  • description a description of what the function does and how it works
  • parameters a {{parmdesc}} list of the parameters the function accepts and relative description
  • internal if set a box will remind the function is to be used only internally by the database abstraction layer
  • return description of what the function returns if anything is returned
  • notes additional notes if needed
  • example an example of how the function must be used, please use the <nowiki> and </nowiki> tag to surround the code block as described in the {{code}} template documentation
  • additional fields tree additional fields where is possible to specify the name of the parameter and its content, to be used like in {{parmdesc}}: |name of the field|d1=description of the field
