Template:Parameter names example (All parameters, vertical format)
| name=
is the only required parameter, all other fields are optional. Copy and paste the following blank instance to the article page; do not delete fields just because you're unable to find or source the information in the moment, only those that fundamentally do not apply to that particular school system. The empty parameters will not be parsed for display until a value is added, and the empty fields will serve to alert future editors to information that still needs to be researched and included in the article.
