All parameters are optional.

Parameter	Notes
name	Creature name to display in top header. May be wikilinked. Italicise if this is the taxonomic name rather than the common name.

species	The creature's species name. May be wikilinked. This will be automatically italicised.
period	Era, epoch or period to which the creature belongs
appeared	If the creature appeared in a book, name the book in this field. If the creature appeared in episodes do not use this field. Instead, list the first appearance in "|first_primeval=" or "|first_new_world=" and the last appearance in "|last_primeval=" or "|last_new_world=". If listing episodes they may be linked to the episode in the episode list using "[[List of Primeval episodes#epn|epname]]", where "n" equals the episode number and "epname" is the episode name.

last_new_world	Last appearance of the creature in Primeval: New World. May be wikilinked as shown in the instructions for "|appeared=" above.
number	Number of creatures that appeared. If many, or the exact number is unknown, a brief comment may be more appropriate than a number.
