• bodystyle – any valid CSS markup that is applied to the infobox table as a whole. (you may need to use !important to override default values specified elsewhere)
• name – the name of the project, without the 'BattleIntelligence:WikiProject' prefix. (e.g., Tulips)

• userbox – you may enter up to three project userboxes, (using userbox, userbox2, and userbox3) and/or an optional userboxnote:
  • If the userbox is located in the template namespace (i.e., the userbox page starts with 'Template:' in front of the name), then just enter the name of the template, without the 'Template:' prefix:
    • Example #1: {{User WP Templates}} would be entered as |userbox = User WP Templates
  • If the userbox is located in any other namespace (i.e., 'User:', 'BattleIntelligence:', etc.), enter the full name of the userbox page, including the prefix:

• type – passes on the optional type parameter of {{WikiProject status}}: not displayed in infobox
• footnotes – any additional free-form notes about the project.
