EPac", "WPac", "NIO", "SWI", "Aus", "SPac".
Type	"Type" of the storm, depending on basin ("hurricane", "typhoon" or "cyclone"). This parameter will accept everything, but ensure proper capitalization.	hurricane or Tropical storm
Image location	Location of picture to use
Alt	Alt text for picture, for visually impaired readers; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images
Image name	Caption for picture (in italics)
Formed	Date of formation; use {{Start date}}	{{Start date|1996|009|23}}
Dissipated	Date of dissipation	October 2, 1996
1-min winds	Highest 1-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately.	160
3-min winds	Highest 3-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately.	160
10-min winds	Highest 10-minute sustained winds in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately.	160
Gusts	Gusts in knots as a pure number. The template will convert appropriately.	160
1-min prefix	If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 1-minute winds value.	<
3-min prefix	If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 3-minute winds value.	<
10-min prefix	If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the 10-minute winds value.	<
Pregusts	If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the wind gusts value.	<
Pressure	Lowest recorded pressure. Expressed as a pure number - value in mbar/hPa. Will convert to appropriate values.	925
Pressurepre	If defined, adds a qualifying prefix to the pressure value.	<
Pressurepost	If defined adds a note to the pressures
Fatalities	Number of people who died. Separate direct and indirect deaths if possible.	65 (36 direct; 29 indirect)
Damages	Damages from the storm in millions of year-of-storm US dollars, expressed as a pure number. Template will convert to reasonable values.	1000
Inflated	If defined, applies a standard inflation to the damage figure to bring to current year USD. Numerical value given here gives number of dp to express it to.	0
Damagespre	If used, adds a qualifying prefix to both damages figures.	At least
Damagespost	If defined, adds a note to the damages figure	costliest [[Atlantic hurricane]] in history
Areas	List of regions affected	[[Florida]], [[North Carolina]]
Hurricane season	The season the storm was a part of	[[2005 Atlantic hurricane season]]

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application.
