Parameters
Link people only if they have articles. For most of the fields below, if there are multiple entries, separate them using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. When adding data to fields, do not use small text as this reduces the size of the text to below 85% of the page font size. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Text for more information.
| Parameter | Explanation |

| crossover_title | The title of the crossover event. The title is automatically put within quotation marks. |
|
The name of the franchise that the TV series belong to. Use franchise2 if the crossover encompasses a second franchise. |
| image | An image, if needed. Wikilinking, "File:", and pixel size not required. Remember, virtually all TV screenshots are copyrighted, so they must be low resolution, and be accompanied by a fair-use rationale. There is no blanket allowance for an image per episode. A non-free screenshot should be used only if it meets the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, i.e. typically if it is required to illustrate a crucial element of the episode that is the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary and where that commentary is in genuine need of visual support. |
| image_size | Image size in pixels. Should be 250 or less. If not specified, image defaults to frameless (220px). "px" is not required. |

| caption | A caption explaining the image. |
| alt_title | The crossover alternative titles, if any. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}. |
| director_overall | The director(s) of the entire crossover. Separate multiple people using {{Plainlist}}. In addition, link each director to their appropriate article if possible. Only use if the directors work on the entire crossover, otherwise use |director#= to list each episode's director.
|
| writer_overall | The writer(s) of the entire crossover. Separate multiple people using {{Plainlist}}. In addition, link each writer to their appropriate article if possible. Only use if the writers work on the entire crossover, otherwise use |writer#= to list each episode's writers.
