Parameters

All parameters are optional. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.

Parameter	Notes
name	Race name to display in top header (default = PAGENAME).
symbol	The symbol used to represent the number. Displays large in the style of {{Infobox grapheme}}.
type	The type of constant (rational, irrational, transcendental, etc.)
fields_of_application	Fields that the constant is primarily associated with. Separate multiple entries using {{Flatlist}}.
main_applications	Main uses for the constant. Separate multiple entries using {{Flatlist}}.
value	A fixed and easy to represent value for the constant, if it exists.
algebraic_form	Algebraic form for the constant.
approximation	Numerical approximation for the constant.
continued_fraction	Continued fraction for the constant.
discovery_date	Date the constant was discovered, if possible to determine.
discovery_person	Person who discovered the constant, if possible to determine. Wikilink if possible.
discovery_work	The paper or book that first described the constant, if possible to determine.
named_after	Who or what the common name of the constant is named after. Separate multiple entries using {{Flatlist}}.
notes	Notes.
