  • {{{1}}} - The name of the player - will be made a link to their page on the wiki. This is an anonymous parameter, so it will take the first unnamed parameter.
  • {{{2}}} - The year the player competed. In parentheses, the tournament (e.g. Teen, Teachers, College). If year is unknown, a question mark is recommended.
  • {{{3}}} - The number of wins in regular season play. If left empty, will default to 0.
  • winnings - Their total cash winnings. If a number of wins is entered, winnings will take not take default value, so it'll appear empty if nothing is entered. This is not a valid state, but will avoid showing incorrect data. If a number of wins is not entered (i.e. 0 wins), it will default to 0.
  • loss - The money they earned for losing. Should typically be either 2 or 1 (which are displayed as 2,000 and 1,000). No default, because tournament participants receive money based on overall placement and thus do not receive separate money for getting 2nd/3rd, and because sufficiently old tournaments gave non-cash prizes for 2nd and 3rd. Note that this doesn't sort properly when the winnings are tied, but who cares.
  • {{{4}}}/info - Additional information about the player. This is the 4th anonymous parameter, so will only work without a name if all previous parameters are provided (name, year, wins). If this is not the case, it can be manually specified using "info". It is a known bug that, if you embed a link into the info, it will need to explicitly be given the name "info" - it will not be displayed if left anonymous.

To view the column names for this table, see Template:Jeopardy! table start.

{{Jeopardy! row|Ken Jennings|2004|74|winnings=2,522,700|loss=2|NAQT member}}
  • Year, wins, winnings, and final placement known. However, wins known to be 0 so 3rd anonymous parameter left blank and "info" parameter used explicitly.
{{Jeopardy! row|Jeff Hoppes|2004|loss=2|info=Lost to Ken Jennings}}
  • Known year and number of wins, but unknown winnings/final placement. Thus, it shows an empty cell.
{{Jeopardy! row|Mystery Regular-season Contestant|1901|3}}
  • Known wins and winnings (0 and $0) with 3rd place finish.
{{Jeopardy! row|Regular-season Loser|1901|loss=1}}
  • Known wins and winnings (0 and $0) with non-cash prize for losing.
{{Jeopardy! row|(Old) Loser|1901 (Teen)|info=Won a set of steak knives.}}
  • Known wins and winnings and no cash prize for losing because it was a tournament.
{{Jeopardy! row|Tournament Participant|1901 (Teen)|4|winnings=30,000}}
