Template:Infobox Windows build/doc

Every page about a Windows build must contain the "Infobox Windows build" template, which provides essential information about a Windows compile.

Usage
The following code will result in the infobox on the right side:

Required: The whole known build string, for example  or. For builds of Windows versions that have a custom build tag scheme that is separate from the actual Windows one, such as Windows Phone 8 or Windows Home Server 2011, this should be the custom tag.

Required: Link to the article about the Windows version that this build belongs to, e.g.  or. Standard wikitext syntax can also be used to change the displayed text, e.g.  will show up as Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, but will link to the main MCE article. This describes the top "Build of Windows ..." field in the infobox.

File name of a screenshot without the initial  prefix. If not provided, a placeholder will be used instead.

Caption to annotate.

CPU architectures on which the build is available (leaked/released).

Date of compilation. In Windows versions preceding Windows XP this should generally be the latest timestamp from a release. Since Windows XP the compilation timestamp forms the last part of a buildtag.

This field describes the timebomb type and date. For fixed date timebombs, this should be a date in the ISO 8601 format, i.e. . The template will automatically calculate the number of days between the compilation and expiration dates.

If the build counts its expiration date from the original install date, this field should be the number of days before expiration, preceded by a plus sign, i.e..

List of emulators or hypervisors that the build is confirmed to work in. This is only to be used if known hypervisors/emulators have problems running the build and specific ones are needed to run the build; it is not to be used as a recommended emulator/hypervisor checklist.

For versions that use a separate build tag scheme, this is the build tag reported by the Windows kernel.

File name of a screenshot of  or About dialog in older Windows versions without the initial   prefix.

List of SKUs in which the build is available (leaked/released) separated by  tags, preferably from low-end to high-end

Product key required when installing.

BetaArchive database search query - this parameter should be the release GUID, if this is a specific BA release, or a string query that is as specific as possible.

Use the rivals template to link pages on TCB & BA.
