This template is used on 235,000+ pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The format is {{s-ttl|title=enter title here|years=enter years title was held here|parameter=}}, where parameter= can be any of the optional parameters listed below.

Usage note: Any parameter displayed in italics or bold in the example below must not contain line breaks in the wikitext; for values with multiple lines, use <br /> instead of a manual line break.
