Template:Infobox Windows version/doc

Purpose
This infobox provides essential information on versions of Windows.

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

The marketing name for the particular Windows release. If not provided, it gets automatically filled in according to  and   values, therefore   should be omitted for pre-1995 Windows versions.

This describes the product line the particular Windows release belongs to. This parameter has the following legal values, which expand to the respective descriptions:
 * ⇒ (up to, including, Windows 10 original release)
 * ⇒ (Windows 10 November Update and newer)
 * ⇒ (up to, including, Windows 10 original release)
 * ⇒ (Windows 10 November Update and newer)

This is the version number of the particular Windows release. For families,  ,   this should be a rational number with up to two decimal points. Don't prefix the version number with anything.

Since Windows 10 November Update (family ) this is a four-digit number that happens to be a date in the format YYMM. Please note that the marketing name might not always reflect the version number, e.g. Windows 10 April 2018 Update is actually version 1803 and not 1804 as one would expect!

,
Codenames and preliminary names for the particular Windows release, if any. Please distinguish between a codename, which is only an internal term used to refer to the product (i.e. Whistler Server) and a preliminary name, which is an official name that has been abandoned before the final release (i.e. Windows .NET Server 2003).
