|-
| caption   || A caption for the image
|-
| standard  || The unit system ([[system of measurement]]) of which the unit is a part (e.g. [[SI]])
|-
| quantity  || The type of [[physical quantity|quantity]] of which it is a unit
|-
| symbol    || The symbol used for the [[Units of measurement|unit]]
|-
| symbol2   || A secondary, alternative symbol for the unit
|-
| namedafter|| The person after which the unit is named
