== Parameter descriptions ==

Parameters whose names are italicized and underlined are required. Any examples are not intended to represent or reflect actual information or statistics.

; ''{{underline|name}}'' : The institution's official name in English.
; native_name : The institution's official name in its local language or languages (if more than one, separate using {{tl|plainlist}} or {{tl|ublist}}).
; native_name_lang : ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{tl|lang}} instead.
