Parameters
All fields are optional because they use ParserFunctions, which allow fields to be hidden if no value is set. The infobox is segmented into several basic parts, including the name of the site, an image, a map of the site's location, basic information about the site, and information pertaining to the registers on which the site is listed. Wikilinks and other formatting are acceptable in any of the Infobox fields except map/image and coordinate parameters.
Please spend some time at the Historic sites WikiProject and its talk page for standards on presenting names, designations, and other data.

Basic information
Basic information consists of information that can apply to any site, regardless of what it has been designated. This includes information like the site's location; when the site was built, formed, or founded; and information about who built it and how it was built. Basic information parameters are as follows:
- name
- Most recognizable name of the site. This may or may not be the official name given by any designation registers. See WP:TITLE for more information.
- native_name
- The name of the site in its native language. For sites in countries that have more than one common language, choose the language most closely associated with the specific region of the country in which the site is located, and use the native_name2 and native_name3 parameters for other languages. Only three languages are supported at this time.
- native_language
- The language of the native name or its corresponding ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 language code. This uses the ((lang)) templates to display a link to the article about the language. If a language name (e.g. "French", "Russian", etc.) is specified, ((Lang2iso)) converts it into its ISO abbreviation.
- native_name2
- The same as the native_name parameter above.
- native_language2
- The same as the native_language parameter above.
- native_name3
- The same as the native_name parameter above.
- native_language3
- The same as the native_language parameter above.
- type
- Type of object
- location
- City, country, state, province, etc. in which site is located. If known, the postal address of the site can be included here as well. It is suggested that links are provided to the cities and countries.
- area
- Land area of the site. Mostly used with districts, parks, and other extended areas. ((Convert)) tags may be used to display English alongside metric measurements.
- elevation
- Elevation above sea level. ((Convert)) tags may be used to display English alongside metric measurements.
- height
- Height of designated object, if applicable. Mostly used with statues, obelisks, and some buildings. ((Convert)) tags may be used to display English alongside metric measurements.
- formed
- If the site is a natural land formation or habitat, this parameter describes when it was formed.
- founded
- If the site is a city or locality which was founded by a group of people, this parameter describes when it was founded.
- built
- If the site is a building or manmade structure, this parameter describes when it was built.
- beginning_label
- If none of the above labels quite apply to the article's subject (i.e. if the place was "settled" or "discovered"), this parameter can be used in conjunction with beginning_date to show a customized date.
- built_for
- If a building or structure was built for a specific person (such as a king or queen) or organization, this parameter identifies them.
- demolished
- If the site is no longer standing because it has been demolished, this is the date of demolition.
- rebuilt
- If the site was rebuilt after being demolished or destroyed, this is the date the site was rebuilt.
- restored
- If the site was remodelled or restored to its original condition, this is the date of restoration.
- restored_by
- The person who restored or remodelled the building.
- architect
- If the site is a building or manmade structure, this parameter names the architect. If Wikipedia contains an article about the architect, link to that article.
- architecture
- If the site is a building or manmade structure, this parameter describes the architectural style. Links are encouraged.
- visitors_num
- Most recent figure describing the number of visitors to the site in a given year. If a specific year is not known, an estimated annual number of visitors can be included.
- visitors_year
- If a specific year was used for visitors_num, the year goes here. If there is a reference, include it in this parameter, making sure to properly format it.
- governing_body
- Body that owns/operates the historic site. If there is a Wikipedia article about the governing body, link to it. If the site is owned by a local or national government, be sure to provide adequate regional information.

Designations
The main focus of this infobox is on the designations, which are displayed hereafter the basic information about the site; up to 5 are allowed. Normally designations are listed in decreasing scope (i.e. an international designation first, followed by a national one, etc.). Each designation is represented by a colored bar, controlled by the ((Designation)) template. Though the Designation template is used in the background here, it can be used as a stand-alone template to create tables, lists, and even other infoboxes. For more information see Template:Designation/doc.
To display a designation, there are several templates. While no parameters are necessary, it is recommended that at least the designation date and reference number (if applicable) are known before adding the designation. For each designation (1-5) the following parameters may be used:
- designation1
- Input the callname of the designation here. For a list of supported callnames, see Template:Designation/doc#Supported designations.
- designation1_offname
- The official name of the historic site, as listed in the register. If the official name is the same as the common name at the top of the infobox, this field is not necessary. If more than one name is included on the register, include all of them.
- designation1_type
- Some registers have certain types of designations (i.e. "Natural" and "Cultural", "Grade I" and "Grade II", etc.). If the type is closely associated with the designation, input that type here.
- designation1_criteria
- Some registers require sites to meet specific criteria (normally one or more items in a list) for inclusion. If the criteria is known, input it here.
- designation1_date
- Date when the site received this designation. Normally this parameter needs a reference (make sure it is properly formatted).
- delisted1_date
- If a site has been removed from a designation's list, this is the date of delisting. Setting a value to this parameter causes the designation's color bar to turn grey and adds the word "Former" to the beginning. This parameter also needs a reference.
- designation1_partof
- Some designations are part of larger designations (i.e. an individually designated building inside a designated district or an individually designated district in a designated city). For example, Ellis Island is a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument; both are listed as New York City Landmarks. If the larger designation is listed on the same register, include the name of the larger designation here. If a Wikipedia article exists about that designation, link to it.
- designation1_number
- Most registers include unique reference numbers for each site so that they can be searched for more easily than by name (There may be two Jones Houses on the register, but they have unique reference numbers). Include this reference number here.
|designation1=World Heritage Site
|designation1_offname=Obélisque antique
|designation1_type=Cultural
|designation1_criteria=ii, iv
|designation1_date=March 4, 1972<ref>((cite web|...))</ref>

|designation1_partof=[[Statue of Liberty National Monument]]
|designation1_number=70010045
For designations 2-5, these same parameters are used, only "designation1" in all the parameters is replaced by "designation2", "designation3", etc.
- Custom parameters
Besides all of these hard-coded parameters there is also the possibility of adding up to 3 custom parameters for each designation. These can be used for information specific to that single register (such as "Region" for World Heritage Sites or "Multiple Property Submission" to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places). If there is anything extra needed to fully identify the designated site, include it here.
- designation1_free1name
- The name (bolded part) of the 1st custom parameter you would like to identify.
- designation1_free1value
- The value to which you want to set the custom parameter.
|designation1_free1name=Region
|designation1_free1value|[[World Heritage Sites in Europe|Europe and North America]]=
Up to three custom parameters can be named and defined for each parameter (| designation1_free2name =, | designation1_free2value =, etc.).
Use as a child template
The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another (see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes).
((Infobox ABC
| name =
| <!-- etc. -->
| embedded = <!-- or module= -->
((Infobox historic site
| embed = yes
| <!-- etc. -->
))
))
Embedding other templates
The embedded parameter is used for embedding other templates into this infobox (see Wikipedia:Infobox modules).
((Infobox historic site
| name =
| <!-- etc. -->
| embedded =
((Infobox ABC
| embed = yes <!-- or child=yes or subbox=yes-->
| <!-- etc. -->
))
))
Examples
The two infoboxes shown above are two great examples of this infobox in action. The Arles Obelisk infobox shows a site which makes use of a native name, and the Statue of Liberty infobox shows four separate designations. The infoboxes are repeated here, along with more examples, showing the code behind them:
Arles Obelisk
| Arles Obelisk | |

| Coordinates | 43°40′35″N 4°37′39″E / 43.67636°N 4.627594°E |
| Built | 4th century |
| Rebuilt | March 26, 1676 |
| Architect | Jacques Peytret |
| Type | Cultural |
| Criteria | ii, iv |

| Region | Europe and North America |
| Official name | Obélisque antique |
| Designated | 1840 |
| Reference no. | PA00081180 |
 Location of Arles Obelisk in France | |
This is an example of a standard infobox with two designations. Notice in the World Heritage Site designation, an external link to a page describing the site is provided in the reference number section. Also, in the date section, a small link (such as those seen in ((Infobox World Heritage Site))) is provided detailing the World Heritage Committee session in which the obelisk was designated. The location parameter includes a line break (<br /> or ((br))); this is perfectly acceptable in all infobox fields except map/image and coordinate fields.

The Statue of Liberty has been designated as four different things; with this infobox, they can all be shown in the same place. Notice the National Monument section makes use of one of the free parameters by stating under which U.S. President the monument was designated.

The Choco Culture National Historical Park has also been designated four different things, but one is no longer active. The park used to be a U.S. National Monument but was delisted in 1980 and converted into a National Historical Park. To show the former designation, notice that the infobox greys out the National Monument bar and adds the word "Former" to the beginning of the designation. Notice also that the locator map is not displayed since the locmapin parameter is left blank.

This infobox does not specify an image, causing the map to be displayed at the top of the infobox instead of at the bottom. You can also choose to display an image with no map (by leaving the locmapin parameter blank as in the above example) or to display neither. If, however, coordinates are known, it is suggested that a map be included.
