The name of the product. If this is left blank, the InfoBox will display the article's name here, so it only needs to be given when there is a difference between product name and article name.
type =
(required) Core Game Set, Rulebook, Sourcebook, Novel, Anthology, etc. See Product Type Classification Tree for an survey of product types.
author =
Use where applicable, otherwise use the following two instead:
