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

buildtag
Required: The whole known build string, for example 6.3.9431.0.winmain_bluemp.130615-1214
or 5.1.2428.idx01.010129-1827
. 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.
build of
Required: Link to the article about the Windows version that this build belongs to, e.g. [[Windows 8.1]]
or [[Windows Server 2003]]
. Standard wikitext syntax can also be used to change the displayed text, e.g. [[Windows XP Media Center Edition|Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005]]
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.
image
File name of a screenshot without the initial File:
prefix. If not provided, a placeholder will be used instead.
Caption to annotate image
.
version
, build
, revision
, lab
The version, build, build revision numbers and the build lab name from the build tag. Leave empty if the exact value is not known.
arch
CPU architectures on which the build is available (leaked/released).
compiled
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.
timebomb
This field describes the timebomb type and date. For fixed date timebombs, this should be a date in the ISO 8601 format, i.e. 2004-01-14
. 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. + 444 days
.
certificate expiry
Certificate expiration date, if different from the timebomb. Leave empty if certificates remain valid after expiration and thus don't affect successful installation of the build.
emulator
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.
base
For versions that use a separate build tag scheme, this is the build tag reported by the Windows kernel. Input the full build tag of the base build itself; do not put just a link to the build.
winver
File name of a screenshot of winver
or About dialog in older Windows versions without the initial File:
prefix.
sku
List of SKUs in which the build is available (leaked/released) separated by <br>
tags, preferably from low-end to high-end
key
Product key required when installing.
rivals
Use the rivals template to link pages on TCB & BA.
